We usually don't get a return, but wind up getting to keep some of what I set aside for self employment taxes. All the extra is going into my new piano fund.

Paying down debt, mostly. We're expecting a pretty big refund so we're going to finish paying off DH's student loan and put a lot toward our second mortgage. And we also owe on our property taxes because we've been underpaying since we bought a couple years ago and it hadn't adjusted yet. Gahhh adulting. There was a time this would all be fun $$.

Also hoping to save some for a trip to visit my sister in Canada slash move there when our country implodes.

It will either go towards daycare or the kids' college funds.

Paying off one of our student loans, most likely surgery on one of our dogs , then savings if there's anything left.

We need to buy a new stove because ours is trying to explode on us...anything left will be to pay off credit cards from when I was laid off last year.

@Modern Daisy: It will actually cost many families more (of the families who are elegible-not everybody is). Many articles have discussed this issue:

The trade-off is that Trump's plan calls for repealing personal exemptions for taxpayers and their dependents as well as the head of household filing status.

If that happens, single parents with dependent children and most married households with at least three dependents would pay more in federal income taxes (according to Batchelder's analysis, even with Trump's child-care tax breaks).
