TaxSlayer Invites Filers to Share How They Will Enjoy Their Refunds with #SlayItSweepstakes for Chance to Win $3,169

AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Getting a tax refund – and deciding how to use it – can be exciting for many Americans. Will they slay debt? Put a down payment on a new house or car? Go on a dream vacation? TaxSlayer, a leading online tax preparation company, is asking filers to show what they plan to do with their refunds for a chance to win even more money in the #SlayItSweepstakes, starting Feb. 18 through April 15. 

"Let's be honest. Getting a refund feels good," said Nicole Lapin, personal finance expert and The New York Times best-selling author. "Whether you decide to save it, pay down debt or spend it on something fun – go ahead, you deserve it."

To enter the #SlayItSweepstakes for a chance to win the average refund of $3,169, here's what filers need to do:

• After you file, post a photo or video showing how you will enjoy your refund on Instagram or Twitter
• Follow TaxSlayer and tag @taxslayerllc on Instagram or @taxslayer on Twitter

A recent survey by TaxSlayer found that four in five Americans (83 percent) say the best part of filing their taxes is knowing they are getting money back soon.  In addition, three in five (61 percent) say they know how they are going to spend their tax refund before they get it.

"It's clear that people are eager to get a refund, and we can't wait to see firsthand all the ways they'll use the money," said Lapin. "You've worked hard all year, and now it's time to slay your taxes and enjoy your refund."
