Rep. Walberg posted this blog today that includes many of the details I've been asked lately about rebates. The folks back home rarely contact me to ask about politics -- but when it comes to a check in their pocket -- you can bet they all want to know more.
Here are some of the facts put put out by Walberg Legislative Office.
The Basics for Tax Rebate Checks
· Most single taxpayers will get a rebate of $600.
· Most married couples who file jointly will get $1,200.
· Plus, you’ll get an extra $300 for each child under age 17 for whom you claim a child credit on your 2007 return.
· Low income seniors and disabled veterans (and their widows) who don’t owe enough income tax to qualify for the full rebate can qualify for checks of $300, or $600 if they filed joint returns.
These checks will be sent automatically, so no application form is necessary, as 2007 income will be used. CLICK HERE FOR THE CALCULATOR
