$1,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds, An iPad and a Healthy Financial New Year

Tax Day comes around far more quickly than expected year after year. And much like we do during New Years, we are forced to think about our actions and decisions throughout the past year, often making a list of empty resolutions - it’s not until we take that first step that we really commit to healthy change. To celebrate the new financial year, D2D Fund is offering two contests to get tax filers excited about this important first step: the BondsMakeitEasy #WhenIGrowUp contest and the Refund Rush highest score prize.

D2D's newest tax-time saving contest, Refund Rush

D2D Fund’s newest financial entertainment game, Refund Rush, challenges the player (whether tax filer or tax preparer) to make the best decisions about how to split their refunds. Clients in the game often face common challenges to savings, like having outstanding debt items or not having a bank account. This fun, fast-paced game comes with important financial lessons, but the real fun is that the highest scoring player between now and April 15 will win an Apple iPad. To see if you can cut it as a winning tax preparer, click here.

One of Refund Rush’s main lessons is that Savings Bonds are an easy and safe way to save during Tax Time. In order to remind tax filers that Savings Bonds can be the key to their loved ones’ dreams, the Bonds Make it Easy contest encourages families to think about their own dreams. One lucky winner, chosen from submissions of a one-minute or less video of your (or your neighbor’s, or sister’s, or child’s) child discussing his or her dreams for the future, will receive $1,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds. For more on the contest and the Tax Time Savings Bonds Campaign, visit the BondsMakeItEasy site here.

Whether saving for oneself, gifting dreams or managing debt, Tax Time Savings can be the impetus to year-round savings, creating a new way for tax filers to think about their finances. Here's to starting out the financial new year with only wins!
