I watched the Sean Hannity show last night for about ten minutes.  In this one segment it seems the $4500 rebate the buyers are receiving is taxable.  This amount (4500) is counted as regular income.  I wonder how many of these knew this.  Now not only do most have a car note now, they most likely have a tax liability they weren't counting on.  I think a better name would have been cash for suckers.

Hi John, Well, it seems that the "good" news just keeps coming in all the time, doesn't it? -lol. I agree, most of the people that traded in their clunkers were most likely not aware of the tax liability.

Ah of course there was a catch. I feel bad for those unaware. And for the dealers who I read apparently are experiencing problems with this program.

Best,

Michael

Hi John:

I didn't know that....that's the first that I heard it's taxable.

Well, I didn't take advantage of that program anyway....

lets hope they don't try this on the $8000 tax credit. But, like most government programs the devil is in the details.
