That refund can be a life-changing event that fuels financial freedom: paying down debt, building savings, and investing and securing retirement. Added changes to the tax code, like stimulus payment reconciliation, expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit next year, and unemployment tax breaks mean there are new opportunities for taxpayers to get the most out of their refund. It\u2019s critical for taxpayers to claim every credit and deduction and for them to get back every dollar they deserve and are entitled to in their tax refund. Ensuring a return is correct has even bigger stakes moving forward as they are used to determine eligibility for benefit payments like stimulus checks and Child Tax Credit\u00a0 payments. Unfortunately, at a time when taxpayers have a lot of questions, the IRS National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins indicates that taxpayers have a less than 10 percent chance of reaching a live person if they call the IRS for help. In addition, the pandemic has closed many IRS taxpayer assistance centers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intuit has hired thousands of seasonal Tax Experts in communities across the country who are equipped to answer millions of taxpayers\u2019 questions.
