As the end of the
year approaches, we once again find ourselves dreading the paper pushing and
number crunching of tax season. But, let’s not forget the excitement that comes
with getting back some of your own hard-earned money in the form of a tax
refund. Saving a portion of your tax refund can be a big step toward meeting
your savings goals, so it’s no surprise that a 2015
tax season survey found that a majority of those who receive a refund planned
to save it.
This tax season,
reward yourself for saving some of your refund by entering for a chance to win $25,000
through SaveYourRefund. SaveYourRefund
has 101 cash prizes, including 100 weekly prizes of $100 and one grand prize of
$25,000. Making smart financial decisions isn’t always easy, but splitting your
refund couldn’t be simpler. Follow these quick and easy steps to enter to win
in 2016:
