[quote=Anonymous]I got $0.07 in interest on my checking account in July. So the extra $20 I might have gotten in my paycheck from under-withholding wouldn't have earned anything sitting in my account, and I probably would have spent the $20 without noticing. Whereas the $1,000 refund would be deposited directly into savings and I wouldn't miss the extra few cents of interest it would have earned in my stupid checking account. I'm not saying getting a refund is "sensible." But for some people, a $1,000 check will have more impact than $20/week would. I did adjust my withholdings when I bought a more expensive house, based on redoing my taxes with the new amounts, and I got pretty close. But I like the idea of a small refund better than writing a check. For me, it's psychological.[/quote]
