re: How many of you get a big tax refund check?

I agree. I've cut many checks to them, but I try to keep it in the low four figures positive/negative. Sent $10k+ (thanks, ex wife, for keeping up with the self employment tax payment coupons I printed out for you in April) for the 2022 filing year. I owe sub $1,500 on my own for 2023.
