Am I getting a stimulus package? i calimed zero?

Question

i know people who still recieved one after claiming 0. they say you get one as long as you filed and made as low as 3K

Answer 1

No, if you claimed zero on your return you were saying that someone else could claim you as a dependent, so you aren't eligible.

If you mean you claimed zero on your W-4, that has nothing to do with the stimulus, it's what's on your actual return.  If you claimed yourself on your return, then you get a stimulus check.

Answer 2

Claiming 0 on your W-4 has no bearing on your stimulus.  If you filed single on your 2007 tax form, you should have claimed yourself, which would be 1 exemption.

Answer 3

What you claimed on your W4 is irrelevant.

It is based on your income and tax liability for 2007 as well as whether or not someone else claimed you as a dependent.
