Already planning how to spend your 2024 tax refund? Many Americans look forward to a small windfall during tax season, often using their extra funds to splurge on something fun or catch up on expenses. The ideal way to spend your tax refund is in an investment—something that will gain value as time goes on instead of depreciating as it gets older.
For homeowners in Florida, a home renovation or remodel is a great way to spend your tax refund. You’ll get the satisfaction of living in a home you love, while knowing you made a smart choice that adds to the value of your home. It’s always a good time to invest in your home, but why not make 2024 the year you finally make your renovation dreams come true?
When Can I Expect My Tax Refund in 2024?
When you’ll receive your tax refund depends on when you file your taxes.
This year, the tax deadline is Monday, April 15, 2024. However, you can file anytime between January 23 and April 15.
The IRS does not release a calendar, but most people who file electronically should receive their refund within 21 days. If you mail in your return, it will delay the processing time by quite a bit (several months or more).
Finally, be sure to request your funds via direct deposit for a faster turnaround time. If you want the IRS to mail you a paper check, you can expect to receive it about a week later than you would a direct deposit.
When Should I Begin Planning My Home Upgrades?
As soon as possible. Though you may not have received your tax refund yet, you’ll need to talk with the experts to get an understanding of their availability and possible timelines. You can start with a free consultation from Straight Line Construction to get an idea of what you can do with your budget and begin discussing your ideas.
