Banking basics.
Students build an understanding of how financial institutions work, how to use them, the different products they offer, and how to manage their own account portfolio.
Employment & Taxes
Students explore how employment decisions affect their earning potential and income over their lifetime. Students also develop an understanding of taxes and deductions.
In most markets, this lesson also includes interactive Intuit TurboTax simulations.
Budgeting
By reflecting on their budgeting personality, students develop a tactical strategy for setting financial goals and simulate managing monthly finances.
Consumer Skills
Through navigating the purchase processes for everyday purchases like a car and house, students learn the essentials of becoming an informed consumer and enrich their personal financial literacy.
Managing Credit and Debt
Students develop an understanding of credit, how a credit score is calculated, and the impact of that score on the features and fees associated with credit cards.
Financing Higher Education
Students identify potential financial stressors and create a blueprint for actions they can take to better prepare them for financing higher education.
TurboTax Simulations for High School Students.
Taxes often feel complicated! That’s why Intuit for Education and EVERFI are helping students feel more prepared. The TurboTax Simulations exist within the EVERFI: Financial Literacy digital course, in most markets, and are dedicated to providing high school students with the skills and knowledge they need to file taxes.
