you didn't do the math right to begin with, thus giving your gov't a
free ride on your money... not exactly good accounting or particulary
smart

Once again your lack of knowledge in anything remotely related to the
conservative ideals the USA was founded on is showing.

Perhaps he estimates his tax payments. According to law payments this
year are based on how you did last year. Perhaps he did not do as well
this year, and yet still had to pay taxes as if he did. Thus, he gets a
refund.

Or . . . you can be smarter and pay less estimated tax than calculated, thus
withholding that which you really don't owe the government anyway. It's not
really rocket science to estimate how much tax you actually will owe in a
given year. $6K of overpayment is foolish.
