Tax Season Has Begun!
I just worked a thirteen hour shift as an office manager of a very busy tax service and will be working 77 hours a week for the next few weeks. I am excited yet a bit overwhelmed at this point people are streaming through the doors eager to get an early start this year.
I have a feeling that this season will be one of the busiest and profitable ones for the banks that fund the loans that are offered through many tax services. So many need that money as soon as they can get and they are shrugging the expense away due to necessity.
The economy (I know can we not find something else to talk about) feeling as shaky as it is right now tends to make people nervous and wary. This time of year is one alot of wage earners look forward to all year long. They tend to overspend during the holidays almost banking on their tax returns to pay it all off. I think it might be time for a change in thinking, especially for me. I need to stop thinking of it as a fresh start and start thinking in terms of “What if there were no tax refunds?”.
