Due to our shifty EX-Business Partner, we won’t see our regular refund until sometime this summer, let alone out “bonus” from the Gubmint. He has a LOT of explaining to do first to our Accountant, then to our Lawyer, about some missing money, the JERK!

But, when I do get my hands back on my OWN MONEY, I’ll do what I always do: 1/3 to debt, 1/3 to savings, 1/3 to investing.

Sorry, America. I won’t be shoe shopping with my refund, LOL!

[Dixie Yooper]

Save it and much more money to pay for future taxes.

Buy guns and BLOAT. The time of great need approaches.

In that H&R Block survey, by the way, more than 40 percent of the respondents said they wished the government would use the $168 billion economic stimulus package for a higher purpose, such as to reduce the national debt (37 percent),

Well, paying down the national debt would be pretty pointless because the federales just increased the national debt to get the money. < /sarc>

Since I usually come up short on my federal taxes at the end of the year, I'm thinking of just adding $600 to my June estimated payment just to show that I can't be bribed with my own money.

Going straight to debt - $2100.

No rebate for me.
I’m rich.
(and fearing the tax treatment I’ll get from Hill or O’Bammy)

No debt here,except for one vehicle and home we purchased 15 years ago.I’ll put it in the safe with the money I made from selling my business.Sorry guys,I don’t “need” anything and I won’t buy something that I just “want”.Married,3 kids,so I’m looking at $2100 to add to our rainy day fund.

[Nervous Tick]

Stimulus? what stimulus? This is all that was in the letter that the IRS sent to me.

Thanks for nothing, Dubya!

[RobRoy]

Seriously - I’ll be using it to pay taxes.

[paine1776]

Ironically, I am using it to pay my tax bill from 2007.

[MeanWestTexan]

Who gets a check?

I don’t qualify, I just supply the money for other people’s checks.

[Mr. Jeeves]

You must spend. On Chinese-made consumer electronics. It’s your patriotic duty. ;)

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Maybe donate it to Obama’s campaign? (sarc. extreme)

[Scotswife]

we do alot of driving and we have alot of kids to feed.

Since our gov won’t drill on our own soil for oil, much of our “refund” will go to higher gas prices.

Since our gov thought it was a great idea to put corn into gas tanks instead of oil we could drill for - the rest of the money will be going to higher food prices to feed the kiddies we are driving around.

In my case, I'll be spending my federal refund partially on the Outback Steakhouse dinner that I had over the weekend... For about $20, I had a really excellent "Tuscan Ribeye" steak, the best steak I've had in recent memory. It's a marinated ribeye. YUM!!! As for the remaining $200 of my refund, and the $300 that I should be getting as a rebate, well, that will just cover the $500 fee that I put on my credit card and paid to H&R Block to do my taxes this year.

I am going to take a couple of hundred off the top and buy a couple of cases of really good American beer, stock up on the popcorn and Buffalo Wings and watch the demonrat convention. I am hoping for fist fights, flying chairs and yelling from the podium.
