NGPF Speaker Series: Join us for a clarifying conversation with Andrew Keshner, personal finance reporter at MarketWatch, whose beat covering consumers, courts, and cash makes him one of the sharpest translators of tax news for regular people. Taxes are among the most requested and most dreaded topics in personal finance classrooms, and they've never been more current: 2026 is the first full year under the sweeping new federal tax law, with fresh IRS adjustments to capital gains rates, changing rules for health savings accounts, and even questions about what IRS staffing changes mean for filing season. Andrew will walk us through what's actually new, what students entering their first jobs need to understand about paychecks and withholding, and how he makes dense IRS rules readable without dumbing them down, a skill every teacher can borrow. With his unusual background spanning the New York Daily News, the legal press, and The Legal Aid Society of NYC, Andrew brings a legal reporter's eye to the rules behind our money. You'll walk away with current, accurate talking points for your taxes unit and strategies for turning the tax code from a snooze into a story.
