Since I am 17, I don't get anything because I can be claimed under my parents.
Even though they didn't claim me, and even if they did they wouldn't get anything because I work and they cut off at 17.
So basically, I got screwed.

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you guys are saying but all though I am sure we have to claim this money on our taxes, we don't have to pay it back. From what I have read, and who knows if they are right, this money is technically free. Again just saying what I have read, not that I am right and you are wrong, my knowledge of this stuff is limited. It's not free. It's your money. It's basically a rebate on taxes not yet paid.

I know that a tax refund is my money anyway. I know that it's technically an interest free loan. The thing is...I have no control over whether or not the government takes my money out of my paycheck. So that said, that doesn't mean I don't want some of my money back if I can get it. Exactly... its money I didn't have in my bank account last night. Hence, I'm happy.
