I'm always surprised by people who expect and are excited for their refund. Half the country is pitching about politicians taxation plans when all the while they're volunteering to overpay out of every paycheck.

When you lack the self-control to save, over-withholding + refund becomes an ersatz year-long savings account. It's terrible, lacking any interest at all, but when it's all you've got, breaking open the piggy bank to get your money back feels good even if it doesn't make financial sense.

and then pay % of your refund as a fee to CPA, so they help you maximize your refund.

I know how many guns I have. I know the Feds have more. Therefore give them their pound of flesh before they show up with the myriad of guns.
