Change income tax refunds so that no can get a larger refund than the amount of taxes they had withheld in that year.

Created by B.W. on May 12, 2013

The way the current tax system works many low income Americans can get huge income tax refunds. This petiton is asking that the current tax system change so that no one is allowed to receive more in their income tax refund than they have paid in that year. An example is a man with three kids that makes less than $25,000, and only has $1500.00 in taxes withheld in a taxable year, receiving over an $8000.00 refund. I am asking the system change so that individuals with an over-payment of taxes (per the IRS calculations) cannot get a refund larger than the amount they had withheld.
