The answer is a little more complicated than one form number. To get your extra tax rebate, you must file an income tax report even if you normally do not have to because of limited and/or tax free income. If you qualify to file the 1040EZ (the simpliest tax return) that is the one to go with. If you want to itemized deductions, own a farm or a buisness, or just about anything that makes your tax report more complicated than just your salary and/or a few dividends, you will have to file the more complicated 1040 form (of which there are several). What to do? Most cities offer free tax preparation or advice through a variety of organizations. Or, call the IRS's toll free number and ask them. Good luck
There is no maximum refund. If you overpaid your federal taxes, you'll get a refund for the overpayment no matter how much it is.
No. In fact, you probably owe money to the government if taxes are not be deducted from your check.
You don't get a refund of your property tax.
You can file a federal tax return and get a refund regardless of the status of your state taxes. If you owe overdue taxes to the state and they have gotten around to it, the state can intercept your federal refund. So, your refund might go to paying your overdue state taxes instead of being sent to you. But unless you file a federal tax return, no refund will be generated and your state taxes will not be paid.
No, when filing for the state income taxes, you will receive your federal income tax refund as well as your state income tax refund.
Not a federal refund (except for parts of the refund due to worthless securities or bad debt). And not most states. But check your specific state.
Yes. State refund must be claimed as income on your federal return.
if i owe federal taxes will they take my state refund
They do NOT get a refund from any ones taxes. They only get a refund check from their own taxes if they have over paid their income tax liability for the year.
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.

Can you still file income taxes even though no federal taxes were taken out of check?
