How's that work? I never get large returns. Largest for me was .. this year, actually. $450 from Fed, $115 from state.
Do you have kids? Everyone I know that has kids gets these thousand dollar returns.

Also, I've always been taught not to use taxes as a savings account, so I do end up paying because I don't have as much withheld. However, sometimes I think about doing that differently: usually every April. :p Anyway, I actually usually do have them done by now, just not sent in...guess what? I can't find my freaking W2s. Arghhhhhhh.

If it makes you feel better, "our" refund disappeared thanks to Mrs. Dallas having an unexpected bounty of freelance work with hardly any writeoffs against it. We hadn't really planned for it, so the bill's a bit of a surprise, though we're much better off having gotten the income than not (duh). WTF moment: As a result, we should have, if we had paid more attention, paid estimated taxes to the state of PA. Not a huge amount--$33 per quarter--but nonetheless we did not pay. Therefore we are being assessed $5 extra in interest.
