Ask the taxgirl: Error on check
Taxpayer asks:
I was told to put 1040 and my SS# on the check, which I have done in a rush (yesterday). Today I see a small notice informing me to make check out to US Treasury RATHER than IRS. I’d like to think it’s no big deal. but - I’d like to believe in Santa Claus. I await, hoping you haven’t gone on vacation now tax time is gone.
Taxgirl says:
Lose nary a minute of sleep over it. You’re fine. The government will take its money (almost) any way that they can get it.
(and PS, Santa Claus does exist. My kids swear he does - and they’re smarter than most adults I know)
Like any good lawyer, I need to add a disclaimer: Unfortunately, it is impossible to give comprehensive tax advice over the internet, no matter how well researched or written. Before relying on any information given on this site, contact a tax professional to discuss your particular situation.

why are people that are in there 70′2 & 80’s allowed to get the tax break this year and people that are on SSI not allowed to get it .this does not seem fair . I know someone that has been on SSI for 5 yrs now

I haven’t received my rebate check and my last two numbers are 30, and I had direct deposit. So what’s up with that.
