If anyone doesn't actually want a large refund, I found this wage bracket method chart rather helpful
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15.pdf
Page 46. All else equal, You can raise or lower your allowances to get more or less back.
Say you made a grand a week. Zero allowances would have $159 withheld. With 3 allowances, they would withhold $101. So depending on your refund amount from the year prior and everything staying the same, you can see if that $3 grand later , or $58/week is more useful to you.
There is NO free money. You may have other liabilities, so it may be safe to have more taken out. Some seem to let the government take advantage of them, and then feel like they are rewarding you. It;s called a refund for a reason.

just amended my return in Turbo Tax, forgot that being in school I get a 1098-T so now they should be giving me 1k back for fed.
too bad I have to send the paperwork back via mail and they are sending a check and it says it can take 8-20 weeks

E-file with TaxAct.
Didn't get nothing but $100 back, so maybe that had something to do with it
