Damn, that was fast! I thought these tax refund checks weren't going to be trickling in till fall. She used it to pay bills. I told her she was supposed to spend it to help the economy. I know that's what I'm going to do. To hell with my bills! :D

I betcha The People's Republic of Taxachusetts will find a way to enact a Retroactive Federal Income Tax Adjustment Service Fee and my $800 will somehow become $137.29.

The story I read the other day said they weren't starting to send out the tax rebate checks until July.

I can't wait to wave mine under the noses of some of my co-workers. "You never see it tax cut! All politicians, they are liars!" Yeah, then what's this? :D

If you were are in the 15% tax bracket when you filled your 2000 tax return now you are in the newly created 10% bracket

Your rebate check will be the difference between 15% tax on your Taxable Income and 10% tax on your taxable income.

You do the arithmetic. ;)

I don't know how my parents got so much back, $533.00. They're on a fixed income and it ain't much. I'm not too good at math (terrible in fact), but I hope I can get the full $600.00! Hell, I can buy one of them newfangled Palominos and then some!

<< Does everybody get one or is it only for select people? >>



According to the Dumbocrats...errr...Demoncrats....errr...Demorats.....errr...Democrats the tax cut is only for the rich.

Hope that I get a nice $300 check, allready got 170 from Feds, still waiting on 125 from VA...man are they slow. Oh well.....

I got a refund last year. I dont think I ended up paying much if any federal taxes. Does this mean I get no rebate?

The tax change implements a new 10% bracket for the first $6000 for single filers, first $10,000 for head of household, and $12,000 for joint filers. That bracket is currently 15%. The difference between the 15% and the 10% is being refunded retroactive to the beginning of this year.

Single filers get $300, head-of-household gets $500, and joint get $600. The only way to get less than those amounts is if your taxable income for last year wasn't as much as the above income levels, and then you get proportionally less.

Yeah that is a great way to advance your conservative political agenda...call names like an ignorant child. Grow up.

I have to agree there. Calling them &quot;dumbocrats&quot; just screams ignorance. Reminds me of playground names in elementary school.

Maybe I'm a prude, but I don't think &quot;Bush&quot; and &quot;Mom&quot; should be in the same sentence...

Uh, speaking of juvenile :confused:

That's funny, I never see you two &quot;guardians of all that is cerebral&quot; pipe up when RedDawn, I'm Typing, Ferocious or Shuxclams refer to Republiklans etc. over and over. Or is it just a given that they need to &quot;grow up&quot; too?
