The IRS gives you the option to take your refund as an I bond this year if you feel inclined. You just need to tell your tax preparer or use form 8888 to request that all or part of your refund be issued as savings bonds rather than a direct deposit to your account or check sent to you. While I have nothing against I bonds, cash is king in my book, especially in an economy where cash flow is so tight.
