Some people don't get refunds.
Yes I do. My primary residence is still the US.Do you pay US tax?
Yeah, for me, "tax time" = "forget about that new ukulele"
I manage my taxes to owe.
I would rather have the money in my paycheck, use it to reduce debt or earn interest as the case may be, and prepare for paying come tax day.
A lot of people I know overpay their taxes as a forced savings account. I could never understand that.
My spouse and I are the exact opposite. We purposely have the max withheld and each year get a big refund. One year we each bought ourselves a big gift (Moore Bettah for me, motorcycle for the spouse). One year it saved our hide when a pipe burst. Most years it pays for all our vacations. I am a horrible saver, so for me it is the only way to manage big ticket purchases. I know it isn't fiscally smart but it works great for us.

I'll be lucky to get a refund. I did spend more on my biz than it made, so that might help. Maybe I need a new biz? LOL, I mainly got it for the deductions, I learned that from rich people. If I get a refund, it will probably go to my broke Mommy.
