re: YES this is a stimulus check question!!

I filed through Turbo Tax and still received the direct deposit when the IRS posted I would based upon my social security number... K.

Quoting enjjones85:“ I didn't read everyones post, So sorry if someone already posted this. lol How Much Will You Get? Qualifying ... [snip!] ... in income from Social Security and veterans disability will get rebate checks of $300 for individuals and $600 for couples.”

We dont get SSI or vet assistant.

I got this from the IRS website
Q. Is my stimulus payment taxable?
A. No. You will not owe tax on your payment when you file your 2008 federal income tax return. But you should keep a copy of the IRS letter you receive later this year listing the amount of your payment.
Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?
A. No, the stimulus payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.

Thank gosh! Bc she scared me!!

Quoting Aubreys Mommy ♥:“ We dont get SSI or vet assistant.”

Well maybe this could be why

What if You Made More than the Maximum Income?
You will still get a check, but it will be reduced by 5-percent of the amount you earned above the AGI income caps of $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for couples. For example: A single filer with no children and an adjusted gross income of $80,000, or $5,000 over the AGI cap, will see their rebate check reduced by $250 (5% of $5,000), and will get a check for $350, instead of $600. At some income point above the AGI income caps, the rebate checks will phase out completely. For example: A single filer with no kids and an adjusted gross income of $87,000, or $12,000 over the AGI cap, will not get a rebate check because it would be reduced by the full $600 (5% of $12,000).

I think that if you got 300 for each one of your kids and at least 300 for every adult who made over $3000 in the year then your return was prob. right! I'm sure that they know what their doing lol.

Thanks for the clarification.... I am totally confused now because that is what they paper said that I recieved in the mail from H&R Block... (which is where we filed our taxes).. Now i am totally confused. I guess I should go by what the IRS says but I do have a problem trusting the government..jk...

I hope your right.. Thanks

Probably, but in any case Im wondering why one got more than the other, when we have a dependent and our friend doesnt.

This whole thing has been so confusing! There have been sooooo many different places saying so many different things that it's hard to know what is the truth! I have followed what the IRS has said, and so far it has been accurate.

Quoting Aubry's Mommy [Krystal]:“ Annual income below 15,000 only gets 300. Anything above that is the 600 dollars. Hope that helps!”

That can't be right. I made well over $15,000 and only got $300 for myself.

Quoting irishmamaofalmost2:“ I dont know, I got a base amount for myself of 300 and 300 for my son, a total of 600, my dad who has no dependents anymore got the same as I did. I dont get it”

did you get the earned income credit on you tax returns? Cause I did but I didn't get the full 600. It's like they reduced it.

Quoting ♥ Mellow Yellow &:“ did you get the earned income credit on you tax returns? Cause I did but I didn't get the full 600. It's like they reduced it.”

Thats what someone told me they heard on the news. They are reducing the amount they are giving to everyone.  

Quoting Heather ♥ Chelsie:“ It's all about your income and certian deductions. the base rate is $300 for an individual, and $600 for a couple, plus the $300 per dependant.”

It's supposed to be $1200 for married couples filing jointly.
Also you can get up to $600 on the stimulus payment.
