Yes I know I am dumb for letting the goverment use my money, blah blah blah. Moving on, those who are getting tax returns, what plans do you have for yours? I am gonna sit on mine (put it in the bank), money has been really tight and it would be nice to have an extra cushion in the bank. Plus Im sure I will end up having a catastrophe that will deplete it anyways. Anyone having any big plans for theirs?

I always get a refund. I always shove it in the bank.

Yeah, it's dumb to let Uncle Sam hold your money. But that $20 a week that's missing from my paycheck goes unnoticed by me. If I had it, I'd just blow it. Since I don't have it, when I get that $1000 check every February it's like a windfall.

Put it towards my credit card.

My girlfriend works at a tax preparation place and she had a guy get > $10,000 back which is more than he had paid in due to qualifying for EIC.

He spent $600 extra to get the rapid refund (next day) then went to a check casher and spent 3% to get the check cashed.(didn't even have a fucking checking account!)

Basically blew $1000 getting his taxes back and cashing the check because he couldn't wait a week.

Awesome use of my tax money. EIC pisses me off.

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.

Sounds like my brother, although no where near that amount, but he acts like an extra week is going to kill him. I want every penny back I can get, it's my money in the first place.

* Pay off a small amount of CC debt we accumulated in the past year
* Buy a water softening system for our house
* Give some to a charity through our church
* Save the rest, if any is left

The only way I get a refund is by having my employer hold out extra every pay day,but I usually take the wife and kids somewhere for a few days with it.

Doubt I will have enough to do anything with, and I may pay in. With the economy, I didnt expect to make over 30,000, so I set up my w-2 to lower withholding expecting earned income credit. I ended up at just over 41,000. 7000 of which was unemployment with no withholding. I hope to break even with Uncle Sam.

Its going in my rainy day fund. I plan on moving in the summer and although I am not anticipating any technical difficulties, I am not ruling them out. Getting a job as a waiter is never the most stable economic route.

Talk to a good friend of mine that works in a Sales and Rental place and he informed me that they had a HUGE spurt in sales on the 20th through the 24th of December of people that went to H&R Block and got an advance on thier "Projected" tax refund.

I don't know how much interest is on it or what percentage they actually get but I bet people that do this kind of shit get F***ed when they actually get their return done?

Me.. I have sunk more than $3K into my house getting it ready for sale so along with that and my taxes and interest paid on my house should get me a nice return.

If you are getting a tax refund then you are doing it wrong. You want to be as close to zero as possible.

We're getting 1.5k extra for upgrading our HVAC for energy efficiency. We'll probably hang onto it. Don't really need anything new anyway. If anything, we'll put it back into the house.

If I was smart(which I'm not), I would put it in the bank or in my Roth IRA. That being said, I'll probably spend it on one of the following:

new or used rifle/shotgun
new rifle scope
new PS3
new tires

Actually I would argue you want to owe as much as possible without actually paying penalties. My taxes will be brutal this year, which I guess is both a good and a bad thing....
