Garrett was wondering why he didn't get any money. He called the IRS and basically they said he wasn't getting any, and his parents weren't getting it for him, even though he worked last year. Bottom line.

Q: I know some people won’t get a stimulus payment. How do I know if I’m one of them?

A: You won’t get a stimulus payment in 2008, if any of the following apply to you:

  • You don’t file a 2007 tax return.

  • Your net income tax liability is zero and your qualifying income is less than $3,000. To determine your qualifying income, add together your wages, net self-employment income, nontaxable combat pay, Social Security benefits, certain Railroad Retirement benefits and certain veterans’ payments.

  • You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return (whether or not you actually are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return). For example, this would include a child or student who can be claimed on a parent’s return. [Updated 4/15/08]

  • You do not have a valid Social Security Number.

  • You are a nonresident alien.

  • You file Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040PR or Form 1040SS for 2007.


So basically, even though I worked my ass off last year, in addition to going to classes, I don't get a stimulus check. I made more than $9,000, and I am not entitled to it.

FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH.
FUCK THIS STUPID FUCKING COUNTRY.
As soon as Barack's presidency is finished, I am moving to Canada and becoming a citizen there.
