We might be able to write a book on all the questions over the tax rebates.

With the help of IRS spokesman Jim Dupree, here are more answers to your questions:

Q. Do government retirees on the Civil Service Retirement System and Federal Employee Retirement System plans receive rebates as other W-2 wage earners?

A. In general, CSRS and FERS annuity payments are considered taxable income. These retirees will be eligible to receive a payment if they had at least $3,000 of qualifying income in 2007.

Q. My son is 18 year-old college student. He works but makes too little to file a return. We claim him as a dependent on our tax return. Can he get a rebate by filing a return?

A. No, anyone who is claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return is ineligible for the rebate.

Q. If you file estimated quarterly taxes, will the rebate be applied to upcoming taxes or will you get a rebate check?

A. The economic stimulus payment amount to which the person is entitled will be issued in full, unless the taxpayer has an outstanding (past-due) federal income tax liability, or, if previously referred to the Treasury Financial Management Service Treasury Offset Program, past-due child or spousal support, past-due student loan obligations, other federal agency non-tax debts, or state income tax obligations.
