1. One Thing I Learned
I learned a lot about tax returns. I learned the different forms that come with a 1040. I also learned what client provided forms matter on a tax return and what forms they include, but have nothing to do with taxes.
2. One Thing I Didn’t Know Before This Internship
I did not know how much could be included on one tax return. IO though they were all pretty basic, but some returns are very complex. I also learned how complex estate returns are.
3. A Challenge I Faced
I faced a major challenge at the start of my internship. That challange was getting familuar with the program they used. I had to enter new clients previous years tax returns and I did not know where to find some items. I asked for help when stuck for a while and eventually got the hang of it.
4. One Fun Fact From My Experience
One fun fact about this experience is even though tax can be stressful they can also be a lot of fun. I truly enjoyed interning for this company.
5. Advice for Future Interns
Advice for future interns is to enjoy the experience. It is important to learn from the internship, but it is hard to do so if you are not enjoying it. Go in every day expecting to learn something new.
