 Always has baffled me when people get excited for a return. So the IRS took more of your money than they should’ve, kept it interest free for a year, and finally returned it to you… and you act like it’s some kind of bonus? Yet if you are conservative on your W4 and pay too little, you owe a penalty (happened to me the past two years, nature of my work) 🤘🏻 
 Exactly! and the IRS doesn’t want you to owe too much either, that would be like an interest free loan to you (if taxation wasn’t theft). Rather, they’ll pay you back a decent amount later … an interest free loan to them!
