&lt;p&gt;Opps...did u just over spend yourself in SG........but again I
thought the higher you pay the more you get your return?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my wife took hers to pay for a facial and dental....and I pay
for the rest....&lt;img src=

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nope. According to the IRS website, you get the full rebate
amount up until the $75,000 AGI level. Above that, the rebate
amount progressively decreases until zero.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blardy IRS... penalizing taxpayers for being successful at their
jobs. Guess I'm going to have to find some way to reduce my 2008
tax liabiity by $500 to "make up" for their stupidity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;According to the IRS website, based on the last two digits of my
SSN I was supposed to have received an "economic stimulus payment"
check a few days after July 4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, it's three weeks after that date, and still no check. So I
went on their website and discovered that not all taxpayers were
eligible for the payment. A handy-dandy calculator on the website
was available to determine eligibility, so I plugged in some
numbers from my 2007 tax return; the calculator digested all the
information--and concluded that I was &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; eligible for the
economic stimulus payment because my adjusted gross income was "too
high."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What the farking fark????&lt;/em&gt; I thought
&lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; taxpayers were eligible for the damn payment!!
Farking IRS... hope those bastards burn in hell!&amp;nbsp; &lt;img src=

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Has everyone gotten their checks? Some people received two.
&lt;img src="/images/emoticons/classic/icon_lol.gif" alt=

of a dent. &lt;img src="/images/emoticons/classic/icon_sad.gif" alt=

I like to fondle and feel the check and run it through my
fingers&amp;nbsp;before depositing it. A direct deposit is
too&amp;nbsp;cold, clinical and&amp;nbsp;impersonal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I'm old-fashioned...&amp;nbsp; &lt;img src=

&lt;p&gt;haha.........&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;anyways, i got my refund end of feb.&amp;nbsp; yes, i am an early
tax filer. ;-)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;According to the last two digits of my SSN, I'll be getting the
check sometime after July 4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of the rebate will likely be spent on gas; the remainer, on
food and ammunition.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
