Some Taxpayers Voluntarily Have More Taxes Withheld from Their Paycheques

question 14

Essay

Some taxpayers voluntarily have more taxes withheld from their paycheques during the year in order to receive a large tax refund once a year. These taxpayers give the government an interest-free loan and lose the interest they could have earned by saving a portion of the larger paycheques they would have received during the year. Why might a person make this choice? What does this choice say about the theory of the consumption function?
