How many of you get a big tax refund check?
It always blows my mind when people get excited for their big tax refund for some large purchase. I can't fathom someone willingly giving extra money to the government to hang on to throughout the year just to ask for it back at the end.

I have so many K-1s to deal with, it's fairly hard for me to get it just right. However, I almost always err on the side of paying too little - e.g. I almost always never "pay safe" quarterly. I just assume the past year was my best year ever and was an outlier and thus I won't owe. In reality, I don't mind owing and even paying penalty interest because it's just not that much when compared with having the cash on my side until the very end. And now with risk-free paying 5.5% it REALLY doesn't matter.
