We spend a considerable part of our working lives managing taxes, an integral component of both personal and professional spheres. Our financial activities, from earning income to making purchases, are often intertwined with various forms of taxation. This includes not just federal income taxes, but also state taxes, personal property taxes, sales taxes, and capital gains taxes, among others. As the deadline of April 15th, the day to submit tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service, approaches each year, many of us start pondering our tax liabilities, potential deductions, and strategies for minimizing tax payments.

On this critical date, individuals in many states are required to settle three types of taxes: federal, state, and, in some cases, city taxes. These taxes are calculated based on the income earned in the previous fiscal year.

Our educational resources offer comprehensive lessons focused on the tax filing process. These materials are designed to aid in understanding the complexities of filing taxes and preparing for future tax seasons. The lessons aim to demystify the tax system, enabling better financial planning and decision-making. They are a valuable tool for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of how taxes work and how to effectively navigate tax obligations each year.

Tax credits are reductions in the amount of tax owed to the government. Unlike deductions, which reduce the amount of taxable income, credits directly decrease the tax bill. There are various types of tax credits, such as earned income tax credit, child tax credit, and education credits. These credits are designed to provide financial relief, encourage certain behaviors, or support taxpayers in specific situations. It's crucial for taxpayers to understand which credits they're eligible for, as this can significantly lower their overall tax liability. Staying informed about available tax credits and their eligibility criteria is essential for maximizing tax savings.

Students will learn about the credit's role in financial support for families, its inflation adjustment, and the importance of meeting IRS eligibility requirements. The aim is to help to understand and maximize this tax benefit for better financial planning and enhanced tax relief.

An earnings statement, also known as a pay stub, is a document that employers provide to employees each pay period. It contains details about the employee's gross pay, net pay, and any deductions or withholdings taken from their paycheck. The statement may also include information about the employee's hours worked, pay rate, and any bonuses or benefits received. Earnings statements help employees track their income and understand how their pay is calculated.

Ever Wonder Why We Don’t Learn About Taxes in School? Here’s One Solution

Why we’re loving this free, ready-to-go solution from EVERFI and Intuit for Education to help high school students learn about taxes.

Intuit for Education and EVERFI are helping students develop healthy financial habits and build confidence about handling their taxes. Learn more>>

Every year we hear a lot of buzz about kids not learning “real” money skills in school, like how to do taxes, for instance. Filing taxes is something every student will navigate in the future. And while most high schools do an amazing job preparing kids for college and careers, it’s tough to fit in time to learn about taxes.

Luckily, we’ve found a FREE, ready-to-go solution to learn about taxes.

Our friends at EVERFI have teamed up with Intuit, the global technology platform that makes TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp, to create the first hands-on tax simulation for high school students. Intuit recently launched Intuit for Education, a free financial literacy platform for classrooms. Embedded within EVERFI’s High School Financial Literacy Course , the Intuit TurboTax Simulation is relevant, accessible, and engaging. And best of all, the curriculum is totally free.

You don’t need to be a tax expert yourself to use the Intuit TurboTax Simulation.

Let’s face it, taxes can be confusing, even for adults! But the Intuit TurboTax Simulation comes with a pack of teacher resources to help you address the topics covered and answer student questions—no extensive prep work required.

Young people learn by putting themselves in others’ shoes.

Built around stories and interactive exercises, the Intuit TurboTax Simulation prepares students to make real-life decisions about finances. Starting with a tutorial on tax basics, students learn how taxes are calculated. Then, through scenarios featuring young people just like them, they work through tax preparation themselves and learn how different life situations impact taxes. Some of the tasks they tackle include how to use tax preparation software, how to pay taxes for a gig-economy job, how to claim student loan interest and educational expenses, and more.

It takes just 45 minutes to complete 5 interactive simulations!

The comprehensive tax simulations walk students through important skills to learn why we file taxes, how different life circumstances impact taxes, and the steps required for preparing them.

The five simulations include:

• Filing Your Taxes
• Tax Credits for Families
• Taxes for Gig Workers
• Taxes for Students
• Taxes for Investments

Quality resources lead to quality learning.

EVERFI’s knack for creating immersive digital environments featuring diverse characters brings personal finance topics to life for students. And like all of EVERFI’s programs, the Intuit TurboTax Simulation was designed with Bloom’s taxonomy framework of learning and assessment in mind. The simulation is aligned with Jump$tart Coalition’s National Standards for K-12 Personal Finance Education. In addition, EVERFI courses also have the ISTE Seal and Digital Promise Product Certification, making them valuable resources you can count on.

Build their confidence for the future.

Using problem-solving, self-reflection, and interactive activities to practice their skills, students will come away with the ability and knowledge they need to handle a very grown-up task confidently on their own. As one high school teacher from Oklahoma says: “I feel like this was an important and effective lesson for my students to learn about financial literacy. They are all about to get summer jobs and it is really important for them to know where their money will be going in regard to taxes. The taxes were a big surprise to them.”

IRS and EverFI simulations.

Use Monopoly to reinforce learning.

The week+ of teaching taxes is usually one of the toughest in my curriculum. The taxes unit brings up a lot of emotions in kids from anger about taxes (usually passed down) to anxiety about the math part since we don’t do a very math heavy curriculum.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of things we could be teaching kids and possibly our own lack of understanding of the complexities of the tax system. Our family hires an accountant to do our taxes each year despite the fact that I know more about it than your average person would. Our system is complicated and mistakes can be costly.

I find that coming back to the question of “what do my students need to know about taxes?” is very helpful. They don’t need to be trained accountants at the end of the unit, fully capable of completing a complicated taxing filing. They just need a basic level understanding of why we pay taxes, where our tax money goes, and how our taxes are calculated at a basic level. This allows for them to make educated tax planning decisions, be informed voters when it comes to the fiscal promises of candidates, and to manage their spending/saving to account for the taxes they will owe in a given year.

If you look into the National Standards for Financial Education , the big ones that stand out to me are:

6a: Calculate the amount of taxes a person is likely to pay when given information or data about the person’s sources of income and amount of spending

6b: Identify which level(s) of government typically receive(s) the tax revenue for income taxes, payroll taxes, property taxes, and sales taxes

7c: Differentiate between gross, net, and taxable income

9b: Explain the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction

Why are we taxed and where do our taxes go?

These are two essential questions to begin with. I find a lot of negative attitudes towards taxes comes from the perception of unfairness, a lack of understanding of what our taxes are used for, a belief that our taxes are misused by the government agencies who spend them. While we can’t erase all of these factors, we can help our students to form more educated opinions about taxes to replace the ones they have been passed down or currently hold from the latest social media video they watched.

I’m a big fan of Two Cents and I’ve championed their work before. They have two videos that I show at the beginning of the unit to get the conversation started and pique interest in learning more about taxes.

Why Do We HATE Paying Taxes?

America has one of the lowest tax rates in the world, and we each enjoy the benefits of our tax dollars every day... so why do we hate paying them so much?

How Do Your Tax Dollars Get Spent?

Remember when you received your first paycheck at your first job and the amount was a little lower than expected? Surprise!

OK… So, How Do We Calculate Income Tax?

Now for the hard part… explaining our tax system! When we talk about income tax, there are two main systems of taxation, ‘flat tax’ and ‘progressive’ or ‘graduated tax’. Both are important to communicate and I feel it’s really important that students understand how our progressive tax system works. Actually getting how standard deductions vs itemized deductions work, and the meaning of “moving up a tax bracket” are BIG ideas when it comes to thinking about your finances and planning for taxes.

I use two videos and a resource to help me out with this one. Two Cents are back again for a great explanation of the different tax systems and throwing the question out there of whether they are “fair” or not to all members of our population.

I follow it up with a visual walkthrough of how a salary is taxed using a federal income tax calculation. This usually leads us off on a tangent about Social Security and Medicare programs, which I ask them to do a little research into and then share their findings with the class. Very informal, but a great task for researching important questions about our finances. We’ll also discuss the challenge the government is facing with social security . I like asking students what they would propose as solutions. We usually get some very insightful debates and come to the realization that the choices available are not great, and very difficult for a political party to propose due to the negative backlash they’d bring up.

“The Social Security Board of Trustees now estimates that based on current law, in 2041,the Trust Funds will be depleted. Because people are living longer and the birth rate is low, the ratio of workers to beneficiaries is falling. Therefore, the taxes that are paid by workers will not be enough to pay the full benefit amounts scheduled.” - Social Security Newsletter

What's important to you?

You can use this long form paragraph to tell your story. This is an opportunity to showcase a unique moment that captures the spirit of your brand.

A Visual Walkthrough of Federal Income Tax

See the process of a salary being divided into the different marginal tax brackets and then taxed using paper money.

Income Tax Brackets Visualization Activity

Next up, we do a federal income tax calculation ourselves. I do a walkthrough with everyone together at a $50,000 salary, and then we do a second at $200,000.

This activity really increased my students' understanding of the progressive tax system as well as their engagement throughout the whole tax unit.

In this activity, students are going to calculate federal income tax using the most updated filing year. You can choose to have kids complete this activity using a pen and calculator, or you can do it with printable cash, which is the way I found my students learned best.

Onto State Income Tax

Depending on what state you live in, your income tax situation is going to be different. Here are the latest State Income Tax Rates across the U.S.

Some states have no income tax such as Florida and Alaska. Some have a flat tax rate like Pennsylvania and Arizona. The rest have a progressive tax system like Federal Income Tax and the brackets can range from 2 - 12 (sorry if you live in Hawaii!).

I’ll usually print the tax tables for where I live (Maryland) and then for some of our surrounding states to compare. We use a Calculate Federal and State Income Tax Worksheet to provide structure and guidance to the students as they navigate the state taxes calculation for the numbers we did in the previous Federal Income Tax calculations to see their total taxes owed.

Calculate Federal and State Income Tax

This resource is designed to help students navigate through the process of calculating taxes owed by hand. From start to end, the inputs needed from students are made clear and the calculations required are shown.

Included in the resource are instructions for the teacher, and helpful video walkthroughs of examples for students.

Practice and Build

How much you practice depends on your own personal viewpoints and the demands of your curriculum and standards. If you are a more math-heavy class, this is probably going to be a big area for you since the piecewise functions nature of progressive tax and using percentages naturally lend themselves to math courses. I have a resource called Calculating Net Pay which gives you over 20 different scenarios where students will have to determine the net pay for a person or couple. It’s a wonderful opportunity to practice and I have done all the heavy lifting for you to find the tax rates for different states and generate scenarios to use. I update it annually around November so that you will always have the most current tax rates for the filing year ahead or just past.

In my class, we spend time at the beginning of our budgeting unit creating a basic personal budget in Google Sheets. We start with a salary that we researched based on the average starting salary for a career we are interested in. We then calculate net income based on average US adult effective tax rates, and then divide our income into the main budget categories based on recommend spending percentages . Once we know how to calculate net income from our taxes unit, we update our Google Sheet Budgets with our better estimation of taxes owed and adjust our budget numbers accordingly. We continue to revisit this Sheet as we explore major budget areas such as food , transportation , and housing .

Calculate Net Pay

Students will be given a salary (gross pay), filing status, state of residence, paycheck frequency, and 401k contribution (Traditional and Roth!) which they will have to use to determine how much money they can expect to get in their paychecks.

This hands-on activity allows students to see how FICA taxes are calculated, what happens in the bracket system at the federal and state level, and how 401k contributions impact taxable income as well as paycheck amounts.

Calculate Federal and State Income Tax Google Sheet - FREE TOOL

I created a Google Sheet that will allow you (or students) to input a salary, select a state income tax, filing status, retirement contributions, and number of paychecks per year to spit out your total amounts owed in taxes, and expected paycheck amount approximation. It’s free for you to use and you can download your copy here .

Simulation Resources

Simulations offer a great place for students to practice and get feedback in a very short space of time and it can often replicate real-life a little bit better. There are some great tax simulations out there but not many great ones that are free. TurboTax used to have an awesome one with fake accounts set up for students to practice with, but it seems like they have disappeared. I have found the IRS website and EverFI’s simulations to be the next best alternative.

IRS Tax Simulations

They’re a little out of date, but the options available are interesting with some W-4 and 1044 options. I like having students do Lawrence, Cicely, and Monica.

EverFI and Intuit Simulations.

They’re free, easy to use, and student can take themselves through it. I have mine submit a screenshot when they complete the first module as evidence it is done.

Put it all together with some Monopoly

Monopoly is my all-time favorite money game and my number 1 recommend resource for teachers to get for their classroom if they can get the funding. I use it as the teaching medium for so many concepts in personal finance and I keep finding more ways to use it each year. For this unit, we can use Monopoly to practice and check for understanding with regards to flat and progressive taxes. I like doing it as my last activity in the Income Tax unit to end on a positive note and assess how well the students understand the different systems. The way they learn to make choices that reduce their taxes owes is a big bonus moment too!

Check out my full series of Monopoly resources here.

Income Tax Monopoly

This resource has tax forms for a flat tax system like we see in 11 of the states in the US, and a graduated (progressive) tax form like we see in the federal income tax system and 32 of the US states (including D.C.). Students play the game with some added 'Classroom rules' to speed up the acquisition of property, the most important being an auction of properties that players opt not to buy. The teacher dictates how often taxes are due and can choose to use the flat tax or progressive tax system for the game. At 'tax time' the students pause the game, calculate their taxable income, and then pay the taxes owed using the provided tax forms.

Who actually has to pay taxes and what happens if I don’t?

I find my teens don’t shy away from these sorts of ethical questions. “What about if I’m paid in cash?” is another popular one I field. This is when I decided to bring in some extra help and I had Sonia Castelan join my class and classrooms across the country to field these technical and ethical questions that I didn’t feel totally equipped to answer!

Taxes for Teens with Sonia Castelan

Taxes can be one of the toughest topics for educators to tackle with students. The students often have great questions and I don't feel qualified to answer them or I end up doing lots of research to try and find an answer. Sonia Castelan from Castelan Tax Services joins us to answer all the major questions students have about income tax as well as covering the main points that they need to know for now and in the future!Some of the questions we handled included: when do I need to start paying taxes? Do I need to file a tax return if I am a dependent? What happens if I get paid in cash? What information do I need to be tracking during the year before tax time? How can I legally avoid paying taxes?

3 resources for fun and effective lessons to teach taxes.

By taking an approach to teaching taxes that is enjoyable and stress free, when kids grow up to manage their own taxes, they won't carry negative preconceptions they may have been inadvertently taught by their elders.

The following resources from the IRS, Econ Ed and Scholastic have access to tons of lessons and activities for teaching kids about tax season. They'll learn about why we pay taxes, their importance and significance in society, as well as a brief history of taxes in our nation.

IRS.gov “Understanding Taxes”

The Internal Revenue Service offers a website dedicated to educational content on understanding your taxes.

“For Educators, every Understanding Taxes lesson includes the correlations to national and state educational standards,” IRS.gov states. “Each lesson plan includes a link to the applicable national and state standards, making it simple to integrate Understanding Taxes into your existing classroom curricula.”

The site for teachers includes a custom resource list, as well as a number of lesson plans on the hows and whys of taxes, being a taxpayer, and tax history. Another site is dedicated specifically for students , and includes activities, tax tutorials and simulations.

Econ Ed Link “Tic Tac Taxes”

This lesson plan from econedlink.org will assist students in identifying various taxes and the services they help governments provide. It pulls it’s resources from Treasury.gov to discuss the economics of taxation, and Irs.gov for tax history.

It also incorporates a tic-tac-toe game to test students knowledge of taxes. The activity sheet asks: “what are the main goods and services of each level of government provides to its citizens?” and “where do governments get the money to pay for all these goods and services?”

Scholastic: Teaching Taxes on April 15

This resource walks teachers through the essentials of teaching taxes on tax day, from simple explanations to what taxes are and the significance of April 15. Some printable activities include solving a maze, looking up tax vocabulary and filling out a crossword puzzle.

Lesson plans are broken down between grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. For grades 3-5, running a classroom economy plan is a great way for students to learn about credits, debits and banking. Students can perform classroom jobs to early daily salaries, budget and save money, and study economic trends.

Kayla Boyer What do you know about W-2 forms? If your answer is “not much,” you’re not alone. Taxes can feel complicated, yet understanding how to read and decipher important employment and tax documents like the W-2 form is critical for anyone employed, now or in the future. Without it, you’ll be unable to file your taxes, and if you don’t file your taxes, well…let’s not go there just yet. Teaching taxes to high school students becomes essential, as students are starting their first job or heading off to college.  For Your Students Many high school students are eager to land their first job in order to feel independent and self-sufficient. And of course, for the sheer joy of that first paycheck. Considering every employee who earns at least $600 annually will receive a W-2 (also known as wage and tax statement ), you likely have students navigating the ins and outs of a W-2 form. While W-2’s can seem overwhelming initially, it’s simply a breakdown of earning over the last year, and the sooner students understand what to expect, the better. Fortunately, the Intuit TurboTax tax simulations for students exist within lesson 2 of the EVERFI: Financial Literacy digital course and are dedicated to providing high school students with the skills and knowledge they need to file taxes. Get Ahead of It It’s important for you to teach these skills now, before they are stumped by a seemingly random document they receive in the mail come tax season. It’s good to know and teach a few things about W-2 forms before April sets in : Your W-2 form shows how much you earned which is known as your compensation, including wages and tips for the year. The document also details what you have paid in taxes throughout the year — both federal and state. In addition, it explains what was withheld from your pay, such as social security and medicare. It also shows how much you contributed to retirement and how much your employer paid for your health insurance. Your W-2 form may arrive by mail or electronically but it must be sent by your employer no later than January 31. When you are ready to complete your taxes, you will need this form and all its information. If you don’t file your taxes with the correct information, you can be subjected to fines and in some cases, possible  jail time . So there you have it. The basics for teaching students about W-2 forms. Your students are going to thank you someday for preparing them appropriately for life outside of the classroom . This is one of those topics where they can’t use the excuse, “when am I ever going to need this in real life?” EVERFI’s no-cost, online financial literacy lessons for high school provides a practical, real-world taxes activity for students. Students will learn how to file taxes, how different life circumstances impact taxes, and gain a better understanding of the steps and requirements for preparing taxes. ___________________________________________________________ Kayla Boyer is a K-12 Schools Manager based in Dover, New Hampshire.
