I got $4200 Federal and $900 State back. that doesnt mean anything, time to break it down elementary style. Go to line 2 of your tax return information. It should say something about total tax, what was that? ---

I think its based on what you earned, and what you paid in taxes. I got 600, my girlfriend only got 300. She only make like 10 grand last year, she was going to school full time. ---

omg fail. 3 steps: 1.) [irs.gov](http://irs.gov) 2.) stimulus rebate FAQ 3.) “What does it look like for you” [http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179169,00.html](http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179169,00.html) Or, maybe… JUST MAYBE, call a tax advisor? Or even my old friend google. ---
