YES this is a stimulus check question!!

Im not asking when we are supposed to get it and who got what & when. I am simply asking how much is one individual supposed to get? I thought basic amount was $600. Plus $300 for each dependent under the age of 17. We got the $300 for Aubrey... but Brian only got $300 basic amount for himself.

His friend who is the same age and has no kids got $600 basic amount. Why??  

did you get it in the mail today or direct deposited

plus i know you only get the 600 if you made enough, you have to make a certain amount to qualify for the full 600 per individual

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

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.

I dunno, but I saw on the news yesterday, people weren't getting theirs, or were getting the wrong amount because the IRS was direct depostiting the money into the wrong accounts!

It depends on your income from last year. I figured up that we were suppose to get 1800 back, but we ended up getting 1200 back. 300 for each adult and 300 for each qualifying child.

Annual income below 15,000 only gets 300. Anything above that is the 600 dollars.

Hope that helps!

You can go to the website and put your ssn and how you filed and it'll tell you when it should be mailed and how much.

it all depends on how much was paid in or what not. we only got $963 for the both of us . They changed it at the last moment from what i hear

Quoting oh_baby:“ plus i know you only get the 600 if you made enough, you have to make a certain amount to qualify for the full 600 per individual”

Maybe thats why. But we got an email from Turbo Tax saying even though we had our income tax directed deposit, we are still receiving a paper check by May 23rd.

You are not "supposed" to get $600. It is UP TO $600 per individual. So they could very well give you $1. Everyone just over looks those too little words because they are so excited about the "free money".

Quoting ♥Hailee's Mama:“ You can go to the website and put your ssn and how you filed and it'll tell you when it should be mailed and how much.”

I did... thats why Im asking.

it's based on your income from you taxes, I don't know how much I'm getting yet since I've gotten two different answers from the calculater thing.

Q. I received my stimulus payment, but it was less than what my friends and neighbors received. Why?
A. Your economic stimulus payment will be based on information provided on your 2007 income tax return.
Many, but not all, taxpayers qualify for the maximum basic payment of $600 for singles or $1,200 for married couples. Many parents are also receiving an additional $300 for each qualifying child, born after Dec. 31, 1990.
Your payment may be less than the maximum for one or more of the following reasons:

• You are single and your net income tax liability is less than $600. If you file Form 1040 net income tax liability is the amount shown on Line 57, plus the amount on Line 52. You are married and your net income tax liability is less than $1,200. You are single and your adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than $75,000. On Form 1040, AGI is the amount on Line 37. You are married filing a joint return and your AGI is more than $150,000. You owe back taxes. You have non-tax federal debts such as unpaid student loans or child-support obligations.

Around the same time you receive your payment, you will receive a notice from the IRS explaining how your payment was figured. It is important to keep this notice as a record of your economic stimulus payment. In addition, you’ll get a separate notice if you owe back taxes or non-tax debts.
