Just semantics, though.

Not to be confused with Tax refund.
The answer to the question "What are you going to do with your tax return?" is "File all of the required financial documents that my tax return asks me to supply and hope I don't owe any money and might end up with a tax refund."
They are complementary, not interchangeable terms.2007 997 Targa 4S - Guards Red

Just because people generally use it incorrectly doesn't mean we should just accept that the terms are interchangeable. You should probably read what IRS.gov is asking before using that as your evidence. A tax return is the document, tax refund is the *hoped for* result.

They can easily be interchangeable, if you take them in context.
Did you know know what the OP was asking? Did you think the OP was asking how you were going to file? Clearly you understood that the OP was asking what you will do with your refund, assuming you are getting one after filing your return.
But rather than simply answering the question, you first chose to try and show your perceived intellectual superiority over the OP.
All that said, good luck on your tax return. I hope you get a refund so you can get your plastic whale-tail for your car.
