Prepare Your Students for REALLIFE
Let's get started!
Each Life Lesson has some basic information about each topic, some links, the Lingo to Learn and a few activities to try out. Let's face it, depending on your major, you may never use the word hypotenuse again, but if you work, you will definitely need a W4 (LL #3). And if you need a W4, then eventually you will get a W2, and need to file a 1040 (LL#15)! Confused yet? Don't be!
Just click on Life Lesson #1 and let's get started!

The Question Section
Real questions from real people - why we care!
"If I get paid $20,000 a year, is it at the beginning of the year, or at the end? How do I pay my bills if it's at the end?"
"If I work 2 jobs this year, do I have to file two tax returns?"
"What do you mean I owe $1,600? Do you mean that the government is going to take $1,600 away from my refund?"
