Free Tax Preparation
Did you know the IRS offers FREE TAX PREPARATION if your income is under $49,000?!! I signed up to do volunteer tax preparation at one of the "VITA" sites (VITA is Volunteer Income Tax Assistance). Tonight was my first night doing taxes and IT WAS FUN!! (And luckily I had some more experienced tax preparers looking over my shoulders... so eventually I figured out what I was doing.) Anyway... I just thought it was SUPER exciting that there are some FREE tax perks out there!!
Here is the link to learn more about having your taxes prepared for free at a VITA site:

...Or if you are close to Ogden, the place I volunteer at is: www.cottagesofhope.org. Cottages of Hope is an organization that not only prepares taxes for free... but they also offer all sorts of fun financial classes... like classes on how to save, basic financial literacy, how to spend wisely, etc. I am not sure if the classes are all free, but the organization is a Non-Profit organization... so I would think if the classes did cost money they probably aren't expensive.

As if you aren't busy enough studying, now you are volunteering to do taxes? That is awfully nice of you. I do my taxes for free online and it is great. It is quick and painless. I do have to pay them to file the state taxes, but it is just a small fee.
What?? I didn't know that. We do ours online and I'm not sure how much it costs. Thats cool, Do you volunteer every night?? Maybe we need to make a trip to Ogden to see you!
Good for you. What a nice way to learn how to do taxes. You can work that into a real nice job someday. What a smart young woman you are.
I'm so glad that you have blog~ I had wanted to stay in touch with you! YEAH! Good to know about the taxes!
