Anyone who used Turbo Tax get their stimulus check yet?

[K Frame]

I think it starts phasing down at $75k annual salary.

Mine came overnight. Wife is pissed because I told her $600 is going towards new tires on her car. She was thinking money towards a leather lazy boy.

Tell her you'll wear a leather jacket and nap all day on the sofa, see if that qualifies.

I efiled and haven't gotten mine yet.  I'm sure there'll be someway I wont get one. =\

[Manedwolf]

Most of mine goes into savings, a bit towards finishing an STG-58, just in case we get a president that says "NO FAL FOR YOU".

Unfortunately, no.   You had to of made at least $3000 in 2007 in order to get the stimulus check.  I only made $1200 or so.

Yeah, looking at IRS it says that you had to have at least $600 in tax liability.  For a single, I think that works out to more than $3k of income.

Now that can't be right, because we had no tax liability at all and just got $900 in our account.  We had around $6000 of income though.

No, because I didn't make enough to get a stimulus check.  I did get my rebate checks on the 25th, though.

All you had to do was file.  Everybody gets the stimulus check.

I believe there was a cap at the maximum amount of money  you could have made before you were disqualified for the stimulus check as well, but I don't recall what it was.

Yes indeed. Ticked me off. I made just a couple of hundred dollars short of $3000. 

[Mabs2]

Crap, really?  I only made $400 last year.  How is it that people who make more than me need the money and I don't?

I called her at work and told her when her appointment was. I could hear the disappointment in her voice on the phone.

It's not that you don't need the money, it's that you didn't pay any taxes to get a rebate on.

[The Annoyed Man]

A leather lazy boy?  Apparently she's not planning on being nekkid in it.

Hell, if it is required to have $3000 in taxable income I maybe screwed then.  Made less than that last year since 11 of 12 months were tax free because of being in Iraq.
