The Biggest Mistake People Make With Their Tax Refund

The Biggest Mistake People Make With Their Tax Refund — And How to Avoid it

March 1, 2024 by Vance Cariaga

Tax refunds can be used for any number of practical purposes, like paying down debt or building your savings. But refunds can also be blown on things you don’t really need. The good news is, many Americans make smart choices with their money, and you can, too.

According to a 2024 survey conducted by GOBankingRates, 25% of people plan to put their tax refund in savings this year. About 13% said they would use it to pay bills, while 15% planned to pay off debt.

Planning your taxes is another important step, and many Americans do a good job of that as well. About 73% aimed to file their taxes well before the April 15 deadline. More than 43% planned to file taxes themselves, using a tax software program such as TurboTax.

The Biggest Mistake People Make With Their Tax Refund — And How to Avoid it

March 1, 2024 by Vance Cariaga

Don’t Make This Mistake

These are all positive trends. But even with roughly two-thirds of people planning to use their tax refund for practical purposes, that leaves about one-third who might make the biggest tax refund mistake — blowing it on frivolous or unnecessary things, such as an expensive vacation or new car you don’t really need.

There are much better ways to use your tax refund so that the money works for you instead of against you. For example, putting your refund into a high-yield savings account means the money will grow at a solid and predictable rate while also being protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

One of the best savings options is Milli Bank. Milli is a mobile-only bank owned by FNBO whose savings account pays 4.75% APY as of Feb. 29, 2024, making it one of the highest in the industry. There are no monthly service fees or minimum-balance requirements with the Milli Savings account, and all deposits are insured by the FDIC.

Milli also offers a spending account and a feature called Jars that lets you personalize your savings.

Putting your tax refund into a savings account can help you build wealth for the future. In contrast, blowing your refund on something you don’t need or won’t use could put you in a deeper financial hole.

Look at the Big Picture and Make a Plan of Action

Bureau of Land Management Announcement:

The Bureau of Land Management insures that fair taxpayer return and accountability for oil and gas operations are adhered to on public lands.

The BLM entered their proposal into a final rule. This final rule goes into the Federal Register and cannot be implemented no sooner than 30 days from its publication.

The Final Rule is as follows...

* The Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule.

"This rule reinforces the BLM’s leadership role in energy development by:

1 ensuring responsible leasing and diligent development to minimize conflicts with other resources while ensuring the BLM can continue to manage public lands for multiple uses;

2 implementing key fiscal reforms, including updating royalty rates, rental rates, and minimum bids on BLM-managed public lands; and

3 modernizing bonding requirements for leasing, development, and production to ensure taxpayers do not bear the cost of orphaned wells on public lands."

Ripple Stablecoin Announcement: Ripple is launching a dollar-backed stablecoin.

It is in process of being reviewed through the SEC and CFTC as we speak. This new Stablecoin will have the full backing of the US Treasury and other asset support in the US.

The ability to use this bridge asset in cross border international trading will allow the Stablecoin's representation of the US dollar to be put on a Level Playing Field with other countries in Global Trade. It will allow us to remain in Global Trade without having to sign over our Sovereignty to other nations to do our bidding for us. Coin Telegraph

The conflict in the Middle East is expected to crash the crude oil Market in the Strait of Hormuz.

I like to think of a crash as moving into real values as shifts in our Global Economy are currently taking place especially in the energy sector of our Market.

You can expect volatility in the next 3 to 5 weeks and with the oil markets. The Middle East is beginning to utilize their own currencies instead of the Petro Dollar in Trade making the dollar lower in its value as oil prices rise to their new values based upon new Global Trade relations within local currency support mechanisms.

This shift is taking place as new laws are going into effect in our own oil markets here in the United States. It is why the movement into electronic cars, uranium, and other resources are so important to develop.

The Oil Market is a massive transition point for the Global Economy. These events not only affects the price of the dollar, but it will begin to affect the prices on many of the currencies people hold going forward.

As our markets move into real values these next three to five weeks, we are expecting a shift in Global patterns regarding our virtual assets at the same time.

When we reach June, the US Federal Reserve Board is expected to lower interest rates raising the value of our gold and tokenized assets, along with stablecoins, backed by gold support mechanisms for the new digital economy. CNBC Linkedin Youtube

The 7 Worst Things You Can Do If You Owe the IRS

December 6, 2023 By Jennifer Taylor GoBankingRates

You’re in debt to Uncle Sam. This probably isn’t a great feeling, but you have to face it.

Maybe you have the money to pay your tax bill or perhaps you don’t. If not, you have many options, so don’t take any of the following.

Using a Credit Card To Pay Your Taxes

Charging IRS debt to your credit card might be easy in the short term, but doing so can be a costly choice.

“The IRS interest rate changes quarterly, but it’s hovered around 8% in recent years,” said Brad Paladini, tax attorney and owner of Paladini Law, a tax law firm. “Credit card interest is usually around 22%, meaning that if a taxpayer uses a credit card to pay their taxes, they are paying almost three times as much in interest than if they paid the IRS directly.”

The 7 Worst Things You Can Do If You Owe the IRS

December 6, 2023 By Jennifer Taylor GoBankingRates

You’re in debt to Uncle Sam. This probably isn’t a great feeling, but you have to face it.

Maybe you have the money to pay your tax bill or perhaps you don’t. If not, you have many options, so don’t take any of the following.

Using a Credit Card To Pay Your Taxes

Charging IRS debt to your credit card might be easy in the short term, but doing so can be a costly choice.

Failing To Stay in Compliance With the IRS

“The IRS is usually very willing to arrange a resolution for past-due tax debt, whether it be an installment agreement, an offer in compromise or hardship status,” Paladini said. “But the IRS requires that the taxpayer remain ‘current’ with the taxes.”

Going forward, he said this means you’ll need to file all returns on time and pay all future taxes on time.

“If the taxpayer fails to do so, she’ll default whatever arrangement was made with the IRS,” he said.

Ignoring the Problem Until It’s Too Late

“Taxpayers will know there’s an outstanding tax debt, but will ‘bury their head in the sand’ and ignore it,” Paladini said. “Eventually, the IRS will wipe out their bank accounts or garnish their wages to recoup their money.”

If it comes to this, he said it will be much harder to try and resolve than if you had proactively reached out to the IRS to settle it.

Not Understanding Your Options

If you owe money to the IRS, Paladini said, you have six payment options, including an installment agreement, offer in compromise, currently non-collectible status, penalty abatement, innocent spouse relief and bankruptcy.

“Each of these options has separate requirements,” he said. “Trying to navigate that path on your own can be extremely difficult.”

If you need help navigating what’s best for your unique situation, he said you should reach out to a tax professional.

Thoughts From DJ: "Conspiracy Theories" 4-15-2024

DJ: DID YOU KNOW? Conspiracy Theories

Is the whole enigma of the GCR/RV/Historical Asset Redemption nothing more than a conspiracy theory? If so, to what end is it being spread?

Conspiracy theories can work both ways. It can be a theory of good things to come or a theory of nefarious plotting. At least I get the nefarious plotting concepts. It’s easy to see the end goal of spreading a conspiracy to maneuver people to your way of thinking, whatever that agenda may be. But conspiracy theories of “good things to come” appear to have no agenda other than benefits for all.

Is it to keep the masses dwelling on the hope of a better future in order to distract us from the nefarious activities secretly manipulating our lives? Is there such a thing as a conspiracy theory about a conspiracy theory?

DJ: DID YOU KNOW? Conspiracy Theories

Is the whole enigma of the GCR/RV/Historical Asset Redemption nothing more than a conspiracy theory? If so, to what end is it being spread?

The world hates the truth and all that share it, to the point that if you share truth you will eventually be hated by the world, if you’re not already. The small-minded and insecure of the world will always find somebody to hate. And with some equally dumb reason to hate them.

These are the people who treat confirmation bias as confirmation, rumor as research, and innuendo as proof. They falsely label ideas and behaviors unconnected to reality as a heroic search for truth while vilifying those who actually search for truth.

More information means less ignorance and a greater chance of rational and better decisions and not those based on illusion, hope, preconceived notions or perceptions. I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating. We want to love the idea that people are secretly working together to control and organize the world. It’s a “good” conspiracy theory. Or is it because we don’t like to face the fact that our world runs on a combination of chaos, incompetence and confusion? We would rather accept a conspiracy theory as fact rather than be vilified for seeking the truth.

The GCR/RV has a logical purpose. All you have to do is do the math. It’s not a want, it is a necessity. The structure and efficiency of the current global financial system no longer works. Everyone knows it. The GCR/RV is only one of many mechanisms formulated to fix it.

What those other mechanisms are, who really knows. One can only speculate. But the fact is, it is the natural evolution of the ever growing financial needs of an ever growing world. Seek the truth, disregard conspiracy theories that have no rationale and try listening to people who’s biggest aspirations in life was to make it out of high school after two senior years.
