Soldiers’ Angels 101: Things I have figured out along the way…

• Keep an eye on cheap printing sites, such as VistaPrint. They are constantly having sales and offer free printing for various products. Better yet, check online coupon hubs, such as RetailMeNot, for coupon codes for heavily discounted items or free shipping!

  If you are looking for higher quality printing, I have been using Overnight Prints. They cost a bit more, but the quality and service I’ve received has been phenomenal. (Plus they sometimes have coupons listed on RetailMeNot!

• If you use Intuit’s TurboTax software or online services to file your taxes, you can use their It’s Deductible to keep track of your out-of-pocket costs for Soldiers’ Angels.

  Granted, I’m not in this for the tax break, but it sure helps when it comes time to buy supplies and postage!

  NOTE: Per TurboTax’s Live Community support forums, donation of time, web services, etc. are not deductible — only out of pocket expenses (keep copies of your receipts!), or donations of physical/tangible items.
