by Leave a Comment

Our talking tech expert, Nyika Allen, President and CEO of New Mexico Tech Council, joined New Mexico Living to explore some of the best tech options to help take the stress out of filing our taxes.

She brought with her two apps to help you this year. The first is from the Internal Revenue Service, which allows you to not only file your federal taxes, but you can track you return, refund and make payments right from the app. The second, from Intuit, is a calculator which allows you to estimate your refund or expected payment.

Both apps are compatible with iOS and android.

In today’s economy, computer science drives innovation yet it remains marginalized throughout K-12 education and data shows that tech is important for our kids.

STEM jobs are the jobs of the future, but there is a discrepancy in being able to obtain a Computer Science degree and the value of that degree. And New Mexico ranks extremely low in this field of study. The nation and New Mexico are working to make changes with the help of companies like code.org, who are working to expand access to Computer Science degrees.
