Stimulus checks causing tax time confusion
February 4, 2009
Apparently last year’s stimulus checks are causing quite a bit of confusion this year when it comes to filing tax returns.
According to an article on MSN Money, roughly 15 percent of taxpayers are mistakenly filing for a second tax rebate when filing their income taxes. This error delays the time it takes for taxpayers to get a refund check if they are owed a refund.
If you received a stimulus check last year, you are mostly likely not eligible to apply for an additional tax credit when filing your income taxes. There are some exceptions.
For details about who is eligible to claim an additional refund this year, follow this link to the IRS web site.
