Giveaway: Five USB Flash Drives With Tax Cut Software

by Flexo on April 11, 2007

in Fun and Contests

Realizing that it’s a little late for sending these out and filing taxes in time for the standard deadline, I’d still like to give these away.

I have five USB Flash Drives with 256MB storage space. You can find these almost anywhere, and they are inexpensive. These flash drives come with Tax Cut Premium Federal + State. With this software, you can complete your 1040 using the Tax Cut’s interview guide, but there is a fee to e-file.

Considering I’ve already completed my taxes, I’d probably just delete the software and use the drive to move documents back and forth between computers.

Perhaps the software will come in handy if you’ve already filed an extension.

Regardless of what you’d like to use the flash drive for, if you want one of the five I’m giving away, leave a comment here, with a valid email address. If response is good, I’ll pick all five winners from this post. If no one is interested, I’ll just use them for myself.

    I was reading your post about ING direct and I think this comment is more suitable for that post but there ain't a giveaway at that post.

    My experience with ING is that they are very legalistic and between ING and CapOne, Cap one gives the benefit of doubt to the consumer. I would like to know other people's opinion as well.

    This is a good website that I try and read often as I can. The only problem is that I do not have enough money to invest in all the proposed ways!!
    Regardless keep up the good work.
  • I'll throw my name in for one of the USB drives.

    Flexo,

    Love the website. I am 22, with a good job right out of college. I am currently saving 25% of my take home pay. Most of my savings goes into a Roth IRA, but I definitely have an emergency fund as well. I would love to have one of those flash drives, but will still keep reading if I'm not chosen.

    Thanks

    Flexo,

    I'm recovering from a divorce and basically starting over from scratch. I've found your posts extremely informative, and in some cases even inspiring. Keep up the good work.

    And yes, I could definitely use a copy of Tax Cut and a flash drive.

    Thanks!

    Definitely interested and appreciative of the opportunity.
  • Thanks for opportunity. I will make it more competitive for others by participating. :)

    Will probably find some innovative use for the products.
  • Steve O.
    My name is Steve and I'm 18 years old. I'm in my freshman year of college and I just love this and a few other select finance blogs. I read this blog daily because I just enjoy the idea of saving money and making wise and sound financial decisions. I don't own any credit yet (part of it is because I don't need it and the other part is because I don't completely trust myself) and I save roughly 40% of my take-home pay, since I don't really need a dime of it anyway outside of a gas bill. I'm majoring in entrepreneurship and I'm just excited about making money. Watching my bank account grow excites the hell out of me. So much so that I gave a speech today in my Public Speaking course about the lack of financial literacy among young adults and how young adults can become educated and learn to make sound financial decisions. I recently started using Quicken to track all my expenses and I've found I need to stop buying shoes and eating out. Those are things I can fix and I hope to grow wiser financially with every passing day.

    Anyway, thanks for such a good/informative blog!

    While I don't think TaxCut is the best software out there, especially since the debacle from last year, I'd take a USB drive.
  • Zen
    Drop my name in the hat, too!

    Speaking of tax software, have you ever evaluated multiple tax preperation programs in the same year, provided the exact same information, and gotten slightly different results? Not with just the basic forms, mind you, but thrown in small business and partnership rules and nobody seems to agree.

    Either #1 the tax code may be interpreted in more than one way, or #2 some nerdy programmer on the TurboTax or Quicken development team is making a little mistake!

    I enjoy your blog, I'd start one of my own but there is already so much PF stuff out there.

    Cheers
  • Sign me up! I need a new USB drive!
  • I have no need for the tax software, but I sure could use a USB flash drive.
  • Bags
    Thanks for being generous with the flash drives and giving your readers a chance to win them. I could definitely use one considering my current flash drive is on the fritz!
  • Jaxim
    Count me in!

    Please put my name into the proverbial hat!

    I'm a gambling man.......count me in!
  • I'm in, thanks!
  • VG
    I would love to get one of these as I still have to file my returns for state (Calif). California gives an automatic extension if no money is owed so I still have a lot of time to file.
  • La de da! Make sure the random drawing pics me me me hehe.

  • I could always do with a flash drive. I'm always losing mine whenever I need them the most, so having a backup defiantely wouldn't hurt.

    Good luck to everyone~ : )
  • James
    I could use a flash drive :P
  • jen
    i want a flash drive.
  • Belandrew
    I'm a computer geek, but I've never bothered to pick up a flash drive for myself. I've yet to justify the cost of one but I can easily justify free.

    I've been reading and lurking for a while, so congratulations for getting me to post a comment.
  • td
    Great site! Would love to have a USB drive.
  • will
    I don't want this flash drive. 256 is way too small. please don't give to me.
  • Conundrum & Bugle Corps
    What a nice thing for you to do. With a wife and three kids using three computers, I could sure use another flash drive.
    But honestly, if someone else actually still needs TaxCut (how would they get it in time to file?), then they deserve it more than I.
  • KC
    My wife could use one of the USB drives!
  • I can use it as a live boot drive. Send one my way. Thanks, Mark

  • Andy
    Your blog is great. Thanks for the flash drives w/ taxcut!
  • I'd like to enter :)
  • Love the site ... one of the first I read every day. While the USB drive won't help with this year's taxes, maybe it will come in handy next year ... Thanks!
  • Hello,

    I currently subscribe to your site, and I love it! I've received so much informative information on here. I would like to throw my name in for the TaxCut Software/USB drive. I filed an extension for my income tax, and it would come in very handy, as I've used TaxCut Software since 2003, and hadn't purchased it yet. I started a Virtual Assistant business in '06, and I procrastinated in getting my information together in time for my income tax.

    Thanks!
  • Free Flash Drive. Cool. I could really use one of those. Please enter me in the sweepstakes.
  • I've been following your blog for a while, it is awesome! Thanks for entering me in the sweepstakes!

    Great idea to back up to a flash drive but realize these drives can also be corrupted. I had a 2 Gig drive that just went bad recently and it was a surprise to me. I now use alternating flash drives so if one goes bad I still have the other to restore from.
  • 2004 I lost my husband and job, talk about starting over. I need as much advise as I can find, though often it is just opinions but I have learned to sort through the static and have found a few gems to keep. This is one site I watch, if only to see if I am getting too far off the path. I could use that flash drive although I've already filed my taxes. Thanks!
  • Virginia
    Hi Flexo:

    Have you given away all your flash drives yet?

    I love your website because it keeps me up-to-date on all the latest savings account rates, although I notice Countrywide still isn't on there.

    Thanks for the site,
    Virginia

  • I would like to win a USB flash. Thanks.
  • Super Granny
    I would love a flashdrive, but cannot believe that it would be free, no free lunches you know, so I guess I will wait and see. Old ladies are very suspicious.LOL
    Thanks for letting me comment.
    Have a great day.
    This is a great site.
  • PackRat

  • Thanks everyone... all the winners have been chosen! We'll have more giveaways soon.
