Money What are you going to do with your economic stimulus check? - Page 6

Duck Dog · 07:54 AM

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

Here's the payment schedule.

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.

WTF dude? You live under a rock?

I know guys that live under rocks and have gotten the news. Hell, even guys in Texas have heard the news!

Going right into my ING Direct money market account. I'm currently building up my emergency fund, but that might eventually turn into a down payment for a house. I'm not jumping in unprepared, I want a nice down payment before I think about a mortgage.

Hey...I only watch ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNNU, and Two and a Half men. How am I supposed to know. Was I supposed to get one last year too? Cuz I never did.

I conferred with some colleagues and they knew about it but said the check if you are single will be from $0 to $600. Not a guarantee of $600. How do you guestimmate what your check will be?

I am going to buy QT a fence to keep the Coyotes out and also a years supply of paper bags with mouth holes for Iowanian's wife.

Being that the government wasted $42 to send out notes to everyone saying 'hey the stimulus package is coming'. What do you think the odds of the government sending $0 checks to people who don't qualify? I'd say 50-50

You must've missed the Very Special Episode of Two and a Half Men where they got their check and then invested it in heavy industry.

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

Or young dudes open their check envelopes and find a Draft notice.

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.

I think he was asking about next years taxes, 2009. I wouldn't be suprised...

If that's the case, I'm taking mine up to Canada and spending it there. All $2100. That'll show 'em.
