The Internal Revenue Service is pleased to introduce the
new web-based “Understanding Taxes” Program. This
instructional tax program has been converted from a printed
kit to an on-line application at the following address
http://www.irs.gov/app/understandingTaxes/index.jsp. “Unders
tanding Taxes” on the web has been updated and expanded to
make learning about taxes interactive, relevant and fun!

Designed by educators for educators, “Understanding Taxes”
makes real world connections to classroom instruction. It
is a great resource for high schools, home schooling,
community colleges, and the general public for learning
more about the history, theory and application of taxes in
the United States.

The “Understanding Taxes” website is divided into four
areas for easy navigation and use:

· The Teacher section organizes classroom content
into two distinct content areas – the “Whys of Taxes” and
the “Hows of Taxes”.
· The Student section contains a variety of
interactive features to help students understand the basics
of taxes and bring their learning to life.
· The Tools section provides a variety of aides used
to support “Understanding Taxes”.
· The Cool Stuff section contains interesting trivia
and information about real world opportunities.

The Internal Revenue Service has commissioned this state of
the art e-learning application as a part of the family of
products and applications, which well help taxpayers and
future taxpayers, understand and meet their tax
responsibilities. The enclosed brochure provides the
highlights of the program but we invite you to access and
explore this new generation of “Understanding Taxes” on-
line today. Please don’t hesitate to share your reactions
