Sharpen your understanding of the basics of personal income taxes and reporting them on a Form 1040.
Filing your income taxes is a chore. Without a better understanding of the U.S. tax system and the forms used to report to the IRS, filing taxes can potentially become problematic. Learn about recent changes to the income tax laws. Reduce potential IRS scrutiny. With a maze of IRS publications, and confusing and ever-changing IRS reporting guidelines, compliance can be a daunting task for any person.
