I STILL haven’t gotten around to testing the waters to see roughly how much my tax refund (or perhaps tax owing, now that I started a blog!) is for 2010.
Last week, youngandthrifty.ca was giving away an H&R Block at Home Premium Edition (worth $34.95USD) for the neighbours south of the border. I think the only person who signed up was Helly from Heckled Trio. So congratulations Helly! I’ll send you over the codes for your tax filing enjoyment 
This week, CANADIANS can rejoice as H&R Block from Canada approached me to see if I was interested in giving away Canadian versions of the H&R Block Do-It-Yourself Tax Software (a $34.99 CAD value).
H&R Block Do-It-Yourself Tax Software Giveaway
Here is the “411″ so to speak, on the the Do It Yourself Tax software:
Netfile Certified- It allows the user to do up to 16 tax returns on it(you can do it for your whole family.. and friends! You’ll be the most popular guy or girl on the block- guaranteed lol)
- includes free Audit Assistance (a $75 value)- basically this means that God forbid if you ever get audited by the Canada Revenue Agency, you just need to bring your documents etc. to the local H&R Block and their tax professionals will deal with it for you (which saves you from the auditing nightmare)
- and also includes Canadian Tax Tips for Dummies (I think it’s a PDF version of it, not the hard copy)
- It carries forward for you (saves you time next year)
- Prepares anything from rental income to investment income etc.
- You can choose to print it or do Netfile (I’m print it myself, my accountant in the past said if you use Netfile, you get audited more often)
By now, you should have received all your T4′s so you can get ready for tax season! Who else is as excited as me?

Now onto some PF Blog Love:

- Money Smarts Blog does an interview with Derek Foster for his new book The Idiot Millionaire
- Yes I am Cheap does her monthly check up on her debt and finances
- Eemusings shares her confessions (and I have the same thoughts with more than one of them: name changes and preplanning meals)
- Sustainable Personal Finances gives another great moneysaving/ecofriendly tip to use a crock pot to cook (I am so in love with my crock pot!! Chili, pulled pork sandwiches, beef short ribs yum yum)
- The Financial Blogger has an updated list of TSX Dividend yields and ex-dividend dates (great to use to load up on your CDN dividend stocks. I’ll be sharing my list of what I bought for my TFSA this year soon)
- Echo from Boomer and Echo asks where you get your financial information (and blogs and the internet is high on the list, much to Investors Group’s chagrin)
- Dividend Ninja interviews Dan Bortolotti (for those of you who don’t know, he’s THE Canadian Couch Potato!)
- Budgeting in the Fun Stuff has a guest post from Squirrelers with 10 Tips to Reduce your Health care Expenses. Crystal also shares her blogging income updates for you voyeurs out there- last month she made $1000 on her blog! (and I thought I was doing good lol)

And here’s my regular entry. Maybe nobody entered the last contest because you are Canadian so you have mostly Canadian readers.
@Bekki- I think youngandthrifty.ca’s audience is equally Canadian and US
But I think a lot of other PF bloggers were offering the H&R Block giveaway in the US too. perhaps that’s why. Good luck!
