The 2010 Tax Stimulus Refund Expectations and Data

By Robert Nichols

In 2010, we could acquire a tax rebate that rivals the amount everyone got in last year's rebate, which is good news for everyone. With a new administration in Washington and the financial crisis leaving many people poor, it reflects well on the new president to help out the common man and give him some assistance.

In the fall, you will be able to experience a new tax stimulus plan that will assist taxpayers. The total amount returned to taxpayers could be about $800 for each person, which can add up to around $150 billion or more. Since the 2009 stimulus wasn't quite enough to get the economy going again, sources indicate that next year's rebate will help. It can be utilized to buy gas or even merely save for an emergency. The IRS didn't do so great the last time they distributed stimulus checks, as some people didn't even get theirs due to computing errors.

Having another tax rebate looks dubious to some. With the skyrocketing cost of living, it's fully possible that Americans won't use it to stimulate the economy, but rather just save it and squander it. We've had a ton of people concerned about the advantages of an additional tax rebate. With the debt being as high as it is already, there are many worries that we just don't have the money to bail out everyone; however, it's entirely possible that the tax rebates could come out of the banking bailout that is occurring.

President Obama, when he was campaigning, put forward a plan for tax rebates supplying every American citizen with $1000 that would be used for consumer spending and giving the money they need to live. Oil companies would be more harshly taxed, supplying the rebate income. Now that he is president, Obama has to put forth this plan and get it approved, so that the American economy can get the help it needs to survive; it's a critical time for this nation, and a plan like this could help.

One major frustration that Americans feel is paying for others' financial problems with their tax dollars, making them fight tax rebates. What they have to be worried about is all of the extreme military spending and financial bailouts to downed companies. No matter our national debt, we have to pay it back sometime, whether we're ready or not. We may not be up for the task when the moment comes. Our economy is in crisis, and has to be rescued before the damage gets too far, directly affecting people's futures. A tax rebate may just be the program that gets us on the correct path. - 31821
