Aspiring to become knowledgable about taxes so that I can do them for myself and my family. What are the best resources to learn from scratch?

Hi all,

I hope everybody is well even though this pandemic is putting us all to the test. 

I would like to learn everything I can about taxes to eliminate the great discomfort that I have been feeling when filing my taxes for the past couple of years. I am always afraid to miss something or make a mistake. I always do my best to file everything correctly because I understand I am reinvesting that money in a better society. But my lack of education about the topic leads me to feel physically sick for days. 

 

I thought I might study to become a CPA? Or just gather resources from the Renaissance men and women among you that have learned how to efficiently navigate the US tax system. Can you recommend some resources? Any words of advice?

 

thank you very much!
