Ian's reply to my morning post reminded me about this.

We got our check a while back. Being married, filing jointly, we were going to
get $1200, right?

Wrong! $1073 is what showed up. Now, not having the information stub in front of
me, I'd guess that we got nicked for $127 in taxes. So, since the money to pay
the ES check came from taxes, I figure we just got double-taxified.

I don't remember anyone saying that this was gonna be taxable income, but maybe
I slept thru that part. With this admin, it's so easy to do.

Just your basic flake, and official Old Fart!

No, it is not taxable. Most likely, you and your spouse make more
money than the maximum amount for the full rebate, and yours was
adjusted accordingly.
