    If you're getting huge amounts of money back every year, you should probably just change your withholding to accurately reflect the reality of your financial situation and just get larger paychecks.

    We payed off his last $3,000 owed in student loans, put some into savings, spent a little each on ourselves (I bought a new coffee pot and a gorgeous maxi dress since I will be very pregnant this summer and I feel so beautiful when I'm pregnant and wearing a dress!), and bought a couple of household items that needed replacing.

    I am not sure how this works, but I am hoping if sharky does his taxes this year that he will get some money back seeing as how he earns below poverty level and has a dependent.

    I dunno how that stuff works though

    I bought myself a lovely, lovely Alice in Wonderland book scarf:



    And the rest goes into savings.

    I probably won't get any tax returns this year. Also, we don't get them until summer.

    If I had my way, I would buy a big smurfing bathtub.

    But realistically, it will go towards a house down payment or toward diapers.

    Did some stuff for the car, and made sure my bills were safe. The rest was used for a new 3DS XL and sound system for gaming gloriousness. But last year I had to pay. So instead of claiming zero, or just claiming myself, I claimed 3 and had them take an extra $10/paycheck just to make sure I got something nice back

    I did my federal tax online about a month ago, got the refund via direct deposit two weeks ago.

    However, getting a large refund is irresponsible. You'd be better off to change your withholding and invest it throughout the year! so I guess I'll buy a few shares of stock or something
