Prepare Your Taxes Early and Get Your Refund Faster

As the year draws to a close, it’s tempting to focus solely on holiday festivities, but it’s also a great time to start thinking about the upcoming tax season. Preparing your taxes early can relieve a lot of stress and allow you to enter the new year with confidence and financial clarity. 

By getting ahead on your tax preparation, you’ll set yourself up for a quicker refund, and with Sunset Finance’s Tax Advance Loan, you could even get access to part of your refund sooner.

Here’s how preparing your taxes early with the help of our free Taxes-To-Go App can benefit you—and how a tax advance can ease your finances at the beginning of the year.

Why Start Preparing Your Taxes Early?

While the IRS doesn’t begin accepting returns until January, there are numerous benefits to getting a head start on your tax preparation. From reducing financial stress to enjoying peace of mind, preparing your taxes early has its rewards. Here’s why you should consider organizing your tax documents now instead of waiting until the last minute:

1. Reduce Stress After the Holidays

The post-holiday season can often be financially draining, and the last thing you want is the added stress of scrambling to get your taxes in order. By preparing your taxes early, you’ll avoid the pressure of the looming April deadline and can enjoy a more relaxed start to the year. Plus, without the rush, you’re less likely to make errors that could delay your refund.

2. Start the New Year with Financial Confidence

The beginning of the year is often a time for setting goals and making resolutions, and having a clear picture of your financial situation is a huge advantage. Knowing what your tax refund will look like early on allows you to make more informed financial plans for the year ahead. Whether you’re saving for a major purchase, paying down debt, or just building a financial safety net, knowing your refund amount can help you budget more effectively.

3. Access Your Refund Sooner with a Tax Advance Loan

One of the greatest benefits of preparing your taxes early is the potential to access a portion of your tax refund sooner. With a Tax Advance Loan from Sunset Finance, you don’t have to wait for the IRS processing time to get access to your funds. Once the IRS accepts your return, you could receive up to $7,000* of your tax refund within 24 to 48 hours. That means you can tackle any post-holiday expenses or start the new year without financial worry.

How the Sunset Finance Taxes-To-Go App Makes Tax Preparation Easy

Preparing your taxes early doesn’t have to be complicated. With the Sunset Finance Taxes-To-Go App, you can start the tax filing process from the comfort of your home.

Step 3: File Early and Apply for a Tax Advance Loan

After your taxes are prepared, you can apply for a Tax Advance Loan with Sunset Finance. This allows you to get a portion of your tax refund as soon as the IRS accepts your return. Instead of waiting for the usual IRS refund processing times, you can access your refund early to cover any immediate expenses and start the new year with financial security.

Start the New Year with Financial Security

The holiday season often brings additional expenses, which can make the start of the new year feel financially tight. By preparing your taxes early and applying for a Tax Advance Loan, you can begin the new year with a financial cushion rather than stress about paying bills or managing leftover holiday costs. Here are some ways that having access to your refund early can make a difference:

1. Avoid Post-Holiday Financial Strain: The expenses of the holiday season can sometimes leave a dent in your finances. Getting an early tax advance helps you recover more quickly from holiday spending and focus on your new year goals.
2. Budget for the New Year: Use the early portion of your tax refund to cover essential bills or put towards goals such as saving or investing. Having this additional cash flow at the beginning of the year can give you a fresh start with better financial planning.
3. Handle Unexpected Expenses: The new year often brings unexpected costs, whether it’s home repairs, vehicle maintenance, or medical expenses. Having access to part of your refund early with a tax advance can ease the financial impact of these surprises.
