Yes, Taxes CAN Be Fun: Host a Tax Party

On February 7, thousands of Americans across the country will host their own official tax parties, or as we like to call them, TurboTax You Parties.

We know what you’re thinking: “When I think party, I don’t think taxes.” Well, it’s time for you to redefine “party”. The TurboTax You Party is an easy way to help your friends and family save money by empowering them with the skills to take control of their taxes and finances.

It’s also the perfect time to celebrate everything that has happened in their lives over the past year. Whether they had a baby, got married, donated to charity, started a business, or made a move, your tax party is an opportunity to raise a tax-themed cocktail in honor of 2014!

To join the fun, we’ve compiled our favorite tips if you’re hosting your own DIY tax party soon, including essential supplies, tasty recipes and budget-friendly décor ideas.

Read on to learn how you can host your own tax party, and be sure to share your tax party moments on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the #HappyYouYear hashtag.
