I filed my tax return in January 2008 prior to receiving anyn information of the qualifications. I received a notice that earned income must excied $3000. plus Social Security benifits. This would qualifiy myself and wife for the stimulus check. After not receiving the check I contacted the recordint that stated I did not earn enough twared the $3000.and would not receive a check. They did not give us credit for our Social Security income. My wife and I are both 75 yrs old, on a fixed income that puts in the very low income bracket. I find thei program to be ludicrous to give the funds to those who are able to work and not providing for those who need it. If you can offer any advice as what I can do about this, I would appreciate your comments.

MY husband and I were married in September 2007- we ended up filing jointly as I didn’t pay enough taxes last year and that was our best bet for this tax season. I have been making installment payments for tax year 2006 (had nothing to do with my husband) and still owed $1200- they have taken my stimulus check, and his too. I filled out and sent in a Form 8379 with our 2007 W-2’s and haven’t received a response or a check for my husband. I have spent hours on the line waiting for someone at the IRS to pick up the phone…………..and haven’t been able to speak with anyone- trying get some sort of answer as when we can expect to see this? And when I can expect to start up my payments again? I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hello… I was reading a previous comment with “Jim” and you stated that if you were not eligible for the stimulus check this year, that you would be able to be reconsidered for the 2008->2009 tax season. My mother claimed be “dependent” for this previous tax season because I was still in college for the first half of the year (I did have income from a part time job), then I began working at my fulltime professional job 2 weeks following graduation. I understand that I am not eligible for this stimulus check (grr unfortunately!!), but is my understanding correct that I will be eligible next year given my situation? Thank you so much, this was a great help by the way!!

My wife changed her last name from her maiden name to my last name. However, the IRS records did not show that so we did not receive the stimulus check that would have been $1,500 (with 1 child). I spent hours talking to the IRS where they told me there is nothing I can do, I am not eligible for the rebate. Finally I went down to the local IRS office, where they told me I should not worry, as long as the social security office fixes the problem and sends the correct infor to IRS before my 2008 tax fileing date (4/15/2009) I should get full refund in 2009. Sounds good. Should I believe it? What else can I do to make sure I wiull get the monbey. (I wrote to my congresman and senator already)>
Thanks

Hi,
My stimulus check was just garnished for an old federal student loan. I have received Social Security for some years now. Will they now start to garnish y monthly payments as well?

I’m confused. I’ve had people tell me different things. If you are a single parent with a 12 yr. old child, how much should you receive? I was told 300 for parent 300 for child, then I was told 300 for child 600 for parent. Please help!! I already received 600. My friend was sent a letter stating there was a miscalculation and she is to get 300 ore on top of her 600. I don’t know how she filed though. Can you explain to me exactly how it’s figured?

hello, in refereence to the economic stimulus payment and the filing of bankruptcy, on page 4,5, of the H.R. 5140 BILL OF THE 110TH CONGRESS section 2(d) refunds disregarded in the administration of federal programs and federal assisted programs,further the bill states that the funds will not be applied as an offset to determine eligibily towards benifits or assistance under any federal program or under any state or local programs financed in whole or in part with federal funds. does this help all you bankruptcy filers?hope this information will shed some light on the issues.not sure why the congress would give free money and then let trustees take the funds the people well deserve for being a cooperative citizen, this is a serious contract between the people and the president of the us. thank you for reading this well informed information.

Are you sure this is FREE MONEY? Are you sure we will never have to pay this back some time after 2008 tax year? Where did this money come from? Isn’t this just corporate welfare? Won’t the gas companies get a large share of this FREE MONEY in the long run? There is something really rotten in Denmark? Nothing in this world is free - and if it is - it ain’t worth much. These are not rhetorical questions.

Hi,
My case is a peculiar one. We had to file the 2007 tax return form (MFJ) using my(not primary) ITIN even though I had my valid SSN(got the no in 2007 itself) coz e-filing was rejecting my SSN . We have a child(has SSN). My husband has valid SSN too.Our AGI is 70,000.
What do we do now to get the stimulus rebate.
