NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 A client that I've known since he was 3, called me yesterday and said that his Mom told him to fax me his W-2s so that I can prepare his tax return again. I gave him my fax number and asked him how many jobs he had. He told me that he had three, but he just wanted me to do his return for the out of state ones and he would file a return online with the other one. I calmly explained that he had to use all of his jobs for his return and can't file his returns piecemeal. I wish that high schools would teach a required personal econ class like I had in high school. We had to learn how to file a short form, reconcile bank statements and pretend to be married and figure out a budget. Most kids have no idea how to do those things anymore. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Even many college students don't know those things, sad to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(s) Yep, but I bet they know all about gay pride and transgender etc. Not to say those thing are bad, but schools need to focus on science and math a whole lot more then they do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I would bet most of us would be qualified to conduct such a class, and perhaps an offer to volunteer one day (not during tax season) would be welcomed by some educational systems.
