Mail Rebate for Elderly

[SueBaby]

Just talked to my software and they said to mail the rebates for the elderly. Thought I could transmit it and so much easier that way. But glad they can get something this way at least.

I'm glad you're glad they can get something for nothing

cause I'm sure not. They didn't pay in anything, so why should they get anything? Just as bad as EIC, just on a much larger scale.

Shame on Congress, our President and our nation!

Clarity

Josh: Just as a matter of clarity (assuming there is any such thing when it comes to government programs), the President didn't initially propose the giveaway portion of the rebate for those who don't pay taxes. That was tacked on by Congress because they didn't think the vote-bying potential of the original was rich enough. And since many of them are up for reelection...

I guess I was only thinking of my Mom and Dad that has worked all their lives and now they are only on SS. For those people yes I am glad they get money. They paid taxes all their lives and now they can enjoy not doing it . When I get their shape I will be glad too.

Yes I am not talking of people that you are, but people that have worked and paid taxes and now just on SS they deceive every penny the goverment is giving to them.

I couldn't say it any better

This was supposed to be a "tax rebate" program. If Congress wanted to include non-filer SS/VA etc recipients in it, they should have just increased their benefit and forgone the process of having to file a tax return to get it.

But then that would have been too easy!

It's not a tax rebate program

This was supposed to be a "tax rebate" program. If Congress wanted to include non-filer SS/VA etc recipients in it, they should have just increased their benefit and forgone the process of having to file a tax return to get it.

It's an econimic stimulous program being issued as a tax rebate. They are using the IRS to facilitate the whole program.

I know. They really don't have anything better to do, do they? My IRS customer service office is right down the hall from me ... gorgeous, spacious, modern and a real improvement over what they had before they moved (which was BTW in the middle of a former tax season). I know how much rent they pay because I did books for the bldg's owner. Only problem is, we got a new commissioner who doesn't care about customer service any more and the five (really great) employees all took early retirement or left, they let the receptionist go, so now there is "ONE" fellow in there for the entire metropolitan area who sees people "by appointment." The TP takes a number to ask a question and waits until he may be free.
