Frugal people don't get tax refunds. I make sure I owe a small amount every
year.

It just means you're loaning the government money interest-free.
 
Long ago the penalty/interest on underpaid taxes was much less than even
bank interest, so it paid to have NO withholding and just send a check
in April. They stopped that pretty quickly :-(
 
No underpayment penalty as long as you pay in advance for THIS year at
least what your total tax liability was for the previous year.
Sometimes we get a refund, sometimes we pay.

If you paid twice, you might get twice the minutes, but with the same
expiration date. You should be able to call them and ask.

Have you looked at the prepaid plans at pageplus?

Right. But it took a long while (many hours) for them to accept and
display the new date.
