Will I get a rebate check?

Question

If my mother claimed me and I am a dependent will I still get a rebate check? I work and made the amount required.

Answer 1

If you are claimed as a dependent, you will be ineligible for the rebate, but you may still benefit under the plan.

While the rebate depends on your 2007 status and income, it is actually a rebate toward your 2008 taxes. According to the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, taxes would be cut in 2008 from 10 percent to zero percent on the first $6,000 dollars of taxable income for individual taxpayers.

So if you have taxable income in 2008, you will see a tax cut when you file in 2009.

Answer 2

No, you can not get it if someone else claimed you.

Answer 3

No, dependents are not eligible.
