The start of a brand new year – you are probably excited for all the new things to come, you are probably working on your goals for 2014, and you might even be thinking about taxes. Yes, I said it and I hope you didn't forget. Taxes are due in around 3 months.

January 18, 2014 at 8:35 amDue to my investments, I typically owe money. However, this year I am doing much more to maximize my deductions so come April 2015, I am hoping to come out about even!

January 18, 2014 at 10:55 amI am pretty sure I will owe a little bit in taxes this year. I’ve used Free Tax USA for the past couple years and love the user friendly site! It’s so convenient to have my prior year tax return info saved on their site.

January 19, 2014 at 7:12 amThis sounds awesome. I’ve used turbotax for the past few years, so this would save a bunch.

January 19, 2014 at 9:26 amI’ve used an accountant for taxes the last couple of years, but I’d like to start preparing my own now that things have been “simplified”. I have no idea if we’ll owe or receive a refund this year, I’m still waiting on a bunch of tax forms to be available.

January 19, 2014 at 12:03 pmI changed my withholding this year so I think I’ll only get a small refund or at least that’s the scenario I’m hoping for.

January 24, 2014 at 9:33 amNot sure if this giveaway is still open, but I’d love to enter! I end up going through about three tax preparation sites and then trying my husband and I jointly & separately on each. It’s so time consuming and annoying!
