I already got my tax return. I correctly specified a high number of exemptions on my W4 so the IRS didn't sit around with my money all year. I'll probably owe them a little which will come out of my savings account which has happily been earning interest all year, unlike the <0% tax return you'll get from the IRS.

a friend of mine does this and usually ends up a few hundred ahead at the end of the year, but he screwed up one year and owed a few thousand more than he had set aside
