BYU accounting professor Troy Lewis said he is confident that no matter a person’s background, they are interested in how taxes affect their life. “One thing important to know is this: unlike anything else or any other major on campus, every single person is interested in one tax return — their own.” Properly managing taxes can result in credits and refunds while mismanaging it can result in overpaying and frustration, he said.
