    This will have nothing to do with your tax return. $600 above and beyond. (though I'm sure the Gov't will make us claim it as income on next year's taxes).

    Someone else told me this too. I don't recall claiming it on my taxes when we got the $300 tax rebate some years back. Why would we have to pay taxes on a tax rebate? Just doesn't make sense to me. :rolleyes:

    tax rebates aren't taxed.

    at least they weren't in the past.
    Jam out with your clam out.

    But it was only $300 last time. Anything over $600 is subject to taxation, so I fully expect we'll get checks in June and 1099's in January.

    how much will you guys have after tipping the tax assistant who gave you your $600?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    pretty sure Ed makes over the limit. Don't think he'll be seeing the $1200.

    What did he make last year? After the expenses to fly Boom's fresh poi and roasted boar in for every show, the European tour was a break even.

    that rebate isn't completely approved yet. And it keeps dropping too. Originally said it would be 800 bucks, then to 600, I heard Larry King and Suze Orman this weekend saying its down to 300 now. Basically, be grateful if you even get a penny.

    I haven't seen the final plan, but I do not think I'll be receiving it. Figures...

    haha. the other day i was riding the elevator with a bunch of accountants in my firm and we were discussing it. one asked if anyone knew what the salary cap was to receive it and i said 'if you have to ask, you don't need it'......:p we all had a good laugh....and he said he liked the new 'spin' of that phrase. ;)


    i really haven't been following it, so who knows? i think really it's a waste. billions in debt, but let's throw people a meager bone eh? lame.

    The people who pay the most taxes should get the biggest rebate IMO...

    i don't think there should even BE a rebate.
    and, i believe the lame-ass rationale for this rebate is to stimulate the economy. i also believe the thought process here, rightly or wrongly, is that if the wealthiest americans are given a rebate, they will merely stick it in the bank, b/c they already have and spend as they want - thus will do nothing to *stimulate* the economy. whereas people of lower socio-economic status more than likely WILL spend it, on something....whether to pay down debt or to buy some big ticket item, etc...which DOES *stimulate* the economy. not saying what's right or wrong here....just saying the REASON for the rebate has a LOT to do with who gets it and how much.

    I understand the reason for the stimulus, but it's pretty lame to just assume that a so-called "wealthy" person is just going to put it in the bank and therefore doesn't deserve one.

    And who really thinks that $75K/year means a person is wealthy?

    i agree, on all counts. :)
    and i already said...i just think the entire idea for the rebate is LAME. you bet i'll take the money happily if they give it out and i qualify.....but absolutely, i think it could be far better spent, period.

    Does every taxpayer get this? I know families get more, and you get more per child, but is this refund going to EVERYONE?
