I have received a ton of emails asking about the status of the tax rebates, many sounding quite desperate.
First of all, I have to say that the level of concern about the timing of payments is really discouraging and indicative of the severe state of our economy. Taxpayers are telling me that they need […]

Taxpayer asks:
I have a problem. I let my son’s father claim us on his taxes and he died on 3/29/08. What do I do to get the rebate back on, at least on my son and myself? Not to sound morbid! But what can I do?
