This will be the first significant refund I'll get in the last 6 years. I normally adjust my withholding in the Fall to eliminate my refund with a higher paycheck during the winter. This time though I'm going to qualify for the $8,000 home buyer handout, and there's no way to get that early by withholding or without paying way too much money to amend a 2008 return.

I think I'll pay off my car loan and throw the rest into stuff I still need for the house.
