Perhaps you could spend in on a donation to the Obama campaign.

Me too.

I just talked my self out of the 52" HDTV.

I think I'll go with the 42". I just measured my old Tube TV, and found that it is only 27". And the 42" will be covered by my insentive check, and in fact Howards TV will take an additional 10% off if I use my check there.

Single and made less than $75K per year: you get a $600 rebate
Married and made less than $150K per year: you get a $1200 rebate
(Above those amounts, the rebate starts to decrease on a sliding scale.)
In addition, you get $300 per dependent child.

See the first post in the thread to see when you will get your rebate. Basically, those who had their regular tax rebates deposited into their bank accounts electronically will get their incentive checks first.

Okay, mine will be in the bank on the 15th (or no later than the 20th) according to the IRS site.

I will bank it for the time being. I might apply to CC debt, I would think this is a good sue for it. Pay down debt (repeat until debt is paid down) I know I will be happier in the end.

I don't need no stinking website.

Today I got a notice in the mail from my friends at the IRS. They say I'm getting $600 and I should receive it by the 16th. You'd think they could have enclosed the check and saved some postage.

We got a similar notice today as well. Personally, I think that already having the money in the bank was notice enough.

Yes, we too have been similarly informed that we are to be prepared to start expecting the date after which, some time within 6 months, a check may or may not come or money may or may not be deposited into our account.

I'm feeling very stimulated.

I was asked by a reporter today what I planned to do with my check; I don't think they'll use my response.
