End-of-tax-season contests galore!

March 30, 2009

Win free stuff
I feel like one of those late-night cable TV pitchmen screaming, "But wait! There's more!"

This morning I shipped off an autographed copy of my book, The Truth About Paying Fewer Taxes, to Byrne in Brooklyn. He was the lucky winner of the latest giveaway here on the ol' blog.

But, as I said, there's more to come.

Two more ways to win: Yes, filing procrastinators, sometimes good things do come to those who wait.

I have an item to help you complete your taxes and another to assist you in organizing the paper that you used to file.

Neatreceipts mobile scanner (2)
First, to help you get all your tax receipts in order and into the digital age, I have a NeatReceipts mobile scanner.

The scanner is a hardware/software combo that offers ways to manage the paper data you convert to electronic form. The one I'm giving away is for PC users, and it's compatible with Intuit money and tax management products. 

TurboTax Online
And speaking of Intuit products, my second end-of-tax-season giveaway is a prepaid card that will give you access to TurboTax Deluxe Online 2008.

Yep, I gave away some of these earlier this filing season. And here's one final chance from Don't Mess With Taxes to get your taxes done and e-filed for free via the Web.

Contest rules: Now here's the deal. Decide which item you want to win. Yes, you've got to make a choice.

Then send me an e-mail to dontmesswithtaxes @ gmail.com with the product you want in the subject line. "TurboTax" or "NeatReceipts" is sufficient.

In the body of your e-mail, include your mailing address. 

I'll collect the entrants for each item and let Random.org once again pick the winners. When that's done, I'll send the winners their product via the U.S. Postal Service's priority mail.

Sorry, but you can only enter one contest. I am still trying to spread the tax-filing wealth around to as many readers as possible.

Also, if you've already won a contest this filing season, you're not eligible to enter either of these giveaways.

So if you've received a previous tax prep software item or a copy of my book, please do not enter now. I will check, but I also would greatly appreciate you not making me do so.

Oh, yeah. I guess you want the contest deadline. I'll be taking e-mail entries for both through Friday, April 3. So please shoot me off a message that arrives in my in-box by 11:59 p.m. Central Daylight Time that day.

Good luck!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
