MY THOUGHTS:

Every January I am usually scrambling to get all of our tax documents together and every year I tell myself I am going to get a better system for next year!  I have tried keeping everything together in a envelope but then the envelope gets misplaced and I tear apart our office looking for it.

Everyone should really have a Waterproof Fire-Safe to keep everything together, organized and safe!  First off, its not like you can loose it or misplace it!  Second, water-proof and fire-proof means it should be safe no matter what.   A Sentry Safe is one you can trust and I really can’t imagine now how I lived without it!

I decided to get my Sentry Safe ready for next year by creating a Tax Time Survival Kit!  I included a calculator, pencils, file folders and a notepad.

Not only is a SentrySafe perfect for tax documents but all those other important documents such as birth certificates, house documents, social security cards and more!  I will say this particular model is heavy (about 40 pounds) but for the safety of my contents I’d rather be safe than sorry.  The latch is a key-latch but it is pretty thin and basic – its not really meant to keep a thief out but rather keep out fire and water.  I am not really worried about it getting broken into so I don’t mind the simple key.

Overall, I highly recommend checking out a SentrySafe to protect your documents and keep you organized.  I don’t know what I would do if we had a fire and lost everything.  Also, I found this model to be a perfect size for everything with room to spare of what I wanted to put in it.  We used to have a small lockbox that I stored everything in but it was so small that we outgrew it.  A bigger safe allows you to protect more and keep it organized.

BUY IT:  Look for SentrySafe at your local Walmart or check it out online at SentrySafe.

WIN IT:  (1) US winner will receive a Sentry HD4100 File Fire Safe and a $25 Walmart gift card to create the ultimate tax time survival kit!

    I let my husband handle it. He is hyper-organized in that department. If I even attempted to change the system, I think he might have a heart attack.

  2. Lori says:

    Just use a file folder – so not very safe or organized!

    We have a large safe, but this would be awesome for things we use on a regular basis.

  19. kasey says:

    I’m terrible, I have no actual system…

  20. Tim says:

    I would keep my prior years tax returns in the safe. Your tax return is all a criminal needs to steal your identity. Everything is written on that one piece of paper.

    I keep everything scanned into my computer and organized by excell.

    I actually just have an accordion file for them but that wouldn’t really protect it from fire.
