I'll never understand why getting a bigger refund is a good thing....

I stopped loaning at zero interest moons ago....

I just set a rate and go. Usually that refund goes into a slush fund and if something comes up or we take a nice vacation we have it.

while I understand the 'no see, no spend' attitude, there are better options....

viewed longer term, it's a gimme...

I agree. My wife does that. So all the federal money is based on my salary. However facts remain that we made more and we’re getting more back unlike what Mr. Mach is claiming. One has to wonder how Mach’s taxes went.

his should be simple to counteract regardless of any change....

in his enviro, one can manipulate withholding during the course of the year.....
