Ask the taxgirl: Rebates and Foreign Jobs
Taxpayer asks:
I am a US Citizen, living in Canada but commuting to the U.S. to work.
I filed a 1040 for 2007. I’ve read that I am eligible for the Tax Rebate, however, I have not received either notification letter. In addition, according to the last 2 digits of my SS# my check should’ve been mailed on May 23rd. The IRS website has no info on the status of my check. My accountant mailed my return on April 15th. Is it possible that it’s still being processed?
Thanks
Taxgirl says:
I think so. From what you’ve reported - assuming that you are income eligible - you should receive a rebate. I would guess that it’s very likely that it is still being processed.
You may want to call the toll-free Rebate Hotline at 1-866-234-2942. You can also visit your local Taxpayer Assistance Center.
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.
