It is best to just claim enough deductions on your W-4 so you come out nearly even.
Although if you like giving the government an interest free loan I guess that is your business...
Does no one find it odd that if you have to pay in and you can't afford to pay it all at once they charge you interest, but they don't pay you interest when you have paid in too much and they give you a refund?
A tax refund is NOT a good thing. That means you have paid in more than you need to. Do yourself a favor and claim enough to get that money in your check and then put it in a savings account, 401K, or something. Then at least you are gaining interest on your money.
