Could You Use an Extra $2,779 Right Now? Here's How You May Be Able to Get It
With the COVID-19 crisis occupying so much of the news, it's easy to let a matter like taxes fall by the wayside, especially since the IRS pushed back the filing deadline for 2019 returns to July 15, 2020. That means you have close to two months to deal with your tax return, and if you're grappling with unemployment, reduced working hours, or the balancing act of working while caring for children, you may be grateful for that delay.
On the other hand, if you're in a tough spot financially right now and could use extra money, filing your taxes as quickly as possible makes a lot more sense if you think you're due a refund. So far, the average refund this year is $2,779, up $50 from 2019. If you normally get a refund from the IRS, it pays to get moving on your taxes -- especially if you're desperate to get your hands on extra cash.
