Taxes Week
Directions
This week you will be learning at your own pace. You should see two posts to the right under "Taxes": Option 1 and Option 2. In Option 1 Each topic has a number of modules that is linked to the IRS webpage that you will work through. Each Module will have a "Quick Check" or a "Skill Check". These will help you determine if you have learned the key points from that module. These are where the questions for your test on Thursday (11/17) will come from. I will give you a chart that will help you keep track of which modules you have completed. You should complete all of the modules and activities that are on the the chart I give you.
