Does your sign dictate your tax refund strategy?
Posted by Kim McGrigg on 4/4/2007

Yesterday, I covered MMI’s sign-specific tax refund survey findings for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. Here are some stats for those of you born from September 24-March 20:

Libra (September 24-October 23)
Known for balance, Libras surprisingly expect the largest refunds (an average of $2,200).

Scorpio (October 24-November 22)
Scorpios are characterized as being passionate. Of those who plan to splurge with their tax refund, one out of four is a Scorpio.

Sagittarius (November 23-December 21)
Sagittarians are known for being optimistic and are not likely to save their refunds. In fact, of those who plan to save, only 5% were born under this sign.

Capricorn (December 22-January 20)
Earth signs, like Capricorn, are associated with practicality. Appropriately, Capricorns are not likely to splurge with their refunds. In fact, of those who plan to splurge, less than 1% are Capricorns.

Aquarius (January 21-February 19)
Aquarius is an Air sign, associated with thought and perspective. Fifty-eight percent of surveyed Aquarians expecting a refund plan to use it to pay down debts.

Pisces (February 20-March 20)
Idealistic Pisces are the least likely to save. In fact, of all those who plan to save, less than 5% are Pisces.

Speaking of signs, don’t forget to sign your tax return—forgetting to sign is on the IRS’s list of most common mistakes.
