No, BTD is right. Maximum is $600 for single, $1200 for married filing jointly. Plus $300 for each dependent.

If your adjusted gross is over $75K ($150K for joint), you get $600 ($1200)-5% of the amount over that limit. So if your adjusted gross is $80K, 5% of $5K is $250, so the rebate would be $350.

I'm a republican. I won't get mine until July. So much for that theory.

ooooh... a wii.....hmmmm....Let's see - I have to recover from the DC expenses and make sure I'm okay to cover up-coming student loan payments, but assuming that's all okay I might go for a wii finally.

(The spousal unit wants an xbox, but that's the one console I have no use for. a PS3 (or whatever number they're on now) has the blu-ray bonus and a wii has the "fun for me to play" bonus. xbox? That's all about his style of gaming and they sound like more trouble than they're worth.)

Ok, I have figured it out. Education credits for Michael and myself got us a pretty decent refund this year, but made our tax liability so low that we got $600 as a couple instead of $1200. Eh, oh well.

A girl Michael works with got $300 instead of $600 because her tax liability was low because her income is low.
