Yeah so I'm super pissed. this economic stimulus package thing, I no longer get it. As of 4-15-08 they changed it. Now if you are claimed as a dependent on any ones income tax (I am because my parents pay for my college) you get.....NOTHING! But my parents wont get anything because I am over 17. so yeah i am super pissed because I was going to stimulate the economy! And now no one gets this money. So stupid, college kids need money to!

 

 

You could be paying for college yourself, so I wouldn't be complaining if I were you.

 

true story. ive always thanked them for that to. but even they feel bad for me now

 

Damn my pic didnt work. Anyways, I feel your pain, its the feeling you get when others have $$$$ coming in and you get less (like tax returns)or none, its normal.

 

If you're a dependant, do you really think you deserve to spend other tax payer's money?

Just be glad your parents are paying for college. A lot of us are still paying for our student loans.

 

Fixed

 

Sorry Adam, gotta agree with him here!! Ya kinda left yourself wide open, lol

 

I got screwed too

Parents aren't paying my tuition though.

 

If it makes ya feel any better, i got screwed 'cause i made too much!!

 

I dont want to know how much you make, but what is the cutoff?

 

+1. I've paid taxes at the end of the year for the past 6 or 7 years. This is on top of the 9k I pay in Federal taxes per year already.....

 

mine should be in my account by the end of the week

 

If you have dependents and make 77K or greater you will get less, untill you get to a certain point and get none. I'm single with no dependents, and i made greater then 77K so i get none! I'm ok with that though

 

 

around $78,000 per individual and $150,000 per couple. After that you start getting pro-rated rebates (less money). I think once you hit $300K you don't get squat.

 

Actually you should be getting "something" back just not the full $600. Also I think the 77K is for your AGI (adjusted gross income). It might be even after you itemize your deductions.

 

If I made 300k a year, I wouldn't care about getting a $600 check. Speaking of that tax rebate, when are we supposed to get them?

 

depends on the last two digits of your SSN, mine is in the 70's so I don't get the rebate til the end of May.

EDIT: I guess I'm getting mine May 16th.

 

Yep, AGI is correct. Good to know that i may get something back still yet though!! I'll keep my eyes peeled!
