Still Owed a Tax Refund for 2019? Don't Do This, or You'll Have to Wait Months to Get It

Most tax filers are owed a refund when they submit their 1040 form. And for many, that refund is a substantial one. In fact, the average tax refund in 2018 was $2,881. That's a lot of money. And during these turbulent times, you may need that cash to cover the bills or shore up your emergency fund. 

If you're owed a refund and haven't yet filed your taxes to collect it, you need to be smart about how you submit your return. In fact, there's one key thing you want to avoid: filing a paper return, rather than filing electronically. That's because sending in a paper form is likely to leave you waiting for months for your money.
