Tax season is approaching fast, and the earlier you do your taxes, the sooner you’ll receive your refund. The average amount of a tax refund is $3,000, but it’s possible to have a more substantial amount come in. Depending on the amount you receive, it's important to use that money wisely. Many people use their refunds for the services provided by the legal document preparation experts at We The People of NY. With 25 years of experience in the preparation of legal documents for purposes such as bankruptcy, name changes, and divorce, We The People will ensure your refund is well spent on the services you need.

Putting your tax refund money into your savings account or a college fund is always a smart idea, but if you’re looking to spend the money, there are numerous paths you can take, such as:

• Starting a Business: This is a highly rewarding decision that can result in future business tax deductions, as well as emotional satisfaction. Whether you want to incorporate your business, start a not-for-profit, or simply trademark something, We The People will help you prepare all the necessary documents.
• Divorce: Divorce can be both complicated and expensive, especially if you go through an attorney. Whether or not you have children, We The People will prepare the necessary documents in order to make your divorce a simple and efficient process.
