Imagine this: You file your 2007 tax return just like normal. You get your economic stimulus check. And life goes on, right? What if, a few months later, you got a letter from the IRS asking you why you filed TWO tax returns for the same year? Using different addresses? Yep, that’s what happened to…
Taxpayer asks: I work for an accounting firm and my boss mentioned she had heard on TV (gotta love the media) that because the first round of stimulus checks didn’t stimulate the economy as they thought ( I loved your – who really did profit from the stimulus checks), that the IRS was considering another…
Taxpayer asks: Is there a remedy for a lost stimulus check? Taxgirl says: Are you sure that it’s lost? Or just not processed yet? I would call the toll-free Rebate Hotline at 1-866-234-2942 and ask the IRS. You can also visit your local Taxpayer Assistance Center.

Taxgirl says: Call the toll-free Rebate Hotline at 1-866-234-2942. You can also visit your local Taxpayer Assistance Center.–
Taxpayer asks: Our first check came and went. I have heard that they are considering sending another one. Do you think that they will send a second check? Taxgirl says: No. I don’t think a second check is in the cards – for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the economy.
Taxpayer asks: I am a single mom with 2 children. I only received a total of $300.00 for my stimulus check. Why? And what do I do? Taxgirl says: It sounds like you might be a victim of an IRS error. The IRS claims that the error has since been fixed and that they will…
Taxpayer asks: My daughter turned 17 on Christmas Day. Can we get the extra rebate for her? Taxgirl says: Sorry, no. To claim the child credit for the rebate, your child must be under the age of 17 as of the end of the tax year (December 31). But what a cool birth date!
Taxpayer asks: Hi Kelly! I just received my tax rebate, but it was for $600 and I am a single mom so I though it would be $900. I was just wondering how I go about figuring out which amount is correct. Will I receive the $300 later for my son? You are the only…
Taxpayer asks: Just curious, are the foreign taxpayers who are not American citizens also going to get the stimulus rebate checks? I’ve heard people from all over the world have been filing tax forms for the stimulus payment. (And apparently, these are non-American citizens who have social security numbers). Taxgirl says: Permanent residents overseas who…
Taxpayer asks: I keep hearing all different kinds of stories about this money that we are to be expecting in May. I have heard that this is coming out of our tax returns in 2008, I’ve heard that it’s not. I’ve also heard that if I’m married we get 600.00 for the both of us…
