Question Tax returns. Are you getting one? If so, what are you spending it on?

Just did my taxes yesterday and got approval on both of them today. All of mine will be applied towards bills.

E filed and accepted last night. I plan on paying off two credit cards and putting cash in a CD and savings. After a rough 08, wife and I need to replenish that.
I love deductions for kids and mortgage interest, that stuff really pushes that refund up!

I can't file mine until after 2/11 due to two forms having an update coming in.... Will be buying a 10x10 wooden shed for the back yard with part of it. Replacing the master bedroom furniture with another part of it (over 10 years old). Then banking the remainding $7k+. Moved last year and looks like a big refund this year with all the additional expenses...... Somewhere between $11k-$12K.

Cool At least I drive a cool car.

I owe.
Even though a third of my paycheck is taken out every month, apparently I make too much.
single + child free = I get penalized for it.
I wonder if CA will let me give them an IOU?

I'm still waiting on a couple forms. When I get my return, it will pay off a couple bills and go towards vacation savings.

Getting about $4k with state and federal, I imagine some of it will be wasted, but I expect a majority to go to bills as well.
