A recent survey by TaxSlayer found that four in five Americans (83 percent) say the best part of filing their taxes is knowing they are getting money back soon.  In addition, three in five (61 percent) say they know how they are going to spend their tax refund before they get it.

"It's clear that people are eager to get a refund, and we can't wait to see firsthand all the ways they'll use the money," said Lapin. "You've worked hard all year, and now it's time to slay your taxes and enjoy your refund."
