Eric- I guess that you havent finished your tax return yet?

Tax Rebate Update- I found this article online at Yahoo Buzz:

 Usually a missive with an Internal Revenue Service return address is about as welcome as a dusting of poison ivy.

Offer a little stimulus, however, and taxpayers can't wait. So, understandably, initial reports that 15,000 taxpayers would not be getting an IRS love letter sent the Buzz into a tizzy. Fortunately, that number turned out to be much smaller: Only 1,500 checks have been inadvertently wired to the wrong accounts. (Don't even think of keeping it!) Out of 30 million bits of ... um ... stimuli, that's an error rate of just .005%, give or take a decimal point. At least the IRS didn't toy with taxpayer affections like the agency did back in 2001.                     

Except there's another small snafu: The IRS also 'fessed up to forgetting to send out 300-dollar child refunds to as many as 350,000 households. Before you ask: The IRS will mail another letter copping to the error, and the checks will follow in July. The upside: The U.S. Post Office must be raking it in from its repeat customer.

By the way, if you did get a check but not your full share, SavvySugar points out that the IRS has kindly deducted back taxes or other debts in advance. 

Despite all this, the government agency should feel swamped with affection. How have people loved the IRS in the past month? Let us count a few of the searches: "2008 tax rebate checks tax return" (+14,579%), "government rebate checks 2008" (+13,085%), "tax stimulus checks" (+5,798%), "federal tax rebate" (+652%), "600 dollar tax refund 2008" (+566%), "bush tax refund 2008" (+300%), and "2008 federal kicker checks rebate checks" (off the charts). The most frequent query? "When will I get my tax rebate check."

The lovefest may not stop. SavvySugar notes that a rebate repeat may be possible next year, in this IRS article found under the section "Not eligible at the current time?" Who says you can't buy love?

Very funny Lori Franks I hope its not true?! :) Im still waiting tooooooooooo!!

Chris good you got yours. Seems if you paid your taxes by direct deposit you got your rebate the same way speeding up the process.

If you paid your taxes on april 15th you are supposed to give Uncle Sam 5 to 7 weeks (May 27th) to send out your tax rebate check. At least thats what it says on the irs.gov website!

Shayne the IRA doesnt send checks but the IRS does! :)

Very funny Shayne

Who would have thought that now in Sept 2008 we would have bankruptcies and federal takeovers of some of the biggest financial institutions in the U.S.?

According to the meda this was all started by the subprime mortgage mess and irresponsible mortgage companies! where will this stop?

Disabled Veterans out there who didnt make enough income and didnt get a tax rebate. If you receive VA disability benefits that are not taxable you may be eligible to amend your 2007 tax return with an IRS 1040X form to include these benefits and receive a tax rebate!

The same may be true for anyone receiving Social Security benefits as well!
