While April brings the sweet relief of spring, she also rings in the most dreaded time of year… TAX TIME!

Hopefully you have all your paperwork organized and you’re ready to tackle your taxes efficiently and without too many headaches.

You may recall last month I shared some tips on How To Keep Your Information Safe and Organized for Tax Time.

But even if you’re scrambling to find papers and receipts, give yourself a break and enter to win this awesome “Tax Relief” Prize Pack including a Sentry Safe Digital Fire Safe and a $50 Visa gift card.

Sentry Safe Digital Fire Safe

This awesome Sentry Safe has a loud, audible alarm so it’s the perfect place to store valuables as well as sensitive and critical paperwork. If your safe is being picked up or moved, someone is attempting to pry open the door, or if five wrong code attempts are entered, the alarm goes off to alert you.

I like that it has a multi-positional tray for flexible organization and that it’s been verified by a third party to protect against fire and flood.

Enter to Win

Thanks to Master Lock and Sentry Safe, you have a chance to win this awesome “Tax Relief” Prize Pack.

  16. Thank You for the giveaway…I really hate the ridiculous & unnecessary complexity of our federal & state tax system; itemizing deductions almost guarantees a migraine headache every year !

  19. Usually either my Father who was a tax accountant for a major corp does all of the family members taxes, or my husband who has a college degree in accounting does. Either way, the part I hate most about tax time is dealing with them being all stressed out and cranky while they do them!

    Reply

  34. The part I hate most about taxes, other than paying them of course is gathering all my information together to do them! My husband is self employed and I do our taxes, and fill out a lot of forms!

    Reply

  36. Getting all the papers and receipts together, then going through everything to make sure it’s all there and gone over. It takes forever.

  59. I don’t mind doing my taxes, the only thing that aggravates me is waiting for the needed statements to arrive from banks, etc. Once I’ve got everything, it doesn’t take more than 45 minutes or so to do both federal and state, and that’s with itemizing.

    Reply

  65. It’s not just a long day (or a couple days) of getting things together, but it’s all year long of maintaining records. Running a small company, this falls on me and my wife for now.

    Reply

  196. I just hate the time it takes to do it. I do a short form and it’s pretty easy but time consuming.

    Reply

  201. That feeling of not being sure you’re doing it right. I have read more IRS publications than I care to think about.
