Tax season began Monday. That's when the IRS officially started accepting tax returns. Many Americans are already counting on refunds. A recent survey conducted by Qualtrics for Intuit Credit Karma found that more than a third of taxpayers rely on their tax refunds to make ends meet.

It is tax season once again. Monday marked the first day people can file their 2024 year taxes with the Internal Revenue Service. While many of us will file in the coming months, early filers are already wondering when they will see a refund check or direct deposit.
