Participating is easy— students will complete the Intuit TurboTax Tax Simulation and then share how the simulation gave them more confidence in filing their taxes in the future. Through a short essay, they'll describe why understanding taxes is important, and how they can apply what they’ve learned to benefit themselves, their family, or community.
