What sense does this make?

At target today, I bought a copy of H&R Block's Tax Cut [1]. When the cashier handed me my receipt, there was a coupon good for $5 off H&R Block Tax Cut. I know that they want me to give it to a friend to encourage them to buy the software at target - but I'm going to take the software back, get my money back, and then buy it again using the coupon [3].

[1] I've used them for four years now and really like the software. It is easy to use, double-checks to see that your information is correct, and will efile your return.

[2] Yes, I'm putting my taxes together now. If the government owes me a refund, then I want it as soon as possible. And if I owe them money, I can still wait until April 15 to file.

[3] Why, yes, Ebeneezer Scrooge is a personal hero. How did you know?

Before the days of the quilt store, when our business accountant insisted upon doing our personal taxes as well, I always did my taxes in January. If I had a refund coming I wanted those forms in the mail the day my W-2 arrived. I've never understood these people who let Uncle Sam have their money all that extra time interest free.
