Here's How Much You Can Make From Investing Your Tax Return Every Year

According to the IRS, the average tax refund this year has been $2,775, just 0.3% higher than last year's total of $2,767. While many people may use that money to pay down bills or end up spending it, if you can afford to do so, it may be most worthwhile to invest those funds.
