I was fortunate enough to have a really good instructor (from what I have heard, this is rare), but even without a great instructor I found the federal books to be a great source of information.Also, if you take the tax course, you usually qualify to work at H&R Block during tax season. I did work there, and the experience was great - it was really interesting to see how some people made good financial decisions to reduce their tax burden. However, the pay was not great at the location I worked at.In my opinion, it is something to at least consider if you really want to learn more about taxes. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure how to go about it, but it makes perfect sense. Yeah I have only just started to think about that option. I’m not sure how to go about it, but it makes perfect sense.

Also, I should say that this year it looks like we'll be getting a return instead of owing. In the future, I want to break even at tax time...but I'm happy about this :) I don’t LOVE paying taxes but since there’s nothing I can do about it, I try not to grumble too much about them.

I'm no tax expert, but I've learned a lot about taxes from Kay Bell (http://www.dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/).She also writes for Bankrate.comOh, and I should probably also say I'm not affiliated with either Ms. Bell or Bankrate. Just a enjoyer of their websites. Hey! I’m no tax expert, but I’ve learned a lot about taxes from Kay Bell (http://www.dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/).

I got a nice chunk of change last year on my return (almost $3,000) and to think it could have been making interest is irritating. However, it`s more likely that money would have been swallowed up instead of invested. When I got that money I had enough to pay off the remainder of my credit card debt and take a trip to Europe -so it was worth it.
