Information on Stimulus Payments
This explains it pretty well I think (it's from the IRS website).
I do know that it won't be taxed as income, but I guess they are taking it out of taxes paid in? And that's why it's considered a rebate? Because people who have no tax liabilty, but made at least $3000.00 can get a $300 rebate. I really don't understand it at all except that it will be money I wouldn't otherwise have had which I have to pay no additional taxes on. Right?
