<3> Tax Refunds Soar Amid Rising Energy Costs
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently announced that tax refunds are almost 11% higher than the same point last year. However, with the ongoing Iran conflict, soaring gas and energy prices could potentially ‘completely eat up’ these bigger refunds.
What’s driving the price surge?
