We haven't officially decided yet, but we may pay off some small debts, save it, or put some money into moving/our new house. Do you know what you will do with your tax return yet?

Use it to pay the state income tax that wasn't withheld while my dh was working out of state. Yay non-income tax state, Alaska I'm lookin' at you!
If anything is left we'll put it in our savings.

If we get a return (I'm a freelancer) we'll put it towards debt!

Probably buy patio furniture and a grill for the new house. Or pay off the CC or put back in savings cause DH couldn't wait for a grill.

We're planning on putting some into savings, paying off some debt, and buying a wall mount for our living room tv.

Pay off debt and put whatever is left into savings. We desperately need a new couch and bed but they will have to wait until we recover from the expenses of moving.

Save it! We are trying to have at least 6 mos of day care costs in savings before LO comes, because money will be tiiiight. Crossing our fingers for a good return!

We don't get money back
Edited to add: that's not exactly true. We get bridges and roads and libraries and firefighters... And that makes me happy!

Last year I got $23 back. If I get the same-ish amount this year I'll probably.......I have no idea......what does $23 get you?!

We'll have to keep ours in our account for a little while while we close on our new house (we hope to close, rather). After that, we'll put it toward the purchase of a new-used car. My little PT Cruiser won't handle Henry's car seat and the infant car seat for the new LO.

If we get anything back, I'd like to pay off the remainder of our CC debt (not much, just enough to be annoying), buy a bedframe (I have one saved on Overstock forever that's just $250), and put whatever's left into savings.

We're buying a new couch because ours irritates my sciatica badly. Happy to be getting rid of our old Craigslist couches

We never get $ back, but if by miracle we do; if it was under $300, we would go out to a nice dinner, if it was more we would put half in LO's 529 and half into savings.

Some will go toward paying down the mortgage early, some will go to savings, some will go to retirement and then just a little for some fun! I'm going to NOLA in June, so that will probably be funded by tax return money.

We're just hoping to get some back. Last year after paying into the state we ended up with $5. If we do get anything it will go into savings for our kitchen remodel.

We don't get much back, if any. If we do, we'll put it aside for house stuff.

We are working on finishing out basement so new laminate floors for down there and put the rest into savings.

We usually save it, but we have been putting off buying a new a/c unit for the house for a couple if years, and I'm not sure it's going to make it through another Florida summer.

If we get anything back it will all go towards replacing our roof! The joys of being a homeowner

We aim to break even so hopefully that's the case! If we get anything back, it goes into savings. As long as we don't owe like last year (damn marriage penalty!)...

Already planning on putting it toward debt and maybe a new kitchen table!
