Saving.  It's going into the pot for savings for my new car.

I wish I could save it. This year the refund is going to pay bills and get caught up. Between house insurance, car insurance and propane - any refund is already gone.

I have never known anyone to save the tax return....people usually have plans for the money ahead of time.
 im sure there are plenty of people who can save, I wish I could.

i've filed and got mine back already!
i split mine down the middle and half went into my savings
account (which is at a completely different bank so it's
harder for me to touch it) and the rest, i'm spending...

WISELY, that is  :thumbsup:
[ we all have a place in history. mine is in the clouds. ]

Spending, technically-- but it's to pay off bills. I'm not exactly going on a pleasure cruise with it!  :crybaby2: But paying bills means having more money for the future, right?

Saving. I'm also saving for a new car. My other savings will go to pay off my student loans.

I took advantage of the tax break and started an IRA with most of my refund, and will pay off some bills with the rest of it.

I am hoping to put mine towards a down payment on a house, but only if my current house sells.  :dontknow:

I have always put mine into my savings account initially though it goes to pay for most of my gifts.  I have 2 birthdays in February, 3 in March, and another in April that I try to get presents for so I think my refund more replenishes what I already took out.

Most people are trying to paid some bill and try to get ahead for a minute.  I still owe so I will not get a refund.

I will be spending it, not on lavish things.  More on bills.  I am trying to pay off some debt that, because of the tough times, has come about.  Things seem to be getting a little better financially for our family.  So I am working on paying down the debt.
