I see other answers here saying that they do teach their kids explicitly how to do taxes. I don’t.Why?Most kids don’t find it that interesting, and don’t retain much of what we teach.This is often the answer to “why don’t schools teach us stuff we can use?” Many well intentioned teachers try to instill real-world skills into their students, but students don’t usually find it engaging, and most forget it by the time it comes to use it.It’s because stuff doesn’t feel relevant… until it’s relevant. Once you realize you need the information, you suddenly become motivated, and you learn it fairly quickly (as long as you possess the prerequisite skills, more on this later.)It’s not that we shouldn’t try to teach relevant skills, but to actually add educational value, it needs to be skills that students are interested in picking up.Doing your taxes ISN’T THAT DAMN HARD.Seriously. It’s not.Time consuming? Yes. Frustrating, it can be. Annoying the other 364 days where you had to keep careful records? Sure.But actually doing taxes is not that bad unless you are a small business owner.You get your (sometimes free) tax software and answer all the questions and fill in appropriate boxes.It’s so easy that…Parents could teach their kids in an afternoon.We’re supposed to be teaching your kids the stuff that takes lots of time, or that you can’t.Teach your kids to cook.Teach your kids to fold laundry.Teach your kids to do their taxes.They’ll learn it better from you anyway. We don’t have time for that.Yes, I understand that not everyone comes from a good home, but we don’t have time to teach all life skills in the classroom.Teaching kids how to do taxes isn’t financial literacy.Oh, I definitely teach exponential growth, and the danger of high interest loans and credit cards. I try to instill numeracy. We talk a little about budgeting, saving, and investing.But teaching kids how to fill out a form is not preparing them to handle their finances.Tax law changes constantly. Anything we teach will be obsolete in 5 years.We teach students enough material that will be obsolete. No need to add to the list.And finally…We give students all the prerequisite skills to do their taxes.Math classes are constantly:asking students to take percentagestransferring numbers from here to thereoptimization problems (how can I get the biggest return)forcing students to follow specific directions for complicated processesMath is abstract. We don’t cover all possible applications. But we try to prepare students for anything by exposing students to lots of potential applications.We’ve got a lot to teach. We also provide specific financial math classes if students want to take them.Please just let me teach Algebra.

The FAFSA isn't as scary as it seems, but it's helpful to have the documents you'll need handy before you fill it out. It's available starting January 1 of the year you'll attend school, and it's best to complete it as early as possible so you get the most aid you'll qualify for. Be especially mindful of school and state deadlines that are earlier than the federal deadline of June 2017. Check out NerdWallet's 5 Hacks to Save Time on Your 2016 FAFSA. These are the basic steps: Gather the documents you'll need to complete the form by following this checklist.Log in to the FAFSA with your Federal Student Aid ID. You'll need an FSA ID to sign and submit the form electronically, and your parent will need one too if you're a dependent student. Create one here. Follow the prompts to fill out the FAFSA. This guide will help you fill it out according to your family situation. You'll be able to save time by importing income information from the IRS starting Feb. 7, 2016.

His book describes an “affordability” exercise with the parents and the student. The purpose is to determine what the family can afford to spend on post-secondary education and to SET EXPECTATIONS. He’s not talking about putting your 1040 on the dining room table, but sharing some of the basics of family finances.I get the impression that many families ignore this issue.  I have a study that shows five out of eight students assume their families are going to pay for college regardless of cost. Most of these students are in for a big surprise.PrivacySome parents may want to hold their “financial cards” closer to their chest than others. In my opinion that’s OK. I suppose an 18 year old kid, theoretically, has the right to keeping his finances private. My approach to this would not be to make a big deal out of it but to offer to help them fill out their part of the FAFSA. The main objective should be to get the FAFSA filled out properly, in a timely fashion.FraudThis is absolutely not acceptable, and, hopefully, those who try it get caught and suffer the consequences.

After our conversation he had to file a signNow revision. This revision was a good thing because two or three years from now his mistake was going to come to light. I’m not sure what the consequences of all that would have been, but, at a minimum, it would have been a big mess to unwind.)

Without knowing what country you are in, there is no way to really know. Assuming you are in the U.S. there are two ways for you to do this. One is to fill out a 1040ez form, which is as easy and basic as it gets. Should not take you more than 10 minutes to fill out, and there are services on College Campuses that will help you fill them out for free.Another way is to fill out the W2 form and claim 20 or 30 exemptions. Do that and they will not withhold anything from the money you earn. I believe you will still have to fill out the 1040 ez, but it is now simple, and you will get nothing back because you paid nothing. Don’t forget to file with your state income tax office. There’s more money waiting for you there, too.
