Tax Returns are always a fun surprise. While you’re just getting back money that you earned in the previous year, it’s still nice to finally see it in your bank account. If you’re feeling that tax return burning a hole in your pocket, we have some ideas for how to make the most out of it. Wondering how you’re going to spend your tax return? Try out some of these fun ideas!

Take a trip with it
One of the most fulfilling ways to spend your tax return is to put it towards travel. Taking a trip with your return money is a great way to finance your own “spring break”. Check out some of the Expedia coupons from Ebates for discounts and travel packages for a good deal.

entertainment

Invest in a new entertainment system
If you’re in the market for a new entertainment system, having your tax return is a great opportunity to do it. Isn’t it time you finally got that new television and speaker set-up you’ve been wanting? Or if you have a television you like, an Apple TV or a Google Chromecast is a great way to expand your entertainment options.

Tips on Filing Taxes

filingtaxestips

It’s that time of year again, the time to file your taxes. Whether you’re a veteran expert, a loophole whiz, or a first time filer, we can all use a little refresher on the best ways to maximize our returns and minimize our liabilities. It might not be the most fun thing in the world, but filing your taxes doesn’t need to be a total drag. We’ve got you covered with tips for filing your taxes this year as well as where to get Cash Back while doing so.

taxstress1

1. Don’t put it off until the last minute.
While taxpayers don’t need to file their 2014 taxes until April 15, 2015, it’s never a good idea to wait until the final days to do it. Aside from running the risk of penalties, you might not leave yourself enough time to look into all of your possible deductions and credits thoroughly. And if you’re eligible for a tax return, who wants to wait for that check? Once you’ve finished filling your taxes, it’ll be a huge relief, and you can look forward to spending those returns on Amazon using Ebates cash back and coupons!

2. Hunt for deductions.
Filing your taxes might seem exhausting, but hunting for the deductions you’re eligible to receive can be fun in its own way. Things like moving more than 50 miles for a new job, donating clothes and household items to charity, or even job hunting can help you save money on your taxes, so it’s worth tracking your expenses and holding onto those receipts.

3. Determine whether to file jointly or separately.
While the vast majority of married couples chose to file their taxes jointly to save time, it’s not always the best strategy to maximize your savings. Try calculating your taxes both ways to determine which will be more financially advisable. It might take more time, but the savings are totally worth the extra elbow grease.

turbotax

4. Use TurboTax.
Around four out of five taxpayers file their taxes electronically, and have done so for the past three years. One of the most common ways they’re doing it? TurboTax. The super user-friendly tax filing service is clear, efficient with your time, and directs you to potential deductions.

5. Use TurboTax coupons & coupon codes.
While the basic TurboTax service is free of charge, additional features and premium services are charged accordingly. But fear not, TurboTax coupons and coupon codes from Ebates can give you substantial savings on your filing fees, so you don’t have to cut into your return before it even arrives.

Filing your taxes might take a while to wrap up, but you’ll feel great once it’s done!

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her Under $50

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her Under $50

vdaygiftsforherunder50

There are no rules when it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts. As long as there is thought and consideration put into the gift (and you REALLY think she’ll love it), why not divert from the traditional “romantic” territory? Our list of gifts for her under $50 includes the standard cashmere, silk, jewelry, and fragrance to make her feel beautiful but also a couple of handy items for the practical gal in your life.

1. Van Gogh Print Silk Scarf (Rakuten) | $42.95
Silk is a Valentine’s Day gift staple and this piece is perfect for the high art lover. Its print recreates the famous “Café Terrace at Night” painting by Vincent Van Gogh.

6. Cashmere Gloves (Athleta) | $41.99
Like we said, you can’t go wrong with cashmere, especially in this blustery weather.

7. Laura Mercier Honey Bath Gel (Sephora) | $45
If her idea of winding down after a long day includes a luxurious bath, lay out her robe, light the candles, and leave this delicious-smelling bath gel by the tub. She’ll thank you when she climbs down from Cloud 9.

8. Cutie Pleated Dress (Yoox.com) | $45
OK so we know buying clothes for anyone is a little scary. But take a look at your girl’s closet and we bet you can find a dress for date night she would love, like this lovely piece in cobalt.

9. ‘My Love’ Comic Book Cover Wall Art (Art.com) | $41.99
Help her liven her living space with some quirky yet romantic wall art.

10. instaCHARGE Portable Charger (HSN) | $49.95
If she’s a technofile who finds herself in constant need or a charge-up, this is literally perfect. The instaCHARGE will allow her to charge her phone or tablet on the go so she can continue taking over the world, just like she took over your heart. Aww.
