Boost Your
Tax Knowledge with a Free Learning Program from the IRS
The IRS has a free program for anyone who wants to learn about taxes. “Understanding Taxes” is available 24/7 on

and “why’s” of taxes. The program can make learning about federal taxes as easy
as A-B-C.

and students will find that the nearly 40 lessons on IRS.gov are easy, relevant
and fun!

can quickly look through the program and skip to the part you want.
3. Tutorials, tests and more. A
series of tax tutorials guide you through the basics of tax preparation. Another
feature is a chance to test your knowledge through tax trivia. There’s also a
glossary of tax terms.
4. Customize to fit your style.
If you’re a teacher, you can make the interactive program fit your style. Use
your own lesson plans and plan your own activities. It’s easy to add to your
school’s curriculum.
5. No need to register. You
don’t need to register or login to use the program. You can take a break and
return to where you left off whenever you choose. Just take note of the page and
lesson number before you leave the page.

approach to tax preparation. The lessons are also a great way to learn about the
