I'm not getting one because I don't quite have to deal with taxes just yet, but my mom's using it to pay off some bills. I'm hoping to see a portion of it to go to my savings for a DSi to replace my broked DS Lite.

Put it in my ING Direct Savings account. If any of you get a refund of more than $250 and want to do the same thing contact me and I can get you a $25 account opening bonus.

If I get a refund which I probably will I will put some if it in savings and use some to pay my credit card debt.

We are going to buy a new washer, probably a dishwasher, get breaks for our van, go to Wisconsin Dells, and after that I am not sure.

As long as we get a refund, which we should, it will be going towards paying down debts like it has for the last five years.  There's a good chance after this year's return we could finally be debt free (minus the house and car).  If there is some money left over after clearing the debt, it'll either go into some savings account or towards a mini vacation.

I'm a tax preparer and every year I owe money. This year, I'm lucky to get a refund with the new education credits. I love uncle Sam this year.
I will be putting some of that money to pay off the property tax assessment for my home. I hate taxes, but it's part of our life. Getting a refund to pay for another tax. I hate not being able to get back everything I pay into! Not having children doesn't help during the tax season. Tax season is the one time I wish I had 12 children :)

We usually get a good chunk of change back but I'm not sure how much we'll get cause my husband had three jobs last year and didn't make as much money as usual.
We're moving either way but depending on how much we get back, we'll either pay a few bills or pay a few months in rent.  We'd like to buy a bigger tv and get a few items of clothes cause we're always too worried about the kids to ever shop for ourselves.
