Stimulous Check Question?

Question

when i filed this year my father had to claim me for college purposes. However, I still had to file because i made over a certain amount of money. He just recently received his stimulus check and it was only 600.00. Why didnt he recieve the extra 300?

Answer 1

It could be because you are age 17 or older as of 12/31/2007.

Or, it could be that he received $300 for himself and $300 for you, if you are age 16 or younger.

Answer 2

The "extra $300" is only for children under on 12/31/2007.  If that applies to you he should have gotten the rebate.

Answer 3

Because you filed

Or, maybe he didn't receive the maximum of 600 and he really did receive the 300 for you as a dependent.

You need to check on www.irs.gov to be sure

Answer 4

I got the the full $1500...dont know why you didnt

Answer 5

A parent only gets extra for kids under 17 as of the end of 2007.  You are probably older than that.
