True American Heroes
Tax professionals like you are the unsung heroes for millions of Americans. Every day you put money back into the pockets of millions of taxpayers. Today is your chance to put your knowledge and years of experience to the test and receive a reward for your expertise.

Take the Challenge
Join tax professionals from across America in the 2008 Tax Hero Challenge. How do you become a Tax Hero? The contest is divided into four two-month Contest Periods. At the beginning of each Contest Period, a new client profile will be loaded onto the Tax Hero Challenge website. Prepare a tax return for one or more of our four clients using TaxWorks® professional tax software and calculate the biggest legal refund. Each client has the kind of return a true Tax Hero loves to prepare. To a normal tax preparer, their situations may appear pretty complex. But, to a true Tax Hero, these situations present the opportunity to showcase your expertise and uncover the largest refund possible.

As if the feeling of incredible power from knowing you totally rock as a Tax Hero weren’t enough, the top five Tax Heroes generating the biggest legal refunds for each Contest Period will win an Apple iPod® touch. If you aren’t selected as a top Tax Hero, don’t despair. Entrants will receive a special limited-edition Tax Hero t-shirt (while supplies last). Limit one per person.


Eligibility: Open to legal U.S. residents, who are 18 or older. Employees, officers, directors, shareholders, and agents of RedGear Technologies, Inc. (“Sponsor”), its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, retailers, advertising, promotion, accounting and legal firms (collectively, “Releasees”), and immediate family members (parent, child, sibling, spouse and their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) and those living in the same households as any of the foregoing, whether or not related, are not eligible to enter or win. No purchase is necessary to enter. All applicable federal, state and local laws apply. Void where prohibited.

Contest Periods: Contest begins on 5/1/08 and ends on 12/31/08, and is divided into four two-month periods ("Contest Periods"). There are four possible client returns, one for each Contest Period:

Let the Challenge Begin!
1. Log on to www.taxherochallenge.com to request a Tax Hero Challenge kit and download the current client profile. Request a fully functional copy of TaxWorks® 2007 and detailed instructions from the Register tab. 2. Prepare the client’s tax return using the information in the client profile and the TaxWorks® software. 3. Contact our friendly technical support team at (800) 843-1139 or support@taxworks.com if you have technical questions or need help with the software. 4. Submit your completed tax return to the Tax Hero Challenge team by uploading it through the TaxWorks software. (The earlier you submit your return, the better your chance of winning.) 5. Check the Tax Hero Challenge website often to see if you are a winner and review the whopping refunds found.

Winning the Challenge: Five (5) winners will be selected from all entries submitted by midnight (MDT/MST) of the last day of each Contest Period, based upon those entries which show the highest legal tax refund for the applicable client profile. Winning submissions will be reviewed and audited by Sponsor or a designee of Sponsor to ensure accuracy and compliance with IRS regulations.

Enter as many Contest Periods as you wish; however, only one (1) entry per person per client will be accepted. Entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Potential winner will be notified by phone, email, and/or a traceable method of delivery. Prizes will be delivered by certified mail. Each winner must respond to award notification within seven (7) calendar days after delivery of notice. Each winner will be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility/Liability and, where legal, a publicity release within ten (10) days after the date of issuance. Failure to respond to award notification or return Affidavit of Eligibility/Liability within the specified time, noncompliance with these Official Rules, or the return of the prize notification as undeliverable, will result in prize being forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate winner may be chosen. Odds of winning will vary depending upon the number of eligible entries received during each Contest Period. Each prize will be awarded to the name on the entry of record. Winners will be selected from a variable number of entrants. If winner is at least 18, but still considered a minor in his/her state of residence, Sponsor reserves the right, at its discretion, to award the prize in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian who will be responsible for fulfilling all requirements imposed on winner set forth herein.

If more than one tax professional submits the same winning refund amount, winners will be determined by the order of submission, with the first eligible return received taking precedence, followed chronologically by each subsequent entry affected. Entries will be date- and time-stamped based on the local date and time of the computer receiving the entry.

Prizes: For each Contest Period, Sponsor will award five (5) winners with an Apple iPod® touch. Winners are solely responsible for all expenses, costs or fees associated with acceptance and/or use of the prize as awarded, including, without limitation, any and all federal, state, and local taxes, and any other costs and expenses not specifically stated herein. If the winner cannot accept the prize as stated, prize will be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate winner may be selected based upon the entry with the next highest legal refund. The iPod® touch is subject to certain terms and conditions as specified by the manufacturer. No transfer, cash redemptions or substitutions by winner will be permitted. Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to substitute the prize with one of comparable or greater value. All prize details are at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Total approximate retail value of each prize is $300.

General Conditions: By participating, entrants agree (i) to these Official Rules and decisions of Sponsor, which shall be final and binding in all respects; (ii) if selected as the winner, to the use by Sponsor and its designees of his/her name, city and state of residence, and/or image for advertising, promotional, and other purposes in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, worldwide, in perpetuity, without additional compensation, notification, or permission, unless prohibited by law; and (iii) to release, discharge, and hold harmless Releasees from any liability, claims, or damages arising out of, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, their participation in the contest and the acceptance, use, or misuse of the prize. Releasees are not responsible for computer, network, technical, mechanical, telephonic, printing, typographical, human, or other errors or problems relating to this contest, including, without limitation, errors or problems which may occur in connection with administration of the contest, receipt or processing of entries, announcement of the prizes awarded or in any contest-related materials, or lost, late, delayed, undelivered, misdirected, inaccurate, damaged, or incomplete uploaded file. Releasees are also not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by tampering, hacking or by any equipment or programming associated with or utilized in this contest. If, for any reason, the contest is not capable of running as planned or any other causes corrupt or affect the integrity, fairness, or proper conduct of the contest, Sponsor may at its sole discretion terminate, modify, or suspend the contest and, if terminated, award the prizes from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received prior to such action.

Disqualifications: Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant or entry that tries to circumvent or break contest rules, tamper with the contest or prize giveaway process, or otherwise interfere with the proper functioning of the contest. Late entries, entries received in violation of applicable law, or submitted by entrants whose conduct violates applicable law, are null and void.
