Ours is already spent. It went completly to supplies to finish our basement. We bought this house with an unfinished basement and said we would finish it when we got around to it. I figured that would never happen but only 2 years later and hubby is working down there every day.

I always get excited to get my refund. It's like..."YAY!!! Free money!!!" And then I realize, it was my money to begin with.... :-5

I get moneys back to the tune of a couple thousand, I being boringly practical will pay down the Credit card, and pay off 2 medical bills and 1 school bill, then the rest is going into either my investment fund, or the fund to get the kid through school next year fund. Most likely the latter so by september I will not see any of my tidy little sum Boo Hoo.

I hate being practical but it allows me to sleep at nite.

Not only was it your money to begin with Baby Rider, but you have made an INTEREST FREE LOAN to the government. I will never understand why people will over withold just to get their own money back. Forced Savings?
