Switch to Ally, thank me later.I'm in finance and I still let the gov hold my money until tax time.
Plus I write off a lot of losses on property I own and get child care and other write offs, so even taking withholdings on my W2 i still get like 5k+ back every year. I wait until march or april to file and use the refund to do spring house projects, or pay for summer vacation.
It works for me.I treat it like a savings account I can't cheat on. The bank isn't paying any substantial interest anyway. I have an account with 8k in it and earned about $1 in interest .

You keep that salesman in check?Just traded in my car to get a new whip
Might as well file my taxes and use the refund to pay 4-5 car notes real quick
Nothing like that new car smell![]()
I'm not expecting that much like I did last year. Maybe $800 or so. I don't know if it's worth it to go see my accountant. Dude got me like $2,200 last year but I was doing a lot of gig work before I started full time so he was able to work some magic to bump up my refund.

You’re better off transferring those funds to an acorn account.I'm in finance and I still let the gov hold my money until tax time.

yeah i dont argue with people over their preferences, but anyone thinking they're "winning" because they got a big return is a fukkin idiot. you need to adjust your checks to get a bigger checks and a smaller refundShe can just siphon 1250/month to a savings account directly out of her check and earn a couple percent on it minimum, risk free, rather than letting the feds have it for a year. You are dumb as fukk if you let someone hold 15k for you for months and just give it back without interest. Imagine going every month check to check, fighting off bills/debt more than 1k light of what your cash flow is supposed To be every single monthprobably thinks she’s hustling the feds when she gets that big refund meanwhile they laughing straight to the bank earning off her own money
So yall were advised to file separately? My wife and i have 2 kids. Last year she made between 20 and 30k and i made over 100k. Should she file separately and claim the kids?My husband claims the kids because he makes less than I do so normally he files first and I file in April and pay mine with his refund.
