THE AUDITION
📝TAXES
Filing is how you claim what's yours — and avoid what's not.
The situation
- You made $8,200 last summer at a part-time job.
- Your employer took some taxes out, but you're not sure if it was enough.
- It's January and your W-2 should arrive soon.
- Your parent says you probably don't need to file.
What do you do?
Taxes are adult homework. Do them early, keep your W-2, and never leave a refund unclaimed.

“The government doesn't forget what you owe — but it will forget to give you back what you overpaid unless you file.”
