CNNMoney.com posted a good article for anyone that is still curious about the tax rebate checks that will be coming in a few months. I think the most important part is this:
People who have already filed their 2007 tax returns and reported at least $3,000 in qualifying income don’t need to do anything else. The IRS will assess their rebate eligibility and send a check to those who qualify. Qualifying income for the purposes of the rebate includes wages and salaries, Social Security benefits and certain veterans’ and retired railroad workers benefits.
I knew that my taxes were going to be really easy this year because I only had one stock sale in November so I filed the day after I got my w2. I was actually quite impressed that the IRS had the money deposited into my account within 2 weeks. Based on my past experiences with the IRS, I do not normally hold my breath waiting for them.
