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.
Here is more information about all my writing experience. If you want to learn more about me besides this very formal section, visit my About Me page. ♥
