    No return for us - we'll write a check to Uncle Sam. I'd rather that then let the government have my money and pay no interest.

    Paid $8 to the state and got $370 back from the government. That's about as close to perfect as one could hope. I laugh at all the people I know on FB that treat tax returns like it's some magic gift from the government.

    ITS YOUR MONEY, FOOLS! Save it, pay off debt, give it to a homeless person. You're not winning anything. You've just been held hostage by the government all year. :D

    With my $370ish I'm paying off the credit card my 22RE long block was on. I hate credit cards, so excited to kill this one.

    I understand your logic and in a perfect world I would agree with you. The honest truth is that a lot of people wouldn't save that money throughout the year if given it in their paycheck (myself probably included). And especially in this current rate environment, it's not like you're going to earn much more in a savings account anyways. To me, it's a nice way to ensure that I save a little each year without having to really think about it. And when I get it back, it's a nice bonus to spend.
