Mike in Seattle said:If it's an annual thing, all a refund means is you're having too much withheld, and happily made an interest-free loan to the government...
Words to live by. Of course, as ones' situation changes from year to year, some adjustments are often necessary to minimize or eliminate the interest-free loan to the gummint.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) I have not been in a position to provide such loans for some years now.
One year in the early 80's, I actually did get a refund of some hundreds of dollars. I used it to attend a 2-day high performance driving session at the Bondurant School, which was then located at Sears Point Raceway north of San Francisco. I'd have to say that was one of the best investments in driving skill - and the most fun - of anything I've ever done. it was a blast!
