When I get my $1200 from Uncle Sam I'm going to.............

There goes $400, DD was born in 1986 and credit is for children born after 1986. At least the other two still count

God Bless America .. and the Constitution (just wish we would follow it!!)

Just wish folks would stop thinking they are getting money from 'Uncle Sam' ..... they are not - they are getting it from ME and others who do not qualify for the special breaks!!

Maybe I can somehow deduct my 7 Day cruise or DVC from my taxes.....

PS - You are welcome

I am the original poster on this thread and I know I am not getting the money from you!!! I have paid way more into the system than $1200 bucks believe you me!! This credit was approved partially as an ecomomic stimulus which this country sorely needs. I am sure my contribution will help some poor family that relies on the travel industry!!!!!!!!!!

Once again an enjoyable thread is ruined by personal sarcasm



Weren't you taught if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing
at all!


Scottygirl, I appreciate the post, keep the positive thoughts coming. Kind and good hearted people do out number the negative crew on the DIS unfortunately their posts are sometimes so hostile we forget that!

Found this on the IRS site.......... bummer...i'm in the last group. better then not getting one at all i guess. should be to me by the time the visa gets sent out with all the cruise charges...perfect timing really!!

Mailing Schedule for Advance Child Tax Credit Payments
For the first three weeks, the checks will be sent according to the last two digits of the taxpayer's social security number:
00-33 -- mailed July 25
34-66 -- mailed August 1
67-99 -- mailed August 8
Eligible taxpayers whose returns were not processed in time for these initial mailing dates will have their checks sent out after the IRS processes their returns

I'm in the last group as well, but the good news is, we cruise Aug. 23rd, so I know where my $400.00 is going!!!

...because frankly I don't know that it's worth 2 whole cents.

Anyway, hub and I were discussing this topic last night, and while we agree that those who have chosen to raise children do get a few financial perks (and weighed against the cost of raising a child, I stress the word "few") from the structure of our taxation system, there is a bigger picture here.

These children that are being raised will do the voting, the community maintenance, the marrying, the begatting, and (one to really remember) the paying of the taxes that will support the generation who came before and are at an age that no longer earns a steady income. It's a whole circle of life thing, to quote....well, you know. And their support of that older generation will not pick and choose between those elderly who had children and those who did not. It all comes together, and works out in the end.

There is no right or wrong in the choosing to have children, or to remain childless. But it is an absolute that the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow, and as a society, I think it makes perfect sense to make some of the financial stress of that responsibility a little lighter.

Andy, this has absolutely nothing to do with anything....I just had to say that I LOVE the quote that's in your signature. What a great philosophy for life!
