If your employer has not made the necessary adjustments, you need to contact your employer. All employers should have received a revised withholding schedule (I know we did) from the Treasury.

This has been going on since April, and I still haven't found one person who is getting this so-called stimulus. And just wait until those energy taxes start hitting. Obama fans, look what you've done. Just as I thought. This has been going on since April, and I still haven’t found one person who is getting this so-called stimulus.

When i asked about it my employer didnt respond and then said he didnt really know what the new schedule to take out was. Is it manditory they do this or will i be able to just have this adjusted at the end of the year. I am the only employee on the books I haven’t seen a increase in my pay.

It is nothing more than a postponement of your tax liability. When you file your 2009 tax return your refund (if you are due a refund) will be approximately $400 less, or you will owe approximately $400 more if you owe additional tax. Your best bet for this "stimulus" is to put it in the bank so you will be able to pay it back next year. I’m sorry, but there is no provision in the 2009 tax code for this so-called stimulus.

Self-employed persons are in the same boat. Unfortunately, that’s probably what you’re going to have to do. Self-employed persons are in the same boat.

That hardly seems fair!!!!!

I'm self employed with virtually no income right now and my hubby has a job. He just got his paycheck and it seems the new stimulus withholding is already in affect. We looked at his stub and there were NO taxes taken out, rather an additional $55 was credited instead. We are worried that we're going to have to pay next spring rather than get our usual refund. What should we do? I believe he is reported as married with two exemptions (we have 2 children living at home) and withholding at a higher rate. One of the children will be graduating high school this year and will start college in the fall. Should we adjust his W-4? We’re basically currently a one income family.

I'm one of the people who will receive $33 more but that is almost $600 - Does anyone know why that is? It's hard to explain to employees!
