It's Tax Day! Could Evernote Help You Prepare Next Year?

It's no secret - I'm a big fan of Evernote. There are many reasons for my passion about this web-based (cloud) technology, but just a couple include assisting with personal and professional organization as well as providing a mobile tool to serve as a repository for multiple types of media and artifacts. 


One very clever way to consider using Evernote is for tax preparation. In fact, HR Block recommends the use of Evernote to their clients and has added it to their interview process. This video provides the details and recommendation to their clients:

The Evernote blog provides more information about this partnership, including HR Block's offer for a 20% discount of tax preparation for Evernote users!

Good luck with your taxes - and hopefully you are receiving a refund!
