Friday Quickie: Green Your Tax Season – It pays to be green!

If you’re a slacker like me, you haven’t filed your taxes yet.

Make the process a little greener: Try using a program like TurboTax or H&R Block to file your taxes online.  Spare a tree by saving a copy to an external hard drive or flash USB drive.  Or, store the document on a secure place online.

If you really need to print out a copy, utilize recycled paper.

Also, if you’re a homeowner: BONUS! You may qualify for some Energystar energy efficiency-related deductions. It can literally pay to be green!
