Good post on the "or what" part of a large tax refund. I always tell people not to get too excited. That is your money!

The hard thing is knowing how much to withhold because credits you take in one year might not be there the next.

Thanks. We have the situation of a refund from the federal and one state while having to pay in to another state. Fortunately, the amount we owe is relatively small, so we don't have any interest or penalties. Because the amounts typically taken off payroll do not account for mortgage interest, property taxes, childcare costs, and charitable contributions, we usually do get money back. But I know it is not a gift but only the return of a free loan.
