By Michelle Oddis

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
