Comments on: Want the Scoop on the Tax Rebate Checks? http://fabulousfinancials.com/2008/01/want-the-scoop-on-the-tax-rebate-checks.html The journey of a fabulous single mom pursuing financial independence Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:00:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Erin http://fabulousfinancials.com/2008/01/want-the-scoop-on-the-tax-rebate-checks.html#comment-7770 Erin Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:42:30 +0000 http://fabulousfinancials.com/2008/01/want-the-scoop-on-the-tax-rebate-checks.html#comment-7770 Gotcha-I thought maybe I was the one confusing you with my post :) Oh-I think I read AGI, but at this point, who knows. I'm going to assume it's 2006 tax year info, since not everyone files by April 15th so it would be hard for the Govt to go by 2007 returns and still get everyone their checks in time. But that's just my best guess. Once the Senate passes this, and I know they are working to get it passed super quick, *hopefully* they'll release the official guidelines they are going to use. I agree with Lisa. I think they need to get the checks to people before June. If they wait that long it won't be until 3rd or 4th quarter that the results will start showing up in the economy. And who knows what will happen between now and June! Gotcha-I thought maybe I was the one confusing you with my post :)

And based on what tax year? 2006, 2007, etc? I'm skirting on the edge so what they use will determine if I'll be getting one.

Thanks for the link. If you make more than $3,000 a year, but less than $174,000 you'll get a rebate. If you make between $150,000-174,000 you'll get a rebate but the amount will be less than others. Plus $300 extra for Babygirl! It's kind of confusing, and they keep changing the details so I have trouble keeping up. Hi Single Ma! Thanks for the link.
