What are you going to do with your economic stimulus check?

[Duck Dog]

I might drop the entire amount into my IRA. Maybe I'll just spend it recklessly. I haven't decided yet.

I'll be getting mine direct deposited around May 2. I'll be paying off debt/moving expenses.

Buying a couch and loveseat probably.

[Dartgod]

It's going into our vacation fund for a Carribean trip next year.

[Reerun_KC]

paying taxes with mine... By the time we get done getting raped by the govt and state, there will be nothing left....

[King_Chief_Fan]

I am not eligble for one. Glad for those who are.

[Abba-Dabba]

Pay off the remaining balance of one of the cars and pay off a couple CC's with small balances. Redirecting those payments to them into something else. Nothing else more logical for my family.

[Lzen]

I am using it for vacation to Disney in June. :)

Sweet....thanks for the link. I'll be getting mine May 9th and I'll be using it to pay off some bills.

Paying off my car loan. It will be awesome to have an extra $300 a month.

I'm not getting one...:(

[Spott]

Looks like I will get it direct deposited on May 9th. I have no bills to pay off, but my cheap ass will likely just put the money in the bank and not spend any of it.

Oh prolly get one of these and drop the rest in savings

[Fire Me Boy!]

Economic stimulus check? WTF..is this just a fancy way of saying your tax rebate (if you get one)?

No, you're going to get another in May. $600 for single people, $1200 if you filed jointly. Obviously, there are limitations and stipulations... but basically, if you made over $3K and filed this year and don't make more than $75K as a single, you'll get the check/direct deposit.

[vailpass]

We don't qualify for a rebate. Can you believe that bullshit? Apparently the more you put in the less you get out. There is something wrong with that picture.

Since when does this happen? Is this something new being done this year to try to jump start our hampering economy? What do I have to do to see if I qualify? I already filed my taxes and received my rebate checks and I fall into the category you are talking about. $600 would come in handy right now.

Is the money is basically an interest free loan against your taxes next year? If you get money will it be deducted from your return in 2009?

Mine goes to the bank as well. I'm not rich but I have what I need. What I want is another issue but as long as we have what we need and the grand kids have what they need we are OK.

Q. Is my stimulus payment taxable?

A. No. You will not owe tax on your payment when you file your 2008 federal income tax return. But you should keep a copy of the IRS letter you receive later this year listing the amount of your payment. In the event you do not qualify for the full amount this year but you do next year, you will need to have the letter as a record of the amount you previously received.

Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?

A. No, the stimulus payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.

lasic eye surgery ($3500), new computer tower ($700 or so), hd tv ($1400), engagement ring for my gal (planning on spending $5000 or so), need to have some money saved up for a down payment on a house for when my lease is up in 10 months.

Odds are I will be saving my economic stimulus check and whatever I can from my day job paychecks and go after some of these big purchases one by one over the next year or so.

I dont think he's on the ballot. The little note you get in the mail credits both Bush and the US Congress, so this could be a ploy by the Dem majority to win over votes, since they somehow managed to have an approval rating even lower than Bush.

And I recommend that you write a very nasty letter to the IRS about not getting one last year.

You'd be well advised to model your letter off of that written by the great Wesley Snipes. A few points that you should definitely make include:

Warn the government that their "illegal collection action" will result in "significant personal liability" for those involved and that pursuit of such a high profile target (as BWillie) will open the door for your increased collateral risk,"

I would end by stating: "I certainly don't believe this is in your best interest and can be avoided."
