[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The average tax refund so far has shrunk to $2,640 from $3,169 at the same point last year, according to Internal Revenue Service data through Feb. 15 that were released late Friday. That’s a 16.7% drop.

The total number of returns that qualified for refunds was down 26.5% compared with last year and the amount of money refunded was off by 38.8%, the data showed. The IRS has processed 6.6% fewer returns compared with last year because of the partial federal government shutdown.”

Excellent.

In the perfect world there should be zero refunds.[/quote]

But we don't live in a perfect world; we live in the real world. Lots of very middle class people (my mom, my stepsister included) purposefully adjust their withholdings to provide them with a windfall at tax return time. Is it a "free loan to the government? Yes. Is it a relatively efficient and passive savings vehicle for the financially unsavvy? Yes.[/quote]
