Our [National Tax Literacy Poll](https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/us-tax-literacy-poll-knowledge-perceptions/) found that more than half of US taxpayers over 18 do not know or are unsure of basic tax concepts, which can have a direct impact on their financial stability and success. The IRS Taxpayer Advocate even declared tax literacy as the main issue of 2024 in its [report](https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ARC24_MSP_08_Literacy.pdf?) to Congress.  Join Tax Foundation’s TaxEDU for a webinar addressing the importance of tax literacy and ways to improve it for you, your children, or your students.  Date: July 30, 2025  Time: 7 PM EST, 4 PM PST  Register below to join us for our virtual Zoom webinar on July 30th!
