Tax Rebate for big arts school student? (new bush toll rebates)?
I'm 17, a student, and I've been working for almost excactly a year. my w2 say I made about 6 august last year. Will I be getting any money from the foreign Bush Rebates that were merely introduced (most taxpayers are getting about $300) ??thankfulness
Answers: I think it might depend on if your parent's claim you or not. Most predictable they do claim you. If they do, they would get the $300, not you. If they dont' claim you, you would receive it, on top of your everyday refund. They acquire more back if they claim you, so they might not be so reluctant to NOT claim you. However... possibly they will give you the $300 check. ;)
Search adjectives over the Internet and you won't find an informative answer to this question.
First, regardless of the rebate, you still record for yourself if you had income, if for no other object than to receive a refund for the taxes that be withheld from your pay.
Bush and the Congressional Democrats own only agreed to a broad framework for the excise rebate with copious of the details to be worked out later. Details close to this one will be determined as the plan works its way through Congress.
Assuming your parents will be eligible to claim you as a dependent, they will receive $300 for you. Your rebate, if any, will possible depend on the amount of taxable income you have within 2007.
Since the purpose of the tax rebate is to stimulate the discount, it makes sense to contribute college students who make a significant income the rebate, since nobody spends money faster than a glorious school student. (No offense intended.) ;)
You should definately get hold of a rebate check. The rebate checks are for anyone who has earn income over 3 grand. If you file a return you will most likely win a rebate check. Probably on the lower end of 300. but hey, 300 is 300 more than you own now :)
I provided the wrong account number for direct deposit of my tax return. What should I do?
Answers: This happened to me last year. If they cannot match up your name and account number, then your refund will be delayed by 6-8 weeks and they will mail you a check. Last year I filed by Feb 1, and I received my check by April 5.
gee, that's a problem, but I think you can just file an amended return. Fill it out exactly like the first. There is a section to explain why the form is amended, and you just write that the original had the wrong account number. That is one of the reasons it is good to get a check in the mail.
Since we pay council tax why cant we get a say or vote on what it should be spent?
Answers: Is this a joke? Surely you aren't talking about the UK?
You can vote... in elections? Local elections? Thats what they are there for!
Obviously you can't vote on every single aspect of how council tax is spent - that would be impractical to the point of insanity. Do you know what proportion of budget should be spent on waste collection? Are you really well informed enough to suggest your council could afford to cut back on roadside maintenence?
Elections are there so you can vote on the people you want to do these things for you! Did you vote in your last local election?
Although you don't get to vote specifically upon what the money is spent, you have the opportunity to vote in your local elections for the party that you think will spend your money most wisely. A pound to a penny you don't vote in your local elections, so why ask such a daft question on here?
AND I WOULD BET MY MORTGAGE ON YOU NOT BEING A VOTER IN YOUR LOCAL ELECTIONS!
Well most of it pays for the councils holidays and pi*s ups.
Your very right we should have a say.
Its called voting- If look into what the policies are for each candidate you can vote for the one you think will do the best job
its a pretty tough role- imagine having to listen to everyone before making decisions- nothing would ever happen.
Major decisions you can always petition against- the more signatures, the more likely they are to take notice
my point exactly! Where i live its very "old people" orientated, which means they think they have all the decisions and make out that the "young people" dont belong here. Being 25 and seeing the changes they have made over the years - which have included: the old people campaigning about a swimming pool slide tower being "unsightly" so they got their way and it got taken down. A skate board park for the children being closed because the old people "didnt like it" and now the local swimming pool is being closed - which my son's school attends and now cannot as there are no other local pools, and this is being done to make way for a park that caters for the "elderly only" being built by the council which includes park area and exercise and relaxation machines for the elderly and a cafe, and young people are not allowed to enter.
This has angered me hugely - concidering that the old people here are all retired and therefor probably getting council tax benefit, it is us "young people" who are paying it every year to provide services and parks that we are not allowed to use.
And to make matters worse all the councillors are, yep you guessed it..old!!
We do.. they are called local elections, unfortunately, local representatives are so corrupt that they promise one thing to get your vote and then do the complete opposite when you have elected them into power.
