Hi, my name is Aki Stepinska, a tax regulation simplifier. I love simplifying and clarifying complex tax information into accessible content. I have a BA in Economics and I am an IRS Enrolled Agent. I have worked at large tax preparation companies as Master Tax Advisor and Tax Expert.
Additionally, as an AARP Tax-Aid volunteer, I prepare tax returns for seniors. As a Ladder Up Tax Preparer & Quality Reviewer volunteer, I prepare tax returns for people in disadvantaged communities. Both programs offer free tax assistance under the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
I like writing and helping taxpayers understand the overcomplicated IRS code. That is why I created this website to share tax information and create useful financial infographics.
