Tax season is upon us and discovering the tax refund schedule for the 2025 tax year can be an exciting moment! Tax refunds are a great way to make some extra money that can be used in a variety of ways like paying down debt, creating an emergency fund, building up your savings, or even investing. Knowing when to expect your refund can help you make important decisions regarding your finances and budgeting.
