Imagrunt, I believe you are incorrect on this point. After doing some calculations on the IRS website using their economic stimulus calculator, I received this message:

"According to law, the economic stimulus payment amount that you would otherwise be entitled to receive is reduced by 5% of the amount that your Tax Year 2007 Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $150,000. You would have been eligible for an economic stimulus payment of $900, but your AGI exceeds $150,000 by enough to reduce that amount to zero."

The AGI I used was $200,000. At $150,000 AGI, $900 would have been received in a stimulus check.

No offense intended, Sir.

If Colt is correct about his parents not receiving a stimulus check, it is because of their high income level. [/b]
Turns out we gave them too much money... we payed so much in, we weren't allowed it back out.
