Filing Taxes Yourself This Year?
Are you filing your taxes yourself this year?
I have always prepared my own taxes each year. I have used TurboTax every single year.
This software has been extremely helpful and straightforward to use.
I have considered using TurboTax's competitor, TaxCut (by H&R Block), but I always back out because TurboTax is designed to automatically transfer all of last year's information over to this year's return.
(I wonder if TaxCut can auto transfer a return put together using TurboTax?)
If you have a very simple tax return and plan on using 1040EZ, TurboTax provides their software and one federal tax filing for FREE!
Otherwise, there is a cost for the software, but it is reasonably priced for such a good software package.
I've never had a problem with a filing I have made with TurboTax.
I am sure it is the same for TaxCut software, but I have not used the product.
By the way, I usually look at the Staples or Office Depot sales ads this time of year before purchasing my TurboTax software. Usually, they will have a special – something like "Buy TurboTax and get a $10 gift card" deal. I like that! Last year, I ended up buying my software from Best Buy, and it came with a free wireless mouse. It is a great mouse! It was backordered and took over two months to get it, but they did ship it to me!

2008 is THE YEAR to get your finances in order!
BOOK RELEASE!!!
I am FIRED UP to announce that today, January 20th, my first book, I Was Broke. Now I'm Not., is officially released!
In this book, I share how my family stopped being broke and won with money. While telling my family's story, I teach the actual tools that we used and still use to this day!
More than anything else, this is a book of HOPE. I know that you CAN do this! I know that you CAN win with money! I know that you do not have to be a straight-A student to win with money (that's really good news for me!).
You CAN break free of financial bondage and win with money. This book was written to show you HOW to do so in a PRACTICAL way!
If you are looking for theory or philosophy, this is the wrong book. If you are looking for immediate help to take your finances to the next level, this is the right book!
You can PURCHASE YOUR COPY HERE!
To all who are on this crusade with me, thank you for being a part of it! This book is yet another tool we can use to accomplish my life's passion – that is to enable others to accomplish far more than they ever thought possible with their personal finances. Why is that my life's passion? Because when people are financially-free, they are freed up to go do EXACTLY what they have been put on this earth to do!!!

That, my friends, is what it is all about. People doing what they were made to do!
