Week 10 - Taxes


 Last evening we learn a lot about taxes and the new tax law changes that are happening now and are about to come.


In 1789, in a letter to Jean Baptiste Leroy, Benjamin Franklin wrote, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

What new tax law did you learn?
