25 Cool Things You Can Buy With Your Tax Refunds

Posted by , Updated on February 9, 2024

Have you filed your taxes yet? We hope so because the official filing season finished on Monday, April 18 (yeah, that was a while ago). Whether you filed your taxes months before the Tax Day or – just like about one third of all US taxpayers – you waited until the very last minute, one thing is for sure – you have quite a good chance of getting a tax refund. Yep, that is right. In 2013, for example, almost eight out of every ten tax returns got a refund. What may also make you happy is the fact that the refunds are usually quite large. The average tax refund in the US is almost 3,000 dollars (depending on the state you file your taxes in), which is definitely an appreciable amount of “extra” money. If you got a tax refund this year and you still haven’t figured out what to spend it, let us help you out with that. A tax refund can actually be enough to pay for some really cool things and you, an honest and conscientious taxpayer, definitely deserve to have some bonus fun and pleasure. So, are you looking for some inspiration as to how to spend that nice lump of cash? Then check out these 25 Cool Things You Can Buy With Your Tax Refunds.
