Well, it's official. I've completed 75 hours of training at Jackson Hewitt to become a tax preparer for the 2010 tax season. The company opened its offices this week and I'm not on the schedule yet. But after all the stuff I've learned, I'm excited about finally filling out someone's return and saying "your refund is Big this Year!"
The tips I'm telling friends most often include the American Opportunity Tax Credit for all 4 years of college and the new Louisiana tax credit for school fees, including books and private school tuition. It's up to $5,000 in deductions per child. That's a hefty chunk of change depending on your filing status and adjusted gross income. I'm keeping up with the federal tax changes at Bankrate and MSN Money has great tips as well.
Most of us aren't in the wealthiest 1% demographic. We have complicated lives, need steady incomes, and face money anxiety. But we can still live a luxe, fabulous life on less. Here we share the tips, hacks, and resources for financial freedom through slow FIRE*: squeezing the most satisfaction out of every dollar spent. *FIRE - Financial. Independence. Retire. Early
