Yeah, I know, not two concepts that are normally in one sentence. As a nurse, I can’t say my taxes are on the forefront of my mind. Not even during ‘tax time’.

I can vaguely remember learning how to do my own taxes as a high school senior. I even DID my own taxes for a number of years. Then as my work and work-related experience became more complex, coupled with the horribly confusing school, school loans, and differing tax forms I deferred doing my taxes to the professionals. More specifically, I handed it over to those wonderful tax preparation specialist – I won’t name any names, but you only know their names because of the dooms-day April deadline every year.

Since then, every year I simply gather all that is necessary, shovel it over to my professional tax preparing service and…….

….hope for the best.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s not what you would call a very proactive attitude. I for one hate anything and everything that has to do with taxes – even though I’ve been paying them since I was eligible.

So taxes and nurses? Do we nurses have special needs when concerned with qualifying for deductions and maximizing our return?

Heck yeah!

I for one have learned over the past couple years that we as a work force spend A LOT of money for our job. Expenses that go unnoticed. Everything from work-related supplies like scrubs and shoes, to our journal subscriptions  and our memberships to national organizations. Apparently they qualify for a tax deduction.

They are all cost expenses we always forget when divvying up yearly actions. I don’t know about you, but over a year’s time – that money spent can get quite high.

Wouldn’t you like to be reimbursed for all that you spend?

If anything how about making us aware of what qualifies and what doesn’t when it comes to taxes and tax preparation?

Well it seems someone has that very thing.

The first and only online tax preparation service specifically for nurses, TaxReturnsForNurses.com uses a customized approach and recognizes the unique tax needs of these professionals.

New Online Tax Preparation Service – www.TaxReturnsForNurses.com – Fills Need for Customized Tax Return Preparation among Nursing Community

www.TaxReturnsForNurses.com is First and Only Service Designed for Unique Needs of Nurses, Helps Nurses Get the Highest Return they Deserve

Nurses throughout the United States now have the opportunity to file their personal tax return online through www.TaxReturnsForNurses.com. This is the first and only online tax preparation resource developed to meet the unique needs of nurses.  Most tax preparation services use a “one-size-fits-all” approach; however this approach does not always address a nurse’s specific tax issues.

Through a customized approach to tax return preparation, www.TaxReturnsForNurses.com helps nurses get the largest tax refund they are eligible for.   The service considers potential tax deductible expenses associated with nursing, such as mandated dues, continuing education fees and uniform.

Costs will be $14.95 to complete a state tax return and will range from $14.95 – $49.95 for federal filing.

The service management team has significant experience in the tax preparation, and financial and consumer products industries.  www.TaxReturnsForNurses.com utilizes world-class software, featuring a calculation engine supported by CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business, a tax business leader since the inception of the federal income tax in 1913.

I was contacted by a representative for this new service in hopes of passing on the word. It definitely has sparked my interest.

I for one don’t want to abuse or manipulate the tax system, but if I can maximize my deductions and increase my tax return – heck I’m game!

Check it out folks. Tell me what you think?
