    Buying an HRM and a new pair of walking shoes. Probably getting the serpentine belt replaced on my car before it decides to break. Paying off my credit cards, and putting some money towards a week long trip to Germany later this year to see my son and his family who are stationed over there!!!

    Nope, gonna bank it when it comes in next week.

    I wish I had the strength

    guess it depends on what you bought?

    I'm banking 1/3 of mine, the other 2/3 is paying off two cards.

    I agree with everyone....why is it the more you make the less you get back? I have a friend who got back almost $10,000 and neither her or husband barely worked last year...wtf? We are using it to pay our little girl's school tuition off, pay off the credit cards we racked up last year and hopefully will have enough to get carpet in the our soon to be master bedroom that we have been working on for the last 3 years!! Hopefully we get what we got back last year!!
    That's why on my little cash transactions, I slip that money right in my pocket.

    Have no idea how much we're getting, but whatever the amount, it is already spent. :( Putting some up for our cruise in May, paying off my son's hospital bills, buying our Alabama football season tix (Roll Tide!), and then the rest towards our credit card.

    You're doing it wrong. Have more kids. It's free money. It's the American way!

    I was using TurboTax and it was going to cost almost my whole refund just to prepare and file with them. Noooo thank you. I work for a library foundation and I know that I can go into the library and get all the forms I need, as well as directions on how to fill them out myself. So I'm doing that this year, for the first time ever. But, I also don't have anything complicated.

    If you make less than $31k you can use the "Freedom Edition" of TurboTax and file federal and state for free. That's what I do.

    Mine is already spent. If it's not paying the rent, it's paying the medical bills.

    Still waiting on some financial forms. We're getting back WAY too much. I like getting back a bit, probably around $1000 or so but this last year was just too much. It will go into savings.

    Thank you!! I have never heard of that before! Sneaky TurboTax people... I make well under 31K so I should be good to go. Will check it out when I get home from work!!!

    Doh, I feel like a tard. We make about 27000... and I had no idea. Oh well.

    Ours is all going towards my school tuition because I'm tired of paying for loans. :ohwell:
