Suggested Money Lesson Plan for this Worksheet

Give an introductory lesson about paying taxes to your students. 

 

Hand out the 1040EZ form to the students and explain to them each of the lines on the form.  Also explain some terms such as IRS, W-2, Gross Income, etc.

 

As you walk through the form, explain that you start with money earned, and then calculate taxes based on the money earned.  If you get a paycheck, then taxes are already taken out.  When you calculate your taxes, you will find out that you either paid too much in taxes, and will get a refund, or that you did not pay enough and will have to pay additional taxes.
