Huge tax refund - good or bad? How to fix overpayment for next year?
Hey everyone, I just got my tax refund and it's way bigger than I expected. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. Does anyone know what it means when your federal tax withholding is much higher than necessary? I feel like I'm missing out on something here. Any advice on how to fix this for next year?

Pro tip: if you can, go to a local IRS office in person. Sometimes its easier to get things sorted face-to-face.
This! I did this and got my issue resolved in one visit. Saved me so much time and headache.

I went through this last year. It's not as scary as it seems. Just be honest and have all your docs ready. You got this! 💪

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through to the IRS to ask questions, I found this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20 but saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

I hear ya, it's not ideal. But for me, the time saved was worth the cost. To each their own tho!

Remember, if you're getting a big refund, you're essentially giving the government an interest-free loan. Adjust your withholdings and put that money to work for YOU throughout the year!
