Today I trained students on taxes using the OBB software. Tomorrow we are touring the Second Harvest Foodbank of North Central Ohio, meeting Sam, and beginning to plan hard-core for tax season. I am both excited to see the large refunds we are able to return to people and intimidated by all the tax forms. Taxes are complicated. When they called us down to Columbus to train us on taxes, they made us do one of the simulations by hand to appreciate all the work the OBB software does for us. When it's just for funsies and mistakes aren't critical, it was rather pleasant to figure out all the credits and deductions, sort of like a game. But this January it's going to be real people and real money....I can only be immensely grateful that the OBB software is so thorough and does the math for me.
Only 19 days until the first tax clinic.....
