TAX DAY
Everyone is required to pay income taxes on or around April 15. In this class, you will be taxed at a flat rate. You can get tax deductions for charitable contributions. For example, donating items for the auction or performing community service, you could receive a deduction of $100 for each contribution. Under the flat-rate system, you will pay $500 in yearly income tax unless you receive deductions.
