Evelyn Pimplaskar is Credit Karma’s tax editor. With nearly 30 years of experience in media, marketing, public relations and journalism, Evelyn’s written about nearly everything – from newspaper accounts of salacious capital murder trials to whitepapers on what type of exhaust fans hotel guests prefer in their bathrooms. In the last decade of her career, Evelyn developed her passion for writing about personal finance topics, including credit, saving, borrowing and taxes. As Credit Karma’s tax editor she strives to provide her readers with empowering, accurate and easy-to-understand information about the complex U.S. tax code – and hopefully help them avoid making some of the painful tax mistakes she’s made over her taxpaying career. Prior to joining Credit Karma, Evelyn’s diverse career included work as a content marketer, helming a boutique public relations agency, managing a nine-person copy desk for 14 weekly Forbes publications, <a href="https://www.creditkarma.com/credit-cards/i/discover-it-chrome-review">beat</a> reporting for both large and mid-size daily newspapers in New Jersey and freelancing for the Associated Press.
