Need Money Right Now? These Moves Will Get You Your Tax Refund Sooner
With COVID-19 wrecking the economy and forcing millions of Americans out of their jobs, many workers are now scrambling to file for unemployment benefits, take out loans, or do whatever they can to ensure that they're able to pay for essential expenses in the coming weeks and months. But you may have another source of cash coming your way that can help in this regard: your tax refund.
Each year, the majority of taxpayers who file a return wind up getting some amount of money back from the IRS. If you're in that boat, the sooner you file your taxes, the sooner you'll get paid. That said, there are a few moves you can make to increase your chances of getting your refund without delay.
Taxes are due on April 15 each year, though that deadline gets pushed back by a day or two some years when it falls during a weekend. This year's tax deadline was supposed to be April 15, but due to the COVID-19 crisis, it was recently pushed back to July 15.
