  This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ebates for IZEA Worldwide. All opinions are 100% mine.   When it comes to tax time we ALL hope for a refund. And if we’re lucky enough to get one, we are left with the big question = What do I do with it? Before I get into that I’d like to clear up one confusing point regarding tax refunds. I find a lot of people do not realize exactly what their refund is. Or think it is money the government is giving them.
