Minor rebate, but a rebate. It got rejected by fed because I didn't add in the $600 stimulus check from last year. I resubmitted it with that check included and now I owe. And get this when you add the rebate I would have gotten before I enteredt the check, plus now what I owe it comes to $600. So the feds cut me the stimulus check and now are asking for it back. What then is the point of that check? Anyone else run into this?

They were factoring in that you had not gotten a stimulus check, and if your situation had changed this year, then you would be eligible for that back payment this year. By saying that you hadn't received it, they then were giving you $600. But since you went back and put that you had received it, they didn't give you it. It's not like they're taking it away. I bet you voted Obama too.

I didn't try printing but I haven't printed anything the last few years because TT keeps all of that on file. And thanks to having a crappy job and the EIC I'm getting back nearly twice what I put in this year. Yay for mooching.

It won't get posted until Feb 1, but that's the earliest you can get it, so that's fine. Anti, aren't you a little old to get an EIC? How can anyone support themselves and still qualify for EIC? Does your mommy claim you as a dependant.

You do not add your stimulus check..read the instructions or check out the IRS website or the hundreds of articles written about this.

Posts: 4041 (01/27/09 8:09 PM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Economic Stimulus Payments Tax Free Economic stimulus payments are not taxable, and they are not reported on 2008 tax returns. However, the stimulus payment does affect whether a taxpayer can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit and how much credit he or she can get. The credit is figured like last year's economic stimulus payment except that the amounts are based on tax year 2008 instead of 2007. A taxpayer may qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit if, for example, she did not get an economic-stimulus payment or had a child in 2008. See Fact Sheet 2009-3 for details. In most cases, the IRS can figure the credit. The instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ have more information. From the IRS website

Foreign credits rock. Except I owe more than I thought to Canookia.

You do not add your stimulus check..read the instructions or check out the IRS website or the hundreds of articles written about this. You don't add the stimulus check, correct. But there was an error that auto-popped up when e-filing with the IRS, when you input a different amount other than what the IRS has on record, your e-filed return would get rejected. The best way to check the amount that the IRS has on record is here: IRS How Much Was My Stimulus Payment passionatepiscesman, turbotax deluxe w/ state and e-file allows 5 returns/e-files with a downloaded state. It was initially 1 return with a $15 charge for every return after (a ripoff) but intuit changed it (thankfully).
