Tax Preparation
Many people could prepare their own tax returns either by hand or with free online software. This would be a very practical class where we would fill in actual tax forms and look at how to use some common tax software. I would be glad to advise participants on what forms they need for their particular situation. We could look at the tax benefits of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. If we have wifi we can go online to work with actual software. Although it may be more practical to hold this class in the spring, I am much busier in the spring preparing tax returns so my time is limited.
