Rebate Check Questions.... I'm not sure if I qualify for those rebate checks that are being sent out. So can anyone help me with the qualifications? I filed as single and I only got a whopping $5 tax return.:p |
The fact that you filed and probably made more than $1k to file for you should get one back. You might not get the whole amount being alloted depending on your income but you should get back. The fact that you only got back $5 is because you probably had no deductions and did the ez forms (is that how you filed?). |
This information comes strait off the irs website: 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. So as long as you made over $3000 you should get the full amount depending on whether you are married or not and have children. |
If you go on irs.gov ....there's a form you can fill out that will tell you whether you qualify and the amount you'd receive. |

This is straight from the irs.gov website Are you eligible? The vast majority of people who file a 2007 income tax return qualify, and many who don't regularly file a tax return may qualify as well. You're eligible if you have a valid Social Security Number (SSN), can't be claimed as a dependent on a tax return and have either an income tax liability or "qualifying income" of at least $3,000. Qualifying income includes any combination of earned income and certain benefits from Social Security, Veterans Affairs or Railroad Retirement. Additional information is below, and a full legal description is available in Revenue Procedure 2008-21. So I don't think that you will be recieving a stimulus check since you only made $300. Sorry. |

Ok..so there is also another qualification. Tax liability...the lady at the irs told me that you have to have 600 or over in tax liabilty to get the full amount. I am married and have a child and only got 900 dollars rather than the 1500 we were hoping for...because we don't have any tax liablilty. Whatever that really means :rolleyes: |
Well this makes me wonder about me:(. I made 3,333 2007 year and received 100 back. I am a student but my mother did not claim me on her taxes. i used the calculator and it said i would receive 300 but now im puzzled:confused: |

I don't think this is as they make it sound. I'm dubious. My friend is married and has one child they claimed. To me based off the IRS website she gets $1200 for married couple plus $300 for each qualifying child for a total of $1500. However she checked with our accountant the other day who said she will only get $900. The accoutants got the updated software supposedly and said that it is a bit more involved then the IRS leads on. It's also dependant on other facts such as if you file a schedule C and stuff like that. So we shall see. |
I'm not going to get one because my parent's claimed me. :( |
Does anyone know when the checks are supposed to be mailed out? Thanks. Elaine |
