Accounting and finance professors Jim and Kay Stice will make filing this year's taxes a bit easier for you by explaining basic taxation concepts and terminology. In this course, they cover topics such as taxable income, tax brackets, average tax rates, withholdings, deductions, and credits, and explain the motivation behind federal tax deductions for mortgages, dependents, and charitable giving.
