💬 Why This Matters
According to Forbes, self-employed Americans often leave money on the table by missing deductions or waiting until the last minute. (Source: Forbes – Tax Mistakes to Avoid).
A Cosmopolitan article also noted that gig workers tend to “under-report income because they’re unsure how to track it all.” (Source: cosmopolitan.com)

It’s tax season, and if you’re in college, you might have cash waiting for you in the form of a refund. Let’s break it down.
