LOL What's a tax "refund" ??!!
tax "refund" [n]:
1. When the government acknowledges that money it took from you without your permission actually does belong to you and returns it.
2. The repayment on an interest-free loan you made the government throughout the year by not calculating your tax burden correctly.
3. Enforced savings for a big-dollar purchase with a negative return on investment due to inflation.
MG: take your pick from the above list.
(Why do I have a refund this year? I have a 1-year old child (aka tax deduction ) and my wife no longer works (for a paycheck).)
