Purpose of Tax Rebates
-
Tax rebates are authorized by the U.S. Congress and the U.S President for a variety of reasons, the most common of which is to stimulate the national economy by putting money back into the taxpayers' pockets. The idea is that if people pay less taxes, or are given a tax refund, they will have more money to spend and this will drive the economy in a positive way.
Who Recieves Tax Rebates?
-
All tax rebates differ, but generally, nearly everybody is entitled to a tax rebate. Sometimes, a tax rebate won't be issued to people who made too much money, or sometimes tax rebates won't be issued to people who didn't pay any taxes. Most of the time, though, nearly everybody qualifies for a tax rebate when authorized by the Congress.
The IRS Role in Tax Rebates
-
The IRS does not authorize tax rebates, but they do handle the administrative task of issuing the tax rebate checks. To make sure you receive your tax rebate money, assuming the Congress authorizes a tax rebate, you should make sure the IRS has your contact information. You can call (800) TAX-FORM or go to the IRS website at irs.gov to find out about your rebate and to keep the IRS up to date with your contact information.
