People who talk about “getting their taxes”

This seems to have really become a thing in the last 5-10 years. They seem to have no concept that you don’t “get” taxes, you “pay” taxes. EIC is the devil. My wife and myself work all year, having taxes withheld, only to have to come up with thousands more by April 15. Infuriates me.

If this happens often, do something about it. Sounds like you need to adjust your withholding.

there should be no such thing as refundable tax credits.
you're tax liability is zero? you can have what you overpaid. You don't get more than what you paid

Likely you have tax deductions that you’re not taking advantage of while completing your tax forms.

Shouldn’t be rewarded with EITC when you aren’t working or doing jack shite .

Sorry your wife doesn’t want to spawn with you for profit

I feel the same way. Every year we get four full months of gleeful, idiotic "it's tax time!" ads aimed at the EIC crowd. My reactions range from eye-rolling to full on terror. It really sucks and it's good to know I'm not the only one who suffers through this.

I work with lots of low income people with lots of kids. Those guys/gals get thousands back. My co-worker and his wife are expecting something like 10k back. I don't think they even paid that much in, but they will get a bunch..

I chuckle every time I read someones post on the Money Talk Board about them waiting for their tax return to come in.

Your other option is to overpay them all year, let them earn interest on your money, and you get a check back months after the year ended.

I hate people that say “getting my tax return” but I’m tired of correcting them
You file a return and get a refund idiot

EIC needs to go.
Shoot, we have our W-4 set up to where at the end of the year, if we can break even or pay under $400. Then we’re good.

The Earned Income Credit is, quite frankly, income redistribution. It's not enough that it materially affects things, but it's basically a bribe from the politicians to the lower class paid for by the US Taxpayers.

It's called reparations

It sounds like you should reconsider your withholdings.
