That’s a good strategy IF you have a steady income. I work in film. I had 24 different employers this year. I had all my W-2 jobs keep extra, so they’d balance out with my 1099s.

Which… I guess is actually still trying to have the refund/owed be $0, but since I’m guessing and have no idea how much I’ll make each year, I’d rather get a fat refund than owe come tax time.

I know it’s an interest free loan to the gov but I’m shit at saving so it works out okay for me
