I suppose I took it from the perspective of money that you were not expecting to have returned to you (and thus it felt like free money). You are right--that would definitely have been your money to begin with. There are some instances where it is not, though someone could argue that you paid the taxes at some point anyway (such as the first time homebuyer's $8,000 credit).

That is money that you chose to give freely to the gov without interest... getting the deflated principal back at a later date. Not a good choice for the article.
