Office Depot your complete destination for tax suppliesPress releases have been coming my way, complaining about President Obama’s latest instructions to IRS to step up enforcement against tax cheats. Earlier this year, IRS announced they’d be making random visits to tax professionals to keep them in line. In fact, a friend of mine is already getting a visit. What are the two key things that can keep you out of trouble in these times?

Hint – Office Depot and H & R Block can help you with both key things.

1) Actually filing your tax returns.

2) Having good records.

Office Depot

TaxMama® teamed up with Office Depot and the H & R Block software division to help you with both those issues.

It’s obvious why I teamed up with Office Depot. You know Office Depot has everything you need to help you keep records for your business – whether you’re still working with pen and paper, or prefer software. It’s a one-stop shop for all your tax and business supplies.

Not only does Office Depot have all the supplies you need, they even have shredders to help you make space for the new stacks of records you’re bringing in. Though before you shred, get a scanner to save the important records – then cut down on your mounting piles of files. Don’t you just love their prices?

The great thing about Office Depot is that they are everywhere – and open late. Thank goodness they are! At least for me.

TaxMama's HP 9110

During the LAST WEEK of tax season 2008, my printer died. There were are, at 7:00 pm frantically trying to finish up the last rush of tax returns – and we can’t print. I ran out to Office Depot and buy an HP 9110 all-in-one printer/copier/fax/scanner. It cost us about $200 or so. And we were back in operation within about an hour! Office Depot saved tax season 2008!

H & R Block

Why did I team up with H & R Block? Believe it or not, this year’s version of the H & R Block software is so helpful and useful, I couldn’t help being impressed with it during my annual journalist demo session. You’re going to like the nifty new look and feel. It’s much easier to use than ever before. There are many benefits for you, including some amazing audit support. I’ll tell you more about that in the next couple of days.
