[在美報稅] The IRS has announced... @ Days are long

2007年布希政府的新退稅政策

除了本來應有的退稅(或補稅),
每個2007年報1040EZ(NR的沒有)都可以再拿到stimulus payment
(說好聽點就是刺激經濟的退稅,說難聽點就是用國家的名義來政治綁樁,畢竟美國11月就要選舉啦!)
不管怎樣~反正~也不需要跟錢過不去~
美國政府都這麼大方的給了~那我們就謙虛的收下了~

The IRS has announced that it will start sending the economic stimulus tax rebate checks starting on May 2, with the first round of weekly payments to be completed by early July. In addition, the IRS has launched an Online Tax Rebate Calculator to help people determine the amount of their rebate check.

Rebate check direct deposit or mailings will be made according to the last two digits of your Social Security numbers as follows:
