Skills covered in this course
Description
In order for the government to run, it needs money. The government gets its money by taxing people. Taxes pay for all sorts of government jobs and services. Federal taxes help pay for national things like the President, Congress, federal judges, and the military. State taxes pay for local roads and the governor. County and city taxes help pay for schools, fire trucks, and the police. Without taxes, the government couldn't run, so as much as we don't like paying taxes, doing so is an important part of living in a society. In this course, we'll define various types of taxes and how they impact you and your income.

Getting Paid: Understanding the U.S. Tax System
In order for the government to run, it needs money. The government gets its money by taxing people. Taxes pay for all sorts of government jobs and services. Federal taxes help pay for national things like the President, Congress, federal judges, and the military. State taxes pay for local roads and the governor. County and city taxes help pay for schools, fire trucks, and the police. Without taxes, the government couldn't run, so as much as we don't like paying taxes, doing so is an important part of living in a society. In this course, we'll define various types of taxes and how they impact you and your income.
Getting Paid: Taxes and Your Pay Stub
Paycheck stubs contain a lot of information. This includes not only the actual payment information, but also deductions for federal and state taxes, Social Security, and Medicare. In this course, we'll go over each of the taxes that you may see deducted from your checks. We'll take a deeper look at Social Security - what it is, how much money is deducted, and the benefits it provides. We'll also go over Medicare and what percentage of pay all workers contribute.
Getting Paid: Understanding Your Pay Stub
Have you ever looked at your paycheck and wondered why the amount is so much less than you thought it would be? It certainly doesn't equal your annual salary divided by the number of paychecks you get in a year. Where does all the money go? That's exactly what we'll be covering in this course. We'll go over the basics of paycheck stubs, whether you're viewing them online or on paper. We'll discuss gross and net pay, deductions, and retirement account funds. We'll also look at hours worked and time off, as well as year-to-date information.
Getting Paid: Your New Job Paperwork
On your first day of a new job, you'll likely need to fill out lots of important paperwork. Some of these forms determine the size and delivery of your paycheck, so you'll want to fill these out correctly and efficiently. This course is designed to help ensure that you do exactly that. We'll discuss filling out an I-9 and a W-4. We'll also go over direct deposit forms, health insurance plans, 401(k)s, and other company forms you may need to complete.
Getting Paid: Do You Need to File a Tax Return?
In our previous programs, we discussed the various types of taxes that come out of your paycheck each time you get paid. In this course, we'll talk about filing an annual tax return, and if you, in fact, even need to do it. We'll cover the income thresholds that require filing. We'll discuss tax credits, deductions, and dependents, including how those impact filing requirements.
Getting Paid: How to File Your Taxes
It's always a fun surprise when filing your federal income taxes, isn't it? "Do I owe THEM money, or do they owe ME money?" In this course, we'll talk about the basics of filing your taxes. We'll go over standard/itemized deductions, the deadline to file, and late-payment penalties. We'll also go over the documents and data you'll need to compile in order to begin filing your taxes.
Getting Paid: Understanding Your Hidden Paycheck
You get paid your hourly wage or salary. You know that number. It's the one you use to pay bills, put food on the table, and go out on the weekends. You see that number on a regular basis by way of a pay stub or check. But that number is just part of the investment your employer is making in you. Understanding a more complete picture of how much your employer is paying you can help you understand how much the company values its employees. This complete picture is often called a "hidden paycheck." It might also be called your total compensation or total rewards. This course will help you determine your "hidden paycheck."
