Okay I know there are worse things that could happen. But for the moment Im very annoyed.
DH was under the impression he was getting a stimulus check. So we ordered our album under the assumption that we had another $600 comming to us.
Well last night he goes online to find out when he was getting it and it said he isn't entitled to one because someone claimed him as a dependant. Im annoyed because he wasn't living at home and we needed that money.
Then we got home last night and our tv broke. So now we have to buy a new one because we are already paying for the cable service. And Im already stressed out because of real problems that do matter in the long run of life. So Im just very aggrevated and annoyed and wish he hadn't been told he was getting it when infact he isn't and now i have to magically come up with another $600 to pay for our album. And another couple of hundred for a small crap tv.

I don't really know ANYTHING about taxes, I have a hard enough time doing mine. Just wanted to say and I hope it works out.

wait a minute--now I'm confused.

didn't he do his taxes for 2007??? how was it possible for someone to claim him and he did NOT know about it?

if he did his own taxes and claimed himself--like one would normally do--and someone claimed him....then at some point he would have received a letter from the IRS stating that someone else claimed him and therefore his taxes would be utterly different. he'd lose his exemption and chances are, he'd either have a smaller refund that would have been adjusted --- OR he owes the government money.

so my question again would be, how would he not know this by now?

I agree.

Acutally i would be more concerned that the Government might come and ask you for money!!!
