Preparing a 1040EZ Income Tax Form
Source: Council for Economic Education (EconEdLink) | Type: Lesson
Many students in high school or in college have part time jobs and learn the concept of gross pay and net pay. Their employers take out taxes at the federal and state level. This lesson takes a common situation and helps students understand how to complete the 1040EZ form to get all or most of the money deducted for federal income tax refunded.

This seemed like a challenging, yet completely applicable lesson on completing an income tax form. Standard and collaborative classes may have some trouble doing the calculating but it will be great for them to know companies and individuals charge hundreds of dollars to complete tax forms. I often hear from students questions about taxation and how they have trouble completing the form on their own. It is indeed sad that they receive little to support at home when it comes to the completion of the income tax form. This seems like an excellent hands on and practical lesson.
