2009, 2010 Stimulus Check, Tax Rebate Calculator
Did you receive a stimulus payment in 2008, but it was less than you were expecting? You can review your information using a tax rebate calculator. These calculators will help you determine the amount that your stimulus payment should have been.
Try using an online tax calculator such as the one available at TurboTax Online. It will ask you very simple questions regarding your marital status, number of dependents, and a few questions regarding your income. This a free tool that is offered to help you determine the amount of your stimulus check you should have received.
The government issued over 130 million payments that started going out on May 2nd and finished up on July 11th. There was a small amount of individuals who received their payments after this date that required additional time to process. If you were late in filing your return and missed the April 15th deadline, the government will continue to send out checks weekly.
If you received a smaller amount than expected it could be due to the following reasons:
- Your adjusted gross income exceeded $75,000.00
- Your income came from supplemental security income
- Your income came from pension and annuity payments
- Your child turned 17 in December of 2007
- Your qualifying income is less than $3,000.00
- You were claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return
- You paid less than $600.00 in federal income tax.
- You do not have a social security number
Additional payments will be made by a credit offered on your 2008 return that you will file in 2009. If you have had a change in income or dependent amounts then you may receive additional stimulus funds.
TurboTax will automatically notify you if you qualify for the recovery rebate credit. Visit TurboTax Online and try the free stimulus tax rebate check calculator.
