The WolfBridge Financial blog has been focusing a lot on taxes lately – in case you hadn’t noticed.

We know firsthand how stressful tax season can be, and want to help prepare everyone in the Triangle so that you can focus more on your family and friends, instead of how much money you owe.

Here are a few things we’ve covered so far:

Today we want to help you even more.

As a sports fan, I’ve always been fond of pocket schedules and calendars because you can keep them in your wallet and they don’t make you look like George Costanza (see below).

Introducing the 2012 North Carolina Tax Return Pocket Card

It may not be all that fancy, but we managed to put together a pocket card that has many of the key dates and details you’ll need leading up to April 15, 2012.

So instead of having to dig around on the Internet, or calling the (yikes!) NC Department of Revenue, you can simply download our card and fold it up. Then just place it in your wallet, purse, carry-on, tablet cover or anything else readily accessible and you’re ready to file those pesky taxes.

Have a military veteran of the Persian Gulf War (Operation Iraqi Freedom) or Afghanistan War (Operation Enduring Freedom) in your family?

As a veteran owned business, WolfBridge Financial prides itself on giving back to our military veterans. To showcase that support we thought a giveaway of financial services to military veterans would be a great way for families to show their heroes just how much they mean to them!

1. Pull together your heroes name, military branch, war served and a few words about them.
2. Place the information, along with a way for us to contact you, on the WolfBridge Financial Facebook Page or in the Comment section below this blog post.
3. Each time your heroes entry is “liked” on Facebook, someone comments on your post in the blog, or your post is linked to on Twitter using the Hashtag #WolfbridgeHeroes– you get 1 point. The military veterans with the most points at the end of the contest will receive the following prizes.

**After you nominate someone make sure you tell your friends and family so they can help you win!**

Depending on your filing status and your taxable income, the North Carolina tax rate can range from 6 to 7.75 percent. 1.75 percent may not seem like a big difference but it certainly can be when we are talking about a year’s worth of income!
