You need to have a word with your HR department: I’m fairly certain you can legitimately claim extra exemptions from withholding on the basis of anticipated deductions, not just dependents.

You have to go down to your local state healthcare agency to get the form - you know ... the same state agncy where you can sign up to get your free healthcare started immediately ...

What’s the real difference between the rebate check and the refund?

Rebate is your taxes have been cut (rates lowered after you paid).

Refund is you overpaid to begin with.

Not the amount one may get back each year, the check we received a few years ago from the IRS...rebate or refund?

[a fool in paradise]

The check that came outside of tax filing was a rebate. And it didn’t have to be declared on the subsequent tax statement as Obama’s check in 2009 did.

What refund? Everyone in this house had to pay.
