Did you know that the IRS offers free online training modules to help de-mystify taxes? Even if you’ve spent a lot of time on their website, you may have overlooked this helpful resource, as it is pretty much buried there.
Check it out! You can try your hand at some activities, role play in some tax scenario simulations, or proceed through a series of tax tutorials.
The Hows of Taxes will teach you all about filing status, interest income, exemptions, tax credits, and more. The Whys of Taxes addresses the history behind US taxes, explains what they are used for, and what your role is in paying them.
Let me know if you find these useful. And please, comment below on the tax topics you’d like to know more about, as GCFLearnFree.org is planning future learning around taxes, tax credits, and filing your tax returns.
cool man i wish i could do all dat
Wow! This is such useful information. During September/October ’08 I contacted H&R Block to sign up for their classes on how to prepare taxes, but they were completely full. This will definitely give me a head start for next year. You guys are simply just fab.
I have always wanted to learn how to file my own taxes. It would be great help if I can get the knowledge. Thank you.
I am beginning work at home and I will be getting a 1099 at the end of the year. I would like as much information as you have and/or resources that will help me understand better what I need to do to have my taxes paid correctly. This is all new ground to me. Thanks,
Hopefully the resources mentioned in the article will help you get a good start.
