Confused About IRS Rebate Checks? Get Your Answers Here.

i think this video is from 2008 b/c the guy said to file your 2007 tax return...

I spoke with an IRS agent who informed me that in order to receive my 2008 stimulus check I would have had to have filed a 2007 1040. I did not work in 2007. She then informed me that If there was no 1040 for 2007 that you will not receive a stimulus check for 2008.

Is this true? I do know people who didn't file last year and received a check. I am confused.

HEY IF YOU ARE DISABLE YOU DON'T FILE TAXE'S!!!

if you are disabled you still need to file your taxes. If you have a spouse that earned money and you file joint your disability it NOT taxed, if you file married separate then your income IS taxed, IRS says about 49 percent is taxable if you file separate. My first husband was disabled for 12 years and when I worked full time it was better to file joint that way his disability checks were not taxable.

Yes you will definitely be held responsible for his children at tax time if you all file jointly. The only thing that I would suggest is that when you file file hardship that way they may not take any because these were his debts incurred before you met him

Anytime you work they will take out taxes. Whether you get a total refund depends on how much you make this year. If you make enough to file (roughly $3200.00) the IRS will keep what is owed them. If you make less than the minimum then you will get a total refund of all taxes you paid through your paychecks. Look at your last paycheck of the year, if you made $3195.00 and they took out $55 in federal taxes you will get the full $55 back in your refund, but do not count the SSA or Medicare taxes, those you will not get back. It is better to file your taxes even if you didn't make enough to file. Because you will get all your tax money back at the end of the tax season.

Yes you will. It is called a recovery rebate and it will be added onto your refund check. Thats what I got because I did not file taxes last year and I didn't work but I still got a recovery rebate.

YES, the IRS will keep ALL money you are entitled to from your taxes & stimulus checks. When it comes to outstanding student loans, they can and will garnish your wages if you are working. It doesn't matter if you have children you are trying to support yourself. They have been taking money from my taxes for a few years now. Once I got married again last year they took my husbands tax refunds & his stimulus check, he had to file a injured spouse form to get his part of the refunds & stimulus back.

I am sorry about your daughter, but I think she is beyond the age (18) to be claimed as a dependent. However, if she may be entitled to collect SSI or disability benefits. Her medical expenses will be picked up by Medicaid, and she could be entitled to a number of free services. It will depend on how long she has been out of school and having these tumors.

If you know his social security number and how he filed, you may be able to tell if he got it.

It's headline is :how much was my stimulus payment?

It asks 3 questions, which are:

Social security number.
Filing status:
Single
Married-Filing Joint Return
Married-Filing Separate Return
Head of Household
Qualifying Widow (er)

And number of Exemptions.

If you are not sure how he filed or how many exemptions you can just play around on it and guess, may take a while but it can work.

My Husband forgot how many exemptions we had so I had to try it 3 times, entering his social, how we filed and then tried 1 exemptions, and said incorrect info, then 2 exemptions, and same thing happened and finally the third time it worked.

Once you enter the correct information it will either say no stimulus rebate was received or it will tell you how much he received and how it came to that much, such as so much per spouse/child he claimed.

I hope this helps, any other questions I can help with, my e-mail is Mommy_uv_two@yahoo.com
GOOD LUCK, MELISSA

I dont know how it works where you live but the child support office froze my deadbeat ex-wife's income tax check and stimulus check last year and gave it to me to catch up some of her back child support. You could call your local child support office and they could maybe find out what he is getting back or if he is getting a stimulus check or not. Hope this helps and good luck getting your kid's money out of the deadbeat.

The same thing happened to me and they dropped what we were suppose to get and it is not holding up my tax return check.

Your not alone, it happened to me and i filed not knowing any better, now i'm going directly to the IRS and will never use Turbo Tax again.

Called the Recovery Rebate Credit. You can only claim the credit if you DIDN'T get a rebate in 2007. That's why your taxes would be lower if you put in that you never got any stimulus money before.

it"not taxable but they hold it out of the amount you get,my wife and i they did the same thing to us, you are just paying the stimulus check back to from 2008. i know,

if you can find and answer, please share it with me!! I am wondering the same thing! thequeenhabib@yahoo.com

No matter what the circumstances are between you and the father, even if you were married and he filed separately, this information will not be given to you.

Hope this helps.

I don't have an answer to this, but would like one. I can't find any deposits in my accounts for $600 or $1200. I know I received a check, but don't remember how much. Please let me know if anyone has a way to check on this.

I didn't receive my rebate check for 2007 what do I do? How can I receive it?

You must have made at least: $9,350 if you are under age 65 or $10,750 if you are at least age 65. Did you receive a W2 or any forms from the university stating how much you paid for tuition or anything? Does someone else claim you on their tax return? You would want to file in order to get money back you paid in during the tax year, but if you didn't make any money at all during 2008 then it might not matter. I say call the IRS to get answers about your specific situation.

I saw this interesting publication when looking through the changes for this year and it's a way for you to see if you meet all the requirements. It's called Innocent Spouse Relief and it's publication 971. You can review the entire publication on line through the irs.gov website.

“Individuals,” “Tax Information for Innocent Spouses,” and
“Explore if you are an Eligible Innocent Spouse.”

I was in a similar situtation back in the 80's and this would have been a life saver for me. Hope it works for you.

A: It is often more beneficial to file jointly when you are married because there are special tax credits for married couples that can only be claimed filing jointly. It does, however, depend on your situation and it is worthwhile to do the numbers both ways and then see which comes out best. If your taxes tend to be too complicated to do yourself then I suggest a visit with a tax consultant to find out which wold be best for you because asking a question on the internet will not get you all the answers you need specific to you.

Filing separately usually happens when:
* One spouse wants to file taxes, but the other doesn't.
* One spouse is self-employed, and the other doesn't want to be responsible for any tax problems.
* One spouse owes taxes, and the other would get a refund.
* You are separated but not yet divorced.

But, there are many headaches involved in filing separately (both have to take itemized or both take standard, state taxes are a pain in many states, etc.) that I can’t even imagine the strangely specific scenario in which filing separately truly makes both financial and psychological sense.

B: A bit of advice not directly related to the taxes part - It sounds like your fiance doesn't just owe on student loans, he must have defaulted on paying those loans and now the government is taking it out of his taxes to ensure he pays because he was irresponsible in the past. Whatever happens, do not ever consolidate his loans with yours (if you have any) or add your name to his student loans. If something were to happen to him in the future and your name is on the loan in any way you will be responsible for repaying it. But, with student loans as long as he keeps it just in his name, if he were die before you you will not be responsible for repaying it. This is a specific aspect that makes student loans beneficial.

C: Getting money back at the end of year is not necessarily a good thing. It means the IRS is keeping money you did not owe over the year and they are collecting interest on your money. They are just giving it back to you after you file. Your goal should actually be to not owe any but get little none back if possible. That way you collect interest on your money over the year!

If you file married separate your check should be your own. Good luck

They will take your money. You have to file Married file separate or you will not see a penny. My husband owed money for child support and they took his money every year so my tax person advise me to file married separate. If you have an accountant or a tax person they should be able to help you. I strongly advice do not file jointly.

Hopefully Helpful

The 2009 Stimulus is mainly for disabled people. My mother-in-law is disabled and she is receiving a "one time only" check of $250.00
I think this applies to all disabled people and people getting social security.

Hope this helps.

He needs to file an injured spouse form. I am confused, how did you file together if your not married???

if not married you need to file an amended return and each file your own returns. If you are married he has to file an injured spouse form saying these were your debts and he shouldn't be penalized for your debts.

www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8379.pdf

That's "you're" as in "you are"

You can't file a joint return with your boyfriend, period. You have to be married....

I am sooo sorry, but your refund is gone. Since you filed a joint tax return, you are saying that, the money is both of yours. Since you owe money in default student loans that money goes straight towards the balance of the loan and every tax return you have will continue to do so until it is paid off. It doesnt matter that he wasnt your boyfriend in college the IRS has a red flag on your name for the default loan and any money going to you through the goverment will automatically be paid to the loan. In some instances these student loan companies can take money out of your bank accounts and withhold your paychecks. Best thing to do is contact the student loan company and set up a payment plan so they wont take any of these actions. But for the refund that you were owed, its too late. Just make sure you contact them immediatly before you lose any more money...

Hope this helps... Good luck to you and your family

Yes, my mother-in-law is disabled and gets an ssi check and she is getting a "one time only" check of $250.00.
That is what the 2009 stimulus checks are mainly for. disabled and social security income.

hope this helps.

SSI reciepients will get a stimulus check. They don't have to do anything special to get it. You will automatically receive it in the mail sometime during May.

Yes you can still get the earned income credit for both of your kids. Tell the person who prepares your return they were both students. When your children prepare their personal taxes there is a question if anyone else can claim them as a dependent. They answer yes to this question. They will no longer get an exemption for themselves (usually this has no effect because there is no taxable income) and will get the same amount (what they paid in fed) back. If you do not prepare them yourself please make sure your tax preparer answers the questions correctly so you will get the money you are entitled to.

have already received my fed taxes and was wondering when the stimulus check will arrive? Also how much will it be?

The stimulus check is supposed to be in the amount of $250. They are supposed to be issued in May of this year.

I was under the impression that there would not be ANY stimulas payments in the form of checks in the mail like last year. My understanding is that we will see this stimulas payment in our paychecks from our employers; which I am already seeing and my employer issueed a notice that I would about 2 weeks ago. I'm confused. Will I receive a stimulas check in the mail?
