Answer: Taxes
Clues: “Prepare” and “File”
Research looked at how tax filing and tax refunds are set to look this year, compared to last year.
This year, 39% said they plan to file their taxes early, while another 58% plan to file just on time for April 15.
Those filing early this year shared the same motivations for doing so as last year: getting their refund earlier and not having to deal with it when there’s pressure.
Those using their refunds for necessities plan to put their money towards groceries and essential goods, paying for necessary bills like rent and utilities, paying down credit card debt, savings, leaving it in their checking account or home repair costs.
