So, what is this about, then? You're gunna either get the money back the following year, or you're gunna have to give it up in tax. If you have a hit in January, then you don't get that 25% back(if you're due it) for a whole year. So, it's a question of the gov't making interest off your money?

Exactly my point....I just feel that it is better for the gov't to take it upfront than at the end of the year. Just like they do in a paycheck. Do you think it would be prudent for the gov't to rely on the public to pay their taxes at the end of the year instead of when they get paid?
