Sadly that will never be fully understood by those who are not good with their finances. I know a LOT of people that are probably better off having too much tax withheld so they have an emergency fund at least once a year, for a better used car, new appliance etc. I just helped a gal patch her car up so her old car would last a few more weeks until her refund showed up. She gets significant credits for being a single parent and working though. Your tax refund should not have a huge impact on your life, but it does for many, and probably always will.
