Average tax refund so far this year is about $3,500

The Internal Revenue Service said Friday that the average refund so far this year is running at $3,539.

So two things:  First, who’s got their taxes done already? Because, cut it out! You’re making the rest of us look bad.

And secondly, you know that when you get a refund you’ve basically given the government an interest-free loan, right?

Right?
