Got my refund by the end of the month. Between a second child, a new house and stupidly withholding as "Married with Single", my wife and I got enough back for a small car! Needless to say we changed our withholding amounts the day after we completed our returns. Paid off most of our revolving debt. I also am not using my stimulus check to buy anything new. It's going to pay off the last of our credit cards. Oh, it will feel so good to have those cards cleared off! Going to cut a couple of them up too. I filed on Feb 11th.

I owed a few thousand... I suppose I should file a new W-4 to withhold more, now that I get a big chunk of extra income from a trust. At least I was able to file on time this year. Stupid trust usually doesn't send my Schedule K-1 in time. (I got to file in September last year.) I filed last week. I owed a few thousand...

It was a decent refund, but the rebate coming in the next couple of months should be more then my refund, which makes me happy.

I'm getting a decent refund, attributed mostly to being stupid and not ever checking the "Married" box on the W-2 at my previous employer. The additional withholding gave us a refund last year, and because of when I realized that's what happened, I had already had quite a bit withheld. Oh well, I don't mind getting money back :) I filed on Monday (I had most of it done a couple weeks ago, but I was waiting to hear back from one client I had last year -- he never mailed a 1099).
