Taxpayers would get checks under economic stimulus plan

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/24/economic.stimulus/index.html

重點
 Sources on Capitol Hill and at the Treasury Department said the plan would
send checks of $600 to individuals and $1,200 to couples who paid income tax
and who filed jointly.

People who did not pay federal income taxes but who had earned income of more
than $3,000 would get checks of $300 per individual or $600 per couple.

A Democratic aide and Republican aide said there will be an additional amount
per child, which could be in the neighborhood of $300.

Those who earn up to $75,000 individually or up to $150,000 as a couple will
be eligible for the payments, said Republican and Democratic sources familiar
with the tentative deal.

Checks could be in 117 million taxpayer mailboxes by June, according to an
Associated Press report.

推 cchris:這是要救經濟的,幾年前已經做過一次,不一定有效
→ cchris:重點是它的門檻,單身或已婚雙薪的工程師們都很難拿到 :D
→ miluco:比較好奇的是75000,150000的門檻是指扣除額之前的數字
→ miluco:還是扣除額之後的數字
推 kruz:不管之前之後應該是拿不到了...
推 cchris:這種cap一般都是用AGI, 目前的資訊是超過cap後會fade out
→ cchris:所以超過cap一些些的人或許還有機會拿到一部份rebate
推 clarkchang:看樣子我太太沒上班居然是個利多
→ chasemasami:只要有配偶沒上班應該就拿賺到 1200耶 還不賴~~
推 cchris:夫妻都有放滿401k的話,會減少31000的AGI,較容易qualify退款
推 willieliao:嘿嘿存了20%401k之後剛好低於cap...
推 kruz:其實這個時候最虧的是剛好退不到又在最上面那個bracket底下的
→ kruz:只能說,選錯年賣身了
推 chasemasami:w大太猛了吧 20% 401k...
推 cchris:如果夫妻AGI在15/16萬左右,應該還是退得到,只會少一些而已
→ willieliao:其實不到20%因為會超過401k上線
→ cchris:我太太有一年換工作所以沒做滿12個月,後來401k只好放到30%
→ cchris:薪水單就變得超小一張 :D 為了放滿401k,只好這樣囉
→ cchris:就算薪水壓到75k/150k以下,若股票/利息有賺錢,一樣算入AGI
→ cchris:也一樣會超過income cap (只好期望phase out的速率慢一些)
→ TripleC:有小孩再多領一點...:p
推 cchris:這個退稅和小孩一點關係也沒有. 有沒工作的配偶永遠是利多
→ cchris:在報稅上，沒工作的配偶超級好用,該有的稅務好處都拿得到
