i am on disability and my husband who worked at same job for 43 years, he get ss and retirement check. that is what we live on and it is a heck lot less than when he was working, we are both almost 63.
I did not vote for Obama nor would I ever. if he had given all that money to the americans and let those other big wigs sink or swim. so many homes could have been saved and people wouldn;t have to decide between prescriptions or food, shoot peple would have been SPENDING would that not seem logical?

I have been getting questions from employees about the tax table for 2010. There should be NO reduction in withholding in 2010 as I understand it. Thus, the withholding will be whatever it should be W/O and “stimulus” adjustment. Is that correct?

Joe, I think if you poke around the blog, you’ll see a number of folks who have been affected (some good, some not so good) by the stimulus.
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.

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. And just wait until those energy taxes start hitting. Obama fans, look what you’ve done.

I am the only employee on the books I haven’t seen a increase in my pay. 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’m sorry, but there is no provision in the 2009 tax code for this so-called stimulus. 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.

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