Today in Life Skills class I had my students do my taxes. I gave them copies of my W2's (with certain bits of info redacted, of course) and the 1040EZ worksheet, and had jolly ranchers ready for the first ones who did it correctly.
One student said, "Isn't this something you PAY people to do for you?" Another said "You know that feeling you get when you're going to the dentist? I'm getting that feeling now, doing your taxes."
Turns out I'm going to be getting a $440 refund.
p.s. Filling out tax forms is part of the standard for personal and family resource management ...

Kudos all the way around. To you for devising the assignment, to them for seeing through it.
Matching it to standards is just frosting.
