Does anyone else remember their first real paycheck? Did you ask, "who is FICA, and why are they taking my money"?! Did the closest adult to you laugh and welcome you to "the real world"? No worries, I rolled my eyes too.  Join me as I get to the bottom of the adulting tax and discuss legitimate ways to reduce the tax burden for those of us in this struggle together. My tax professional [and dad] demystifies the language of taxation and debunks all the tax advice offered by our coworkers, family members, friends, and social media. 

Listen closely! Take notes! We’re all going to be good in this [adult]hood!
