I think I will be able to fill up my minivan with gas.
i don't get a tax refund because i don't pay taxes (gee, how did that happen, and it's legal too. i don't even have to file. believe me i really wish i did.) however the rebate checks (for those who filed on line and have direct deposit) are supposed to start going in today. so far my account is still anemic. mine is going into savings so we can move in july. (wish i could spend it, i'd probably blow it all at sam's club - sad but true)
thegrammalady, it's not too late to file and get $300. IRS has a Form 1040A for low income filers that normally don't have to file. Go to the IRS website and I believe you can file through them directly. $300 is $300 and every little bit helps.

When I filed in Feb, the IRS website said I couldn't do it electronically since I was only getting Social Security Disability. So I mailed it in. Even though I don't have to file, I have had to do it each year for financial aid reasons for college. I use to go to H&R Block to have it done, but the prices have gotten ridiculous and I found a mistake when I prepared mine myself this year. The mistake didn't effect the tax outcome, but bugs the crap out of me that they did it wrong. Should have paid more attention last year. No idea what to do with money yet, but would hae to put it all into gas. Maybe by the time I get it, it will be time for next years IHD meting

According to IRS.gov, I'm supposed to receive mine on Friday. I have narrowed it down to just a few items I will want to put it toward:2) A new 150cc scooter. I can't see my budget continuing to afford gas with all my Dialysis related expenses. Plus, one of my co-workers let me ride hers and it was awesome. Plus, I deserve something cool after surviving four years of Dialysis (anniversary: May 16th)4) Blow it on women and booze.

I don't have my own personal computer so I have to come into work to anything online. Thus, I'm always here.2) A new 150cc scooter.

After it's paid off, I'm debt free (until I end up back in the hospital)4) Blow it on women and booze.
