How To Use The Rebate

HOW TO USE YOUR REBATE TO HELP THE U.S. ECONOMY

As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each
and every one of us would now get a nice rebate.

If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs.

If we purchase a computer it will all go to India.

If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras,
and Guatemala.

If we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan.

If we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will
help the American economy.


We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep
that money here at home is to buy beer, since those are the only
businesses still in the US.

[RamboPreacher]

i'll believe it when I see it.
what will I spend it on? might buy a gallon of milk or a dozen eggs.

This is what I got from doing a "google - government rebates" its only part of the info. but it gives us an idea when it should be expected.
It was also on the last nights news.

IRS Rebate Latest Info

Monday 3/17/08 UPDATE: IRS Finally Releases Mailing Dates

The following information is courtesy the Detroit Free Press, which has listed the information very succinctly. Here’s how the checks will roll out:

If you file your return on time and request that your federal income tax refund is directly deposited, the stimulus payments will directly go into your bank account by May 2 if the last two digits of your Social Security number are 00-20.

If the last two digits are 21-75, the date to remember is May 9.

If the last two digits are 76-99, you’d get that money by May 16.

But if you do not use direct deposit to get your federal income tax refund – or you are paying taxes owed when you file that 2007 return – you’re going to get your tax rebate check later. The rollout times are more complicated, too.

If your last two digits of your Social Security number are 00-09, you could expect that rebate check to be mailed by May 16.

It’s by May 23 if the last two digits are 10-18.

It’s May 30 if the digits are 19-25.

It’s June 6 if the digits are 26-38.

It’s June 13 if the digits are 39-51.

It’s June 20 if the digits are 52-63.

It’s June 27 if the digits are 64-75.

It’s July 4 if the digits are 76-87.

It’s by July 11 if the digits are 88 -99 and the person did not use direct deposit of a refund this year – or if you wrote a check to cover money owed for the 2007 tax year.

I'll be glad when it gets here. They have been extremely unclear on how much you'll get back. Saying you'll get up to $1200 as a couple and up to $300 for each dependent (I can't remember what the max dependents were though). But basically my wife and I could get up to $1800, wonder how much of that we'll actually get.

I heard on the local news the other night that it is felt that many people will be using their rebates to pay bills, rather than buy large ticket items to stimulate the economy.

I think my large ticket purchase will be gas.

[JanB]

By June, it should get me a couple tanks of gas.

Did you get your letter? Wow, it looks like hubby and I may get 1200.00 from this rebate program.

[sweetpea]

Yes,we got the same letter,sure hope we do.I will be putting mine back to buy odds and inns for my new house in Texas.

[Susie Hamilton]

I had to deliver those letters all day a few days ago and when I got home I had one as well.

[crispfin]

I wonder who the money would go to if I spent it all on comics to make penance for the 'bout a year I haven't been purchasing . . .
