Curious...
Ours came out to be $5K more than usual. Only 10% of that is an actual refund of federal income taxes we paid through with-holding. The rest of it is EIC, and Child Tax Credit (3 kids=$3K), and the new "Making work pay" thingy.
A couple of other people I've talked to have mentioned that theirs is quite a bit larger than previous years too, and for similar reasons.
When I think of the government sending me a check that big... It makes me want to just put the money in savings in case either I made a mistake, or TurboTax did.
It feels...odd.
