Understanding that it is a moving ball..changing daily.

All the proposals key off being based on the taxpayers 2007 adjusted gross income and filing status as shown on their return.

That's one reason that while they are speeding up the rebate, it still will be after the 4/15/2008 filing date for 2007 income.

Also, this is actually a rebate of the tax you already paid in 2008 anyway...which you would have gotten. The lowest rate for the lower incomes was brought to 0 in a prior law. This money just gets what is being withheld back to you sooner. (Higher bracket tax payers pay that same low rate on those amounts of earnings as the low earner...they just pay a higher percentage on the higher income amounts.)
