What ever give us a larger refund

Your tax refund is not a benefit that you get from the government. It's your own money that the government is sending back to you. That's why it's called a refund. If you want to get a bigger refund, have your employer withhold more tax from your pay, or make larger estimated tax payments if you are self-employed. The government will hold your money and send it back to you when you file your tax return at the end of the year. Your paychecks will be smaller, but you'll get a bigger refund because you sent the government more money than necessary, so they send the excess back to you. You're just making an interest-free loan to the government.
