Too poor

Today we got our notification letter from the IRS with regards to the financial stimulus package that every tax-paying american is going to get. With me only working part time hours and Laura now working as a full-time mom we were looking forward to some extra money in the bank.

i opened the letter and read "$782". ¿$782? Last i heard it was $600 dollars for each adult in the household. ¿Why only $782 and why such an irregular ammount?

On the back of the letter i finally read that the possible amount was $1,200 >>OR<< our "2007 net tax liablity". We get back the money we were supposed to pay in taxes.

i did a lot of scattered work last year for more employers than i would have liked as i waited to get back into the school cycle (and employment). Basically, we're too poor to get the full $1,200. For some reson the Goverment doesn't want to refund more taxes that we paid last year. RUDE!
