Tax season just ended, and for a lot of people that means it’s time to think about what comes next. If you’re planning to take out a loan, tackle debt, or figure out what a big life change means for your finances, this AMA is for you.
Our Hosts:
Courtney Alev: "As a Senior Director of Product Management at Intuit Credit Karma and our Consumer Financial Advocate, I’m responsible for building Credit Karma’s next generation of product features focused on helping members make financial progress. My background in personal finance began at NerdWallet and continued at Mint, where I launched key product features including Mint Premium (Subscription offering), Bill Negotiation, Subscription Cancellation, Card Comparisons and Insights.
Before joining the workforce, I volunteered with the Peace Corps, where I worked with residents in remote communities in Mozambique to increase the economic resilience of residents.
When I’m not working, I enjoy competing in various endurance sports competitions, picking up a new book from the local library, traveling abroad or spending time with my dog Meggie."
Your friendly TurboTax experts: u/TurboTaxOfficial will be helmed by the experts behind the TurboTax Community. These AMA veterans specialize in translating complex tax codes into plain English. They’ll be signing their names on their replies, so ask away!
You can ask us about things like:
- "Does paying off student loans help my credit score, or does it actually hurt it?"
- "I filed and owe money for the first time. How do I make sure that doesn't happen again next year?"
- "I applied for a credit card and got denied. What do I do now?"
- “Can financing a car actually hurt your credit?”
The AMA is live on Mon, 5/4 at 9 am PST, but it’s encouraged to drop your questions in the comments now. Our team will review and answer them promptly when the event begins.
