If you haven’t gotten around to filing your taxes yet, you’ve only got a week left to do so. Visit our TaxACT coupons page to see how you can file your federal return for free!

If you’ve already filed, perhaps you got a nice, juicy refund. Maybe you planned to put that money to good use as soon as you found out how much you’re getting back. But if you’ve got some extra cash sitting in your bank account from it (or are anxiously awaiting it), here are a few ideas to consider.

• Use it to pay down your debts. Too much debt can seriously damage your financial future. If you’ve maxed out your credit cards or taken out one too many loans, consider using at least some of your tax refund to reduce the amount you owe.
• Invest it. It’s never too soon to start thinking about your future. Investing a little now and adding to it when you can will add up to big bucks down the road that you can use for an emergency fund, the kids’ college fund, or retirement.
• Have some fun with it. It’s not every day that the government sends you money, after all! Check out our Orbitz deals page to find a great vacation package at a reduced price. Take advantage of current AMI Clubwear coupon codes and get some stylish duds for a weekend on the town. Or use valuable ABT Electronics coupons to get that new Blu Ray player you’ve been dying for!

For those who get a refund, tax time can be a wonderful time of year. If you plan to spend any of your refund online, be sure to check Coupon Trunk for money-saving sales and coupon codes first!
