I took advantage of Obama's new homebuyer tax break a couple of years ago, which was, essentially, a loan... So if last year was any indication, I think I'll be getting about $2 back.

I'd like to tell the IRS to take their jumbled bullshit tax code and shove it up their ass. 
 
But instead I'll just duck my head and pay like a bitch. -__-

I'm not getting a tax return. The only money I got taken off of my paychecks was for social security, and I'm not getting that back. 
 
So...nothing? There's not much you can do with $0.

My tax returns are generally just a couple hundred bucks.  I'll pay for my tax preparation with most of it, and maybe take my wife out for a nice meal on the rest.

Well, I'm 20, and going to a community college. To save some money, I live with my parents. Unfortunately, I don't get a cent back, because they continue to claim me, even though I don't get any financial help from them at all. It sucks, but what am I gonna do?

I'm only going to get a few hundred back.  I'll probably blow most of it on finishing payment on my 3DS preorder.

I doubt I will get it because I have a student loan and I think the government steals my tax return. If by some fluke I do get it, I plan to use it to pay off the last bit of my credit card minus a hundred or two, then every penny I get can go towards all the games I haven't been able to afford. 
 
It should be around $380 something. I only got a month of work last year, but it's nice.
