hmmm, good point ... hard to work out of a mattress.
You think Uncle Sam needs your permission to access your mattress?
IRS messed mine up too. Got the $1200 direct deposit, but they must have "forgot" that I have 2 kids under 17 (and 2 more above 17 that don't count ) . Not sure how they could have missed it, as TurboTax has their birthdates and SSNs. Guess I gotta give the IRS a call - or shouldn't I open that can of worms...I got $600 bucks Friday. Then picked up my mail Friday and the IRS says I owe $124 on my 2006 taxes. Fidelity's reported income does not match mine on my 1040. wtf?

Guess I will wait until I get their explanation in writing. I believe bullet item 2 may have applied, as I am still using up our adoption credit from 3 years ago as well as some Hope/Lifetime credits. Doesn't seem quite right, but maybe it all comes out in the wash and will get more back when I file taxes next year.Check into the fine print. There was something in there about reductions in the amounts paid for kids under certain circumstances. I think that if your use of the child tax credit was reduced, so is your kickback.
Anyone else wish they'd just kept the two "you're a winner!" letters, saved the $xx million in postage and processing, and gave us all an extra .50c?
I got nothing. Don't think I'm currently eligible. But I'm getting married soon (to a non citizen). I'm hoping that means come tax time I'm eligible and can pick up the $1200 version.
