I remember a time I use to get super excited I was getting a tax refund. I was fresh out of college with no business of my own and a manager for a clothing store.

For the last two weeks on Twitter, I have seen several W2 meme’s and people discussing what they will do once all their papers come in.

I wanted to share with my fellow business owners how they could maximize their tax refunds no matter the amount received.

She mentioned how overwhelmed she was by taxes and what she needed to do.
