Haakons, known for her book "YOUNG, FUN AND FINALLY FREE," shares practical strategies for individuals gearing up for tax day. Her focus is on enhancing financial literacy and simplifying the tax preparation process.

One consumer tip emphasized is the wise use of tax refunds. A survey by Straight Talk Wireless reveals a tendency among 44% of Americans to invest their tax refund in upgrading their phones.

Additionally, Haakons suggests ways to streamline tax preparation. She highlights the Epson RapidReceipt RR-600W wireless scanner, which significantly reduces the hassle of managing financial documents by integrating seamlessly into financial software and applications without requiring a subscription. This tool can help individuals and businesses alike prepare more efficiently for tax filing.

For those seeking professional help, Haakons points to H&R Block's comprehensive services, which offer a variety of filing options to fit any need, including virtual and in-person assistance. Moreover, she addresses the importance of secure document disposal with services like Shred-it®, which provides security and compliance by ensuring sensitive information is properly destroyed.
