Paying Taxes As Teens

Description

Paying Taxes As Teens Is A Story About Deductions, Receipts, and Not Going to Jail.

Kofi made $22.48 from his summer hustles. He thought he was rich. Then his uncle mentioned taxes. “The government takes some,” Uncle said. Kofi panicked. Mia and Lin do not understand taxes either.

Why does the government want my hard-earned pickle money? The three friends go on a hilarious journey to uncover the truth: taxes pay for roads, schools, hospitals, and that nice park where they eat pizza.

But paying taxes is still confusing, annoying, and, in a weird way, funny. Through a crazy tax simulation game, a visit to a grumpy accountant, and a surprise audit (of Mia’s imaginary business), they learn that taxes are not evil; they are just everyone chipping in for the stuff we all use.

Perfect for teens who think taxes are a mystery. Ages 12–15.
