Getting a refund every tax season can feel like a big windfall. But if your refund is over $1,000, that’s a sign that you may be overpaying the Internal Revenue Service.
Many of us count on our tax refunds to pay down debt, fund emergency savings or to make ends meet. If you’ve been living paycheck-to-paycheck, you might find that spreading that refund out over the year to boost your paychecks may be more helpful. As an accountant and accredited financial counselor, it’s a problem my clients face far too often. They don’t want to risk not paying enough and potentially owing a tax bill, but they’d also like to get more back in their paychecks.
