A tax refund is a great opportunity to strengthen your financial future rather than splurge on non-essentials. Use it wisely by building an emergency fund, paying off high-interest debt, and improving your overall financial stability. Making smart choices now can help you save more, reduce financial stress, and achieve long-term security.
The Social Security Fairness Act of 2025 restores benefits to retirees affected by WEP and GPO, providing many with retroactive Social Security payments. However, these lump-sum payments can significantly impact taxable income, potentially pushing recipients into a higher tax bracket. Understanding the tax implications and exploring strategies like the IRS lump-sum election can help retirees minimize their tax burden.
