I filed my taxes online with the same company I have used for a few years. When I finished I was also given the option to add a button to my Facebook or Twitter pages stating that I had used this company’s services to file my taxes.
To me, this also made it seem as though this was an open invitation for people to rob me.
If someone has enough of you information and also knows who you filed your taxes with, this also gives an identity thief more information to help people gain access to your personal information.
Needless to say, I passed on the opportunity to post the information. Even though I am more than pleased with the company, I would rather let those looking for a tax professional know via word of mouth.

Hello,
My name is Marc Brown. I am a financial writer as well as a skilled coupon clipper, a Dad, and the frugal gatekeeper of my household. I am trying to build up my portfolio and would love to post as a guest on your site. Frugality, debt, budgeting, personal finance, and managing the household have always come naturally to me and it’s something I really enjoy writing about. I would be glad to come up with something unique and interesting to contribute to your blog or write about any ideas you may have for a guest post.
Should you publish my post, I’ll be happy with a simple attribution with my name and the site I co-author. Let me know what you think and what topics you are looking for that you haven’t already covered or I can just come up with something unique that hasn’t been done yet.
I look forward to hear from you.
Thanks so much!
Marc Brown
