For many, this is the most wonderful time of the year — tax refund season.
As of Feb. 23, the IRS had already issued nearly $93 billion in refunds, according to the agency. The average tax refund was $3,213 — 4.3 percent above last year.
The deadline to file is April 15. Taxpayers who reside in Maine or Massachusetts have until April 17 because that Monday is a holiday in those states.
