But regardless, I don't think I'm getting anything as far as the stimulus rebates because I made just under the minimum amount. <_<

Well, also keep in mind that you can't get a rebate if you an be claimed a dependent on another's return.

I don't have to worry about that. I'm to old to be claimed as anyone else's dependent.

Yeah, I was claimed on my parent's return as a dependent, and didn't qualify them for the extra $300.  But I made enough to qualify for it myself.  But since I was a dependent on my parent's return, I couldn't get it.  F'in screwed out of $300.  Monkeys.

Actually, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but according to the IRS "People cannot be claimed as dependents or eligible to be claimed as dependents on another's tax return."

So even if your parents have the choice to claim you as a dependent and don't, you still can't get the payment because you passed the dependent checklist (page 10, table 5) :(

I made just under 3500 as well, but, I'm not too heated that I won't get the money.  It would for sure help, but, it's not that much of a big deal to me.
I think if you pay taxes, you should get at least something back.

I have yet to have to pay taxes. I've been owed a refund each of the 4 times I've filed thus far in my life.  ;)

I agree completley Kyle. :yes:

That's great. It's good so that you don't avoid any increase after tax day
