tax rebate question

Hi there...you might want to give the IRS a call. I am on a repayment plan and got the rebate information letter. Although, I wont fully believe it until I have the $$ in hand :D

I got this information from the IRS site. :

Q. I'm eligible for a payment but I still owe federal income tax from a prior year. Will my payment be reduced?

A. Yes. For this purpose, the Stimulus Payment is treated like any other tax refund. This means that part or all of your payment can be used to pay past-due federal or state income taxes or non-tax federal debt such as student loans and child support.

Shazzers...thanks for posting that...that is corect. However, if you are actually on a formal plan, not just "owe", there is a chance you can get the stimulus. I called the IRS last month, and they said if you got the letter, there is a good chance you'll get the payment in hand if you are on a plan. But as I said, I wont believe it until I have the $$.

I like that idea way better than the info I retrieved from the IRS site. :D

My friend just called the IRS to set up payment arrangements and they told her that she will get the stiumlus payment, she gets $600.00 they told her lucky duck. :lol:

I am not getting my check. I just called and even though i am on a payment plan, the stimulas goes to pay down my debt.

I responded to your other post kash...I think my friend is lying to me :twisted: , the idiot is claiming 4 exemptions when she only has herself as a dependent...she is only screwing herself at the end of the year by owing $ to the IRS. :twisted:

I sort of agree. All payments for people who owe the IRS are going toward payment of debt. I called several times and always got the same answer.

LADYBUG...how could your friend file for all of those 'exemptions'? Did she do her taxes herself? Did she have a company do them for her? WOW!! I would think someone would 'catch it' sooner or later.

She has H&R Block do her taxes and her tax woman told her last year to change her withholdings and she hasn't yet :twisted: duh she is going to be in the same boat she is in this year if she doesn't change them, she makes me mad because she can be so stupid sometimes...

well I guess I'll just pray somehow I get one, but I'm not going to count on it:)

Imale, if you owe any taxes you will not get the check. It will go towards the taxes that yu owe.

when will I receive stimulas check. last 4 are 0898

Not for awhile Harvey,not for awhile!

Harvey did you do direct deposit? If you did then it should be by May 16th but if not and you are expecting a paper check I think it's sometime in July. My last digits are 97 so I'm expecting mine by May 16th since I did direct deposit.
