To get an “early” refund, adjust your withholding

Description

Abstract: Taxpayers who received a large tax refund this year may want to adjust their withholding. Each year, millions of taxpayers claim an income tax refund. That can represent a pleasant influx of cash. But it’s probably not the best use of cash for taxpayers. In fact, it’s similar to giving the government an interest-free loan for nearly a year. Fortunately, there’s a way taxpayers can begin collecting their 2024 tax refunds now, by reviewing their withholding and estimated payments, and getting the money in their pockets during the year, instead of in a refund the following year.
