Have you filed your taxes yet?

I’m not sure how you’re like this time of year, but if you’re anything like me, you don’t start thinking about filing your tax return until end of March. But I was thinking this week on how one can generate quick cash and a light bulb came up… filing your tax return!

I was talking to one of my client’s last week about all the ways she can come up with some cash quickly. We realized that she typically got a refund with her tax filing and what better way to get that money sooner than later. In my experience, it takes 10 to 14 days for you to get your federal tax refund with online filing and a little bit longer for your state refund.

Of course, if you know you are in a situation that you will be owing taxes this year, there is no benefit of filing it early except perhaps to get it off your mind. Tax time can be a very stressful time of year for a lot of people. Gathering all your tax documents, finding the appropriate tax service provider and making sure everything is filed properly and on time can be a hassle… unless you are like me and just love crunching numbers!

So what are you waiting for, have you done your taxes yet??
