Long story short....
If i claim I DID NOT receive a stimulus check my fed return is $2700.
If i claim I received a stimulus check my fed return is $900.
Funny part is that I copied this from the IRS website when I first heard about the stimulus ....
Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?
A. No, the stimulus payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.
This has been removed from the IRS website.http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id =179181,00.html
So I did not owe anymore money due to the Stimulus Check but I am slightly upset (yet not that shocked) to find out the stimulus was just a loan.
