Thanks Janet! Yeah, we were talking about just putting the rebate (if we get one) in a CD or something since we would have to claim it next year. But I had read this thing about stipulations regarding the rebate. Like if you make over 75,000 as a single person, you don't qualify for the standard amount. Or how, you have to have made at least 3,000 for the year to qualify for the rebate as well. But I also read that if you owe on your taxes, that they take out from the rebate what you owe.
So, like for our family, we fall within the income guidelines, and have two children. So as a married couple we would get 1200 back, and then 300 per child. So 1800 total. But hypothetically, say we owe 2,000 on our taxes....does that mean that we wouldn't get the rebate? But then that doesn't make sense to me either because you have to file by April, but the rebate doesn't come back until May. So for the people that owe on their taxes, they would have paid that in April when they filed. So I didn't get how that would get taken out of the rebate in May if you had already paid it. If that made any sense! LOL
