“For the past three years, the government has been confiscating hundreds of thousands of American’s tax refunds”
There is a simple answer, never overpay your income taxes. Always make sure that you owe at the end of the year. Works good for Obamacare “fines” too. I am always amazed at people who “love” to get a “refund” from the IRS. Dumb $hits think that getting their own money back after having “loaned” it to the government interest-free is wonderful! And we wonder why we have these “elected turds” in the Congress. John Wayne said “life is tough, and it’s tougher if you’re stupid.” We sure do have a bunch of dummies living here now.
I’m with you. I used to get a hefty refund every year. I revamped my withholding several years ago so I either owe a small sum or get a very small refund. There is no interest gained on a overpayment.
