Saving Money When Filing Taxes

This article was originally published in the Standard Journal on February 10, 2015. See it here.

Tax season is in full swing.  As a child I saw it as a time when my accountant dad became a distant memory and my mom got a lot more overwhelmed.  Now I see it as a time to hopefully get a little unexpected money in my pocket (having kids provides a variety of different blessings!).

In this world of e-filing your taxes through websites such as TurboTax or H&R Block, there are ways to maximize your refund.  I’m not talking about extra tax credits or any of that jazz.  I don’t know a thing about tax rules.  That is why I have my dad. 

No, I am talking about using cash back websites to earn up to 20% back on what you spend to e-file your taxes. 

Ebates is one of the many cash back websites that offer you a percentage of your purchase price back when you shop through their links.  It may sound complicated but it is actually very simple.
