I apologize if this is a repost, did a quick search and did not find what I wanted to know.
This whole GW tax incentive has me slightly confused…
My question is this… since I am claimed as a dependent on my parents tax return (still a student), will I be receiving the $500 ? I have heard both sides and cannot seem to find a solid answer.
Thanks in advance.

^ they only do if they meet the requirements for claiming him as a dependant
1. Full time student under 24 years old
2. Not enrolled in college full time is 19 and under
oh and your parents will only get their extra $300/kid for the stimulus package if you are 17 or under… fine print reading! make sure they know thisss

> Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator
> You do not qualify for an economic stimulus payment
> According to law, the economic stimulus payment amount that everyone other than married couples filing jointly would otherwise be entitled to receive is reduced by 5% of the amount that their Tax Year 2007 Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $75,000. You would have been eligible for an economic stimulus payment of $300, but your AGI exceeds $75,000 by enough to reduce that amount to zero.
> However, if your situation changes during 2008, you may be able to claim an economic stimulus credit on your Tax Year 2008 return.
well, this is what i figured, but here it is in writing.
