Today I was surprised to find a US$300.00 dollar check in the mail from the Dept. of Treasury. I filed with an overseas address and filled out the correct forms on Turbo and it said I did not qualify, but I still got it. On the check it says "Economic Stimulus Payment." I do buy stuff from the States online with my credirt card. Not sure if I can cash it here though??

Nice, did you pay any taxes to the States?

[MA_TESOL]

[bassexpander]

Don't spend it.

[genezorm]

make sure you spend it in america to help out the economy and keep america number 1 ...if you spend it in another country you are helping the terrorists

MA TESOL, did you get all your previous year's income from outside the USA? I thought since I made zero money in the USA in 2007, and paid no taxes due to the out of country qualification, I wouldn't get a rebate.

I want my $300 since I will never see my social security!

$300... the US economy is saved!!!

[tigerbluekitty]

'Technically' I made under the limit for tax year 2007 like you!


I HOPE I GET A REBATE CHECK IN THE MAIL TOO!! THAT WOULD ROCK!!

I think cashing it might be a problem........I have never seen a Korean bank that ever cashed an American cheque before.........but, like anything else, there is always a first sometime.............................

[Zenas]

Heck, if $300 would stimulate the economy, think what $30,000 would do.
Or $300,000.

This might be alittle off topic; but I just have to ask and even non-Americans can comment on this also......................................................



If you were given $300US, what would you spend it on?

[cangel]

I got mine too... All $3.00 I don't know how MA_Tesol got $300 if he had no stateside income during the filing year. Sounds funny.

[Colorado]

I had no Stateside income last year either, and I got a check.


YEEESSSS.
