There’s no denying the feel-good factor of getting cash back, but when that cash back comes in the form of an IRS refund, it isn’t always a good thing. For the 2016 tax year, the IRS issued over 60 million refunds, averaging out to $2,931. When you receive a refund, it is because you paid too much money throughout the year in the form of an interest-free loan to the IRS, instead of having that money to save or invest in interest bearing accounts.
