There are less than two weeks left for Americans to file their 2021 taxes on time. While nobody loves tax season, taxpayer money is the primary revenue source that helps maintain a functioning government, provides resources to bolster infrastructure, and funds public services.
At Cheddar, we know this can be one of the more stressful times of the year, so we've decided to partner with the tax experts at Jackson Hewitt to answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
