In reply to So can I send in $600 less or not., posted by seldomseen on April 12, 2008, at 18:02:01
Nope. You are supposed to pay your full taxes, and they will send you whatever amount they calculate (it isn't a flat $600 per person). See http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=180247,00.html
Also, you must file a return to receive a check, and this includes people who are not required to file a return but who would be eligible for a payment:
To receive an economic stimulus payment, people just need to file their tax returns as they usually do, said IRS Acting Commissioner Linda E. Stiff. The payments will be automatic for the vast majority of taxpayers. Some lower-income workers and recipients of certain Social Security and veterans benefits who dont normally need to file a tax return will need to do so in order to receive a stimulus payment."
