<prompt> Human: Wife was laid off early April and has been collecting unemployment few hundred a week since then. During then and now she was looking for work but before we knew it summer was upon us and with our kid out of school it was great she could take care of them full time as well as keep the house in order. Now that school has started back up shes considering getting back into the workforce but given shes been unemployed for most of 2015 would it make sense for her to just not work until Jan 2016? Thankfully I make enough to keep us happy and financially healthy so her working for the rest of 2015 is optional in our household.TL;DR: wife hasnt worked since April, if she stays unemployed for rest of year instead of getting a job will our 2015 tax refund be huge?  <response>: Her not working to get back a fraction of the money should would make doesnt make any sense.No one can say what size refund you should expect.
