That is exactly how I feel about it also. I don't understand what people think.

Some people just like getting that nice check every year instead of a little more each week.

Try the the free turbo tax. I used it, came out just fine. You'll have to put up with ads and all that, but it works out pretty good, even the e-file is free.

Interesting... I always buy the turbo-tax kit. I didn't realize they had a free option... does all the same stuff, I assume?

I've been filing with turbo tax for several years, every year they find some way of charging me. This year, it was almost 70 bucks, so instead of getting impatient, I checked out taxact (I saw it on fox news) and it was a bit better, and actually free, except for state (15 bucks).
But then again , I don't need fancy tax reports, mine are pretty simple. But, all in all, when they advertise a free program, it should be free.
They even had the 'most asked questions' tab on turbo tax, of which # 1 was why they charge when people clicked on the 'free' version.
Turbo tax has a really nice bait n switch program.

I just got fed up with it.

Not to mention, I am receiving an extra 2k with taxact.

Well, my experience was every other page they'd ask you if you wanted this or that, which you would get charged for, which they put in the ad. If all you want to do is file the taxes, then it's free all the way, it'll check deductions, ask you questions to see if there were any breaks in it for you, etc. I did it and my cost was absolutely 0$. Yea they charge you for state taxes, but the FAQs were still free, you only paid for live support, audit protection, that sort of thing.

This is silly. But no doubt many people do it, I have the same exact discussion with my friends. And even after presenting the logical argument that they can not refute, they continue to do it.

Most people who do this simply can't save money on their own (lazy?). Thats why they are ok with the government hanging on to it for them at zero percent interest with no early access.

If you simply took that little extra each paycheck and invested it your money would actually be working for you. What do you think the government is doing while they have it? Using it to make more! And even though you'll only be earning a little interest or return at least you'll have access to it, which is where it really saves you, from paying credit cards or lenders when you really need cash.

Its funny when people who do this also complain about not getting ahead in life. If there is one thing self made wealthy people have in common, its that most of them have figured out tax system pretty well.
