[bell ringing]

All right class, listen up.

Now, I know many of you have gotten your first job this year,

<i> which means many of you</i>

<i> will be paying taxes for the first time.</i>

And since tax day is just around the corner,

the district has<i> organized a special guest speaker</i>

to come and speak to you all.

Aaron.

Is this going to be on the test?

Man:<i> The test of life.</i>

[electric guitar]

Everyone please give your undivided attention

to today's guest.

[weak applause]

[dance music]

Oh, yeah, it's April 15th, you know what to do.

<i> What.</i>

[rapping]: Yo, I'm Tax Man Jeffy and I'm here to say

That you should go and pay your taxes today.

Just sit tight, I'll tell you what to do,

Now meet my friends, the W-2.

Now these little booklets that you see,

They're what we call 1040-EZ.

Don't you worry, you'll be just fine.

Just go and get your W-9.

1040-EZ?

What's with all the numbers?

Yeah, what's a W-9?

[rapping]: Wait, what's a W-9, you say?

Well it's just a record of what you got paid.

Did you pay interest on a student loan?

<i> That's line 33,</i> you're almost home.

Dalton:<i> Did I</i> pay interest?

We're in high school.

None of us have student loans.

Well, not none of us.

Are they doing the grapevine?

James:<i> I don't know,</i> but I like it.

[rapping]: Taxes are fun, but always be cautious.

Come on kids, write off your home office.

Tori:<i> Now break out form</i> 8829

to save some money and have a good time.

Now take the total square footage of your house.

Throw that down on line two and be quiet as a mouse.

Shh.

Find the square footage of a room in which you work.

Put it down on line one but please<i> don't shirk.</i>

<i> Take line one and divide by line two.</i>

<i> That's your business percentage.</i>

Your mind goes boom.

Awesome.

It's like if the people who did Schoolhouse Rock

taught me a practical life skill.

And got us back the money that the government took from us.

Taxation is theft.

[rapping]: Hey, great job, now we're having fun,

but there's just a few things before we're<i> almost done.</i>

Are there any more taxes that you have to pay?

Well,<i> that depends.</i>

<i> Got</i> a 1099K?

More numbers.

All: Yeah!

Some people think the IRS is dumb,

<i> and like to undereport</i> their income.

1099K's break their tax fable

and makes them report what's under the table.

Cool.

Hey, it's not that cool, okay.

[rapping]: But the number one tax disparity

<i> is overreporting your charity.</i>

Now Mr. Tony, I've got to wonder,

what do you do with the money you launder?

What?

[rapping]: I said what do you do with the money you launder?

I don't know what you're talking about.

[rapping]: Perhaps I stuttered, but that's okay.

Are your Social's last four 5-6-1-8?

Yes.

How did you know that?

[no longer rapping] You're under arrest for tax evasion.

What?

Hold on!

What?

<i> Wait!</i>

<i> Whoa, whoa, wait!</i>

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

How did you know?

You're a teacher.

There's no way you earned more than 30,000 dollars.

<i> I mean, 18 I would have believed, but--</i>

Take him away boys.

I'm sorry you all had to see that.

Hey kid.

Stay in school.

Yo, I'm Tax Man Jeffy and I'm here to say,

that you should subscribe to Studio C today.

Like, comment, share with your friend.

And pretty soon this rap's going to end.

But not right now, it's going to keep going,

because all these words from my mind are flowing.
