    Remember that the "rebate" checks are an advance from the government. The income is fully taxable at YOUR tax rate. i.e. if you are in the 25% tax bracket $150 ($600 x 25% = 150) of the check goes right back to the govenment.

    My advise, don't blow all of the money unless you are sure that you are going to be getting a refund in excess of whatever your liabiliy is.

    hold up a sec...we're getting taxed on money that they are giving us? What the crap is that.

    Well, can't complain too much cause its taxable free money or nothing.

    Taxguy: where do you find out how much you will be getting? Is there a site or formula for this?
