Rebate Check Purchases

And i don't believe your parents get what your rebate Ned, according to a friend of mine her dad doesn't get her rebate, which I think is complete BS

I believe they do. They get an addition 300 in addition to their 600 for each dependent they claim, which means any claimed dependent is ineligible, regardless of the fact that they may earn qualifying income (like I do). I earned over 3000 in the 2007 tax year, which makes me eligible for it, but since my parents are claiming me as a dependent, I get nothing and they get an additional 300. or atleast my mom does. Thats what my understanding is anyway :-P

Who knows anymore.
I just know I have to wait for money that I actually need at like the beginning of JUNE!

Does anyone else get a kick out of the fact that the Canadian guy is the one who has the full US tax rebate schedule?

Unfortunately it is because as a US citizen you still have to file US taxes even if you live out of the country.
BTW, it's the only country in the world that does that too.......massive pain in the butt.

Well, that just plain sucks..

You got that right.

It's worse than the Capital One "you've got bankers" and "hands in your pockets" commercials.

Lol you didn't sign up for direct deposit?

i know my family doesnt do direct deposit because we like actually having that check in our hand, for the amount it should be, making sure the IRS isnt jacking us (anymore than they already do)

"Starting in May, the Treasury will begin sending economic stimulus payments to more than 130 million households. To receive a payment, taxpayers must have a valid Social Security number, $3,000 of income and file a 2007 federal tax return. IRS will take care of the rest. Eligible people will receive up to $600 ($1,200 for married couples), and parents will receive an additional $300 for each eligible child younger than 17. Millions of retirees, disabled veterans and low-wage workers who usually are exempt from filing a tax return must do so this year in order to receive a stimulus payment."
