Not OP but that's very interesting if cool and I appreciate you sharing this

any source for that? From what I understand you don't get interest paid back to you when you get a tax refund.

Not sure about NYC but the fed pays you interest in what they owe you, but, AFAIK, only to the extent there is a delay in distributing any refund you are owed.

Yeah that's a little different though. We're talking about how overwithholding itself is an interest free loan until the refund comes. The interest that would get paid out is only if the refund is issued late, it doesn't catch you up on interest you might have earned if you didn't overwithhold in the first place

I'm not sure where you're getting your information. Your tax refund, from the IRS or the state, is 100% absent any interest. You are absolutely giving them an interest free loan in the form of over withholding.
