It’s that time of year again to receive your tax refund.

Some people call it, “Black folks’ Christmas.”

It’s the time of the year that people are trying to buy and sell social security numbers.

That’s right, it’s tax refund season. You see all the commercials, hear all the tax companies trying to say they’ll get you the biggest refund ever, blah, blah, blah.
