is the rebate taxed?

I haven't looked into this yet.

If it is, I'll buy a cup of coffee..and maybe a scone.

if you go to Starbucks, it'll be just the scone!

eta: this is weird...it says checks are in the mail but it's a tentative deal.

and the joint salary is capped at $150,000



It hasn't been signed yet.

Where does it say check is in the mail?


Checks could be in taxpayer mailboxes by June, according to an Associated Press report.



also, I read somewhere else that after $150,000 per couple, there is still a rebate, but it decreases. I'll try to find that.


ETS: found the other article and this is what it says:

The rebates would phase out gradually for individuals whose adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 and for couples with incomes above $150,000. Contributions to IRA and 401(k) retirement accounts and health savings accounts would not count toward the income limit.



Here is the link to the article. HTHChat Icon

I was also hoping that they would extend unemployment claims as well. The Dems wanted it but it didn't pass.

It has not been approved yet. Yes, if you make the amount of money in the category then you will get the rebate.

Definitely for the house. We need a new washer/dryer or some yard work by the time the check actually gets to us.
