My first “grown up” refund was around five hundred dollars. I can’t recall the exact amount, but I know it covered half the cost of a Caribbean cruise with the fiance (then girlfriend). There’s nothing like driving a quad through the back streets of Aruba and finding a dive that serves the tastiest fish tacos this side of the northern hemisphere.
I traded two Busch Gardens tickets and the use of a 30% discount pass to have my taxes prepared back then. I probably overpaid, but it was worth all the beautiful and vivid memories. However, had I known the IRS was active on social media I might’ve been able to find useful information that could’ve got a few more bucks and maybe a fish taco for the road.
Connecting with the IRS has never been easier. They frequently post tax tips on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. Their YouTube channel, IRSvideos, provides short videos covering a variety of topics that can be viewed in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language. They’re only sharing public information, and do not answer personal tax or account questions, so there’s no issue of your privacy being invaded.
If you do have individual questions about your tax or accounting needs, we’re happy to answer any and everything you could possible ask about your personal or business finances. Strive Accounting Tax Solutions specializes in serving insurance agents, real estate agents, and CrossFit affiliate owners, but we have clients from all walks of life.
