<prompt> Human: I know many people, especially in my age bracket 19-22, look forward to tax season for this reason. Some even plan for large purchases once the check arrives. Why is getting your money back something to be excited about? Isnt giving paying too much in taxes a bad thing?Edit: I appreciate all the responses. Will read through them later.  <response>: EITC. Some people who work, but dont make that much money actually get back more than they had taken out of their checks. This is especially significant for low to middle income workers with dependents. The other issue is that many young people dont work at the same pay consistently throughout the year, whereas tax withholding is based on making a consistent income throughout the year. What these young people should do is check the W-4 box saying they expect to have no tax liability.
