At Whiteford Tax Defense, we understand how important it is to file your taxes on time and to comply with government regulations. Not everyone is educated on how to file their taxes and the appropriate timelines for doing so.
Younger generations are understanding less and less about taxes. As tax lawyers, we comprehend that this is an alarming trend. Effectively understanding how taxes work helps you manage your finances more accurately and plan for your future.
This is why we are proud to offer the 2025 Taxes for Millennials Scholarship. With this opportunity, we aim to highlight the benefits of understanding how to file taxes and why knowledge of this process should be widespread and taught in school systems across the country.
