How to Deposit and Save Your Tax Refund
Nos encanta apoyar su bienestar financiero y ayudarle a que ahorre dinero. Si va a recibir un reembolso esta temporada de impuestos, o cualquier crédito impositivo de todo el año, estas son algunas ideas para que lo aproveche al máximo.
-
ELIJA EL DEPÓSITO DIRECTO.
With direct deposit, your tax refund goes straight from the U.S. Treasury into your savings or checking account. Compared to the prepaid debit card option, direct deposit could help you to save on fees and enjoy quicker, more convenient access to your funds in your Visions account.
It's a free service – and easy to set up! Click here for tips to establish or switch your direct deposit.

STOP SPENDING, START SAVING.
If you're thrilled about the cash, you could be tempted to spend it quickly. Before you do, make sure you have plenty of emergency savings to prepare for the unexpected. Experts suggest six months of living expenses as a healthy target.
To start saving for emergencies, open an additional savings account today. Ask a representative or simply click Add a Share/Certificate in digital banking to get started.
-
AUMENTE SUS DIVIDENDOS.
Your savings can lead to earnings, especially when those savings are in the right account! Unless you'll need the funds soon, consider depositing your tax return into a share certificate and enjoy a higher rate of return than traditional savings and checking accounts.
When you're looking ahead to retirement, you may also want to maximize your IRA contributions for each tax year. Learn more about IRAs and maximum contributions.

REDUZCA SU DEUDA.
If you have a financial wellness coach or debt counselor, seek their guidance when placing those funds. By using your refund to reduce debt, you might be able to improve your credit. Learn about your credit score.
Plan your approach.
Refund or no refund, it's always a good idea to review your financial wellness or retirement plan. To get in touch with a nationally accredited counselor (CCUFC) on our team and discuss your financial goals, email education@visionsfcu.org.
