Financial Literacy Workshop

Are you a postdoctoral scholar wondering how U.S. income taxes work? Join us for an informal and friendly session where we'll break down the basics: what income taxes are, why your pay is withheld, common tax forms, and how deductions and credits may affect your take-home pay.

Learn the essentials of filing taxes, tips for planning your net income, and strategies to avoid surprises at tax time. This session is educational and designed to give you the tools you need to discuss your individual circumstances with a tax professional.

Bring your questions: Heather will provide answers and share resources.
No prior knowledge required, and all questions are welcome!
