What should you do after your refund check comes? Attorney Leslie H. Tayne shares what's best to do with a lump sum.
It’s that time of year again: tax season. After the time consuming process, you anxiously wait for your tax return. Although you may be inclined to go out and spend the money on a weekend vacation or an item you’ve been dying to purchase, take a second to consider some of these options for spending your return.

If you have credit card debt, make a lump sum payment towards the bill. If credit card debt isn’t your problem, consider making an extra (13th) payment on your mortgage to lessen the amount you have left. If you are burdened with student loan debt or a personal loan…

People don't always pay as much attention to tax law changes at the state level. Trust me however, they are a moving target too, just like federal tax law. Yes, we take the federal “adjusted gross income” (AGI) figure to kick off the preparation of our state return, but there can be a lot of state specific adjustments from there to get to the figure we are actually taxed on. These changes can have a big impact on your pocketbook. Some of the Michigan tax-related changes are listed here. The information provided in this column is not financial advice.
