Teens and ... Taxes?
That's right; it's probably not the first thing teens are thinking about. But teenagers work too — even if only at an after-school, weekend or summer job. And like everybody else, they need to know the basics to understand how their tax system works.
With that in mind, DOR announces the first release in a new "Teens and Taxes" video series designed to educate teenagers about their tax responsibilities. The first video is set on a teenager's first day on the job — and discusses the Form W-4, Employee Withholding Allowance Certificate, she needs to fill out.
As part of the department's mission to educate younger residents about the tax system, "Teens and Taxes" — like the successful DORM (Department of Revenue Media) video series for college students, — will be distributed to Massachusetts schools and posted on YouTube, Twitter and other social networking sites.
The department is interested in hearing from its viewers. Please e-mail us at dormedia@dor.state.ma.us to share your thoughts on this — or other — DOR videos.
