Fast Facts
People who owe taxes favor online tax preparation and filing. In 2020, over 90 percent of Americans filed taxes online, growth on track to increase 10 percent over the previous year1.
In 2020 most Americans received a tax refund in excess of $2,5002. Unlike previous years, Americans shared that most planned to save or spend refunds on everyday expenses3, reflecting altered habits likely due to the pandemic economy.
Singular, large purchases such as a home improvement or vacation still account for 9-10 percent of refund spending4. This smaller, yet still significant number suggests brands must work harder to identify these people.
