That means you fucking nailed it. Tax refunds are over-rated. They're simply non-interest bearing loans to the government.
Hmm, I guess. I don't know much about taxes other than putting in info I'm required. If this is a win, then I'll take it. Kinda miss having a bigger return though.
Let's put it this way. If you got a $1000 return, that means you got shorted $1000 on your paychecks last year. Any refund you get is money you should have already had. The government's just collecting the interest you should have been collecting.
If it makes you feel better, all of that money you paid in is going toward Punishment.
Funny, I also owed the fed 3 dollars and I wondered what's the point? Processing this debit transaction of 3 dollars probably cost the system more than 3 dollars lol
