    Other countries get it exactly right? I have only done about 10 years of taxes, but myself and from talking to others it seems a refund is usually just a given. We can have a number of exemptions...

    Other countries get it exactly right? I have only done about 10 years of taxes, but myself and from talking to others it seems a refund is usually just a given. We can have a number of exemptions which adjust how much we get taken out of a paycheck vs in a refund, and I think most people err on the side of having more taken so they don't end up oweing more instead, but that still happens to some. Either way, I've never heard of someone ending up exactly even and not needing some adjustment after filing.
