It's tax refund time, baby!

If you've got big plans for your incoming cash (ahem, used cars in Billings?), you'll want to make sure you take full advantage of your tax refund in Montana. Since the world of tax filing is large and looming, we've figured out how you can work the system for your personal gain.

Here's how to squeeze every last penny out of your tax refund in 2016.

5 Ways to Take Advantage of Your Tax Return

1. File early. Accountants get super swamped around tax season, so start collecting documents as soon as you can. Plus, since most refunds are issued less than 21 calendar days after returns are filed, early preparation means early refund!
2. Get the biggest tax return you can. There are several ways to get more money out of your return, such as:
   1. Contributing to your retirement
   2. Taking eligible above-the-line deductions
   3. Itemizing your deductions (rather than taking the standard deduction)
   4. Claiming any friends or relatives you've been supporting
   5. Claiming refundable tax credits
3. Predict how much money you'll get. Use a free tool like this one to estimate your tax refund for free.
4. Check the status of your tax return online. If you filed electronically, you can see your status within 24 hours of filing; if you filed via snail mail, you'll have to wait four weeks.
5. Don't miss the deadline! If you can't file early, at least file on time -- or miss your chance at filing altogether. Fortunately, the deadline is a little later this year: Monday, April 18.
