<prompt> Human: Anyone have any pointers on how to be more Tax literate? Im trying to get better with my finances, however I dont really trust someone giving me information when theyre looking to make money. I feel like people in general will tell you anything if theres money involved. With all the information out there, is there any literature that you personally reference to? Something that has a good grasp of taxes. It doesnt have to be anything fancy either. Something as simple as what monies get taxed in which way? I appreciate any pointers!  <response>: If your financial situation is pretty straightforward i.e. you dont have any investments outside 401k and you rent, you should be able to do your own taxes just use your W2 and follow the directions on the tax form.
