Liberty Tax will again double tax refunds for winners in its second season of “My Tax Refund Story.” This national promotion is now officially underway, and will run through April 16, 2012. The company is conducting a national search for the most compelling stories and experiences from taxpayers receiving refunds this year, and how they would use the extra cash. Those entering can simply type in details of their story at http://www.myrefundstory.com. Entrants may also capture their testimonials on video, and upload them to the site. All the contest details are posted there as well.

From the entries, Liberty Tax will choose six contestants and double their federal tax refunds. During special guest appearances, Miss Liberty Tax, Brittney Wojtaszek will award the checks to the winners during the local filming of each check presentation.
