If you're making more than $3,000 but less than $75,000 per year (though there are some caveats) more than likely, you're looking at around $600 bucks coming back at ya.

This is from the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 which includes a tax rebate.

The checks weren't expected until May, but President Bush said that they were going to start going out on Monday (4/28/08).

So, what are you planning on spending your rebate on? Paying off your taxes? Debt? Food?

Vacation

My fiancee and I are taking a trip to D.C. this summer. The bulk of my rebate is going straight to the trip.
