CBL Offers Financial Relief for Tax-Related Data Recovery Services

As the April 15 deadline to prepare and e-file 2008 tax returns approaches, CBL Data Recovery Technologies, Inc. advises Americans to backup their computers. For individuals who use tax preparation software and incur a data loss disaster as the tax deadline looms, CBL will extend a 50 percent discount off the cost to recover tax-related data until April 15, 2009.

Technicians will expedite ‘tax’ projects through one of CBL’s four secure facilities nationwide and return to customers successfully recovered tax data and files created by popular tax preparation software packages including CompleteTax, OLT Online Taxes, TaxACT, TaxBrain, TaxCut, TaxEngine, TaxSlayer, and TurboTax.

“At tax time, Americans don’t need the added stress of not being able to access their financial data and files,” says Tim Margeson, General Manager, CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. “CBL will provide a free evaluation of customers’ hard drives and promptly process tax-related jobs. Customers can also choose to receive their recovered data via a secure FTP transmission.”

Margeson also reminds professionals who prepare tax returns and maintain sensitive personal and financial records: “Wipe a hard drive clean of any and all sensitive data before the computer is discarded. Confidential records such as financial files can be recovered by individuals with less than honorable intentions if a computer ends up in the wrong hands. Simply deleting a file does not erase it from the drive. It’s advisable to use a utility like CBL Data Shredder to wipe a drive clean of all data thereby reducing the risk of identity theft, too.”

Recovery cases received by April 15, 2009 are eligible to receive a 50 percent discount off CBL’s standard fees to recover tax-related data.
