HR Block Doesn’t Just Save You Cash, They’ll Even Give You Some

Tax preparation firms aren’t known for giving their own money away, but that’s what H&R Block is doing with Toss Out Your Bills, a contest where entrants can win up to $10,000 toward everyday expenses.

In tangent with that campaign is the Super Sweet Refund contest, where users can send in videos in the hopes of winning $5,000. One video features a girl prepping herself for plastic surgery and another features a boy who collects paper clips. Other entries are also really strange – and here we were, thinking everybody uses their super sweet refunds to pay off credit card debt. Maybe this year we’ll use our refund to have a tail surgically implanted. We always thought we’d look nice with a tail.
