Wow I’m graduating without knowing how to file taxes

[kirascub]

Shout out to all my responsible 12 year olds watching this video

Living in an abusive household with a mom that ignores all my questions about how to adult - This saved me a lot of anxiety and worry. Thanks for much man.

[kathleenhensley]

Thank you. You calmed me down. My husband died in January and he always did our taxes. I've been pretty spoiled! He always came out of study after doing them grumbling.. now, I know why. Again, Thank you.

I’m not even out of the house yet and I’m trying to be a hard worker and save as much as possible, thanks for making this video

[tanichiYT]

My parents would always pull a, "oh you don't have to worry about it right now" and it pissed me off so much. This video really helped with my stress for once I get a job so I'm very appreciative, thank you!

[connorsworld]

Seriously, we don’t need to learn half the bullshit we do in highschool 😤 but thanks to people like you on the Internet, we can manage, so thanks a lot man 👌🏼👏🏼💯

I'm a 13 year old preparing myself for the future

This is what the school needs to teach us not something we will forget in like 3 years.

When school doesn’t teach you any life skills but YouTube does well better start early

[RoyHoy]

I'm 15! I'm literally bored right now, so I'm learning this. Very confusing.

[paull]

I’m 14, at my 11th year of going to school, and you taught me more about taxes in 4 and a half minutes than school has taught me in 10 1/2 years.

[Elasted]

turned 15 a couple months ago and the first thing I looked for was a job ( got hired at burger king). Worked at BK for about 3 weeks and hated fast food so I quit. Got my paychecks for those weeks and realized I have no idea what taxes are. Wish they taught this in school but this video was very helpful!

[rinqton]

Hey you, yeah you, life’s comin’ around huh. It’s our time.

[taticox]

Ughhh I’m only 17 why do taxes have to come for me

[frankiemartinez]

Children are lucky. Back then we did not have any social media to help us get through this confusing life.

[epsxik]

Omg dude thank you so much for this, I'm 13 rn and I hate how school doesn't teach us about taxes, buying homes etc. It always sounded hard to file taxes but you explained it so well it sounds kinda easy, let's hope it is easy lol

[flawessgrace]

I’m literally 18 and I wanted my parnets to help me out but they literally pay someone else to do
