Tax Season

Tax season is upon us yet again; the time of year where people file their taxes & act a fool with that refund check. I get my taxes done for free at the community center and I get a hefty amount back every year. Unlike some people, my refund goes straight to my account because I never know when I'll get in a bind and there's nothing worse than needing money and not having it. It seems like you can get money for just about any & everything: claiming your children, someone else's kid, tithing to your church, student loan interest, etc. What baffles me is the new hustle some parents have going on: They don't do anything for their children all year but when tax season rolls around, they claim their child(ren). I enjoy getting money back on my taxes because I pay so much in taxes that a refund is like a reward. If you get your taxes done just right, you won't owe money or get a refund.
