Engadget giveaway: win a Dell Venue 8 7000 courtesy of TurboTax!
Consider this a two-for-one. It's both a giveaway and a reminder to do those taxes. Of course, you don't have to make a trek down to the local accountants lair to get the job done anymore. Online and app-based services like TurboTax mobile help to simplify the traditionally tedious process, even if you're on the road. The app is available to those running iOS 8 or Android 4.1 (or above) and since it's on the cloud, you could start on mobile and finish later on your computer. With it, you can snap a photo of your W-2 and the app will pull in the data leaving you to answer a few simple questions about your life before securely e-filing your return. TurboTax has even provided us with two Dell Venue 8 7000 (7840) tablets so a pair of Engadget readers can file while gazing at its crisp 2,560 x 1,600 display. They'll also be able to use its depth-sensing 8-megapixel camera to capture some nature shots after having knocked out those taxes so quickly. Serenity finally is now!
Winners: congratulations to Christopher H. of Highland, UT. and Devon D. of Saint George, UT.
