While getting it all back is nice I prefer making enough money that I actually have to pay taxes.

This won't go well for you.

I don't understand why you would do that is all. Adjust your withholding so you don't overpay - you get to enjoy your money immediately.

It's not smug. You are a poor financial planner. Stop giving them your money.

So, instead of paying with cash (by not overpaying your taxes throughout the year), you took out risky loans. Play with snakes and you will eventually get bitten.

It isn't like you can earn any reasonable amount of interest income these days. The govt is holding rates at 0% so people don't hold onto money, so this is the environment to go out and spend.

I claimed exempt and still get money back

You get a title shot any time you want.

Been working well so far. had to replace damn near every appliance in this house... in fact... everything has been replaced. Furnace, AC, Dishwasher, Hot water heater, washer/dryer. that shit aint cheep.

well when something breaks, and you dont have the cash, i have no problem going out and getting 6 months same as cash. I learned my hard lesson in my early to mid 20's about fiscal responsibility. Paid off all my credit card debt a few years back and havent had one since.

Not everyone on ATOT is a millionare. sheesh.

You can look down your nose at me all you want, some people just dont care. I like getting the fat wad back in March and sitting on it for the rest of the year. Trying to nickel and dime every dollar i can from the man isnt my priority. Ive got a lot of other things id rather do with my time and energy. Money isnt everything to some people.

I agree.

Unless you are a financial genius, you cannot predict your exact tax situation for the next year.
It is better to have a small refund than a tax bill.

How much interest are you earning on that tax refund anyway? <$10???

On a $10k return, over the course of the year, you average having overpaid by about $5000. Well, since you don't get it back, usually until at least February or later, we'll say the average is $6000 overpaid. Let's see... how much interest are banks paying these days? Even at 2% (you're dreaming), that's all of $120 in interest you miss out on. And to the "you have that money to spend sooner" person - ahhh, living paycheck to paycheck, huh? Spend it as soon as you get it?
