Every year in April, there comes a day that nobody is particularly looking forward to… We’re talking about Tax Day! On or around April 15, the IRS imposes a deadline to file taxes from the previous calendar year. While filing your taxes can be tedious and usually feels like a hassle, there is one silver lining tucked away in this humdrum task: Soon enough, your tax refund will be on the way!
