No, the rebate check is an advance payment of a 2008 tax credit. The money is actually a portion of the refund or payment applied to the taxes you will file in 2009. Therefore as it is a refund check it is not taxable income.

Yes. No. The IRS, in Notice No. CP 1378, "Understanding Your Economic Stimulus Payment", mailed to recipients of the tax rebates, states "You will not be required to report the amount of your stimulus payment as taxable income on your 2008 federal income tax return."

Go to www.irs.gov, click on "When will I get my stimulus check?", click on "Economic Stimulus Payments Information Center", click on "Where is my stimulus payment?" and follow the directions. :)
Anyone making less than $3,000.00 in 2007 is not eligible for a stimulus check. Also, the economic stimulus law allows Social Security recipients and recipients of certain veterans' benefits and Railroad Retirement benefits to count those benefits towards the qualifying income requirement of $3,000. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as qualifying income for the stimulus payment.
Will I receive a stimulus check?
To get stimulus money, you can check if you qualify for any government assistance programs or economic relief packages. You may need to apply through official channels such as government websites or agencies.
No. the stimulus is just the same 2008 stimulus for people who did not receive the whole amount in 2008 and that was not taxable There is no 2009 stimulus check. Instead workers get a making work pay creidt. A refundable tax credit of up to $400 for working individuals and up to $800 for married taxpayers filing joint returns. This tax credit will be calculated at a rate of 6.2 percent of earned income and will phase out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income in excess of $75,000, or $150,000 for married couples filing jointly. Taxpayers who do not have taxes withheld by an employer during the year can also claim the credit on their 2009 tax return.
Has anyone said they can claim you as a dependent for the stimulus check?
