On a similiar note, my brother(retired army) recieved $250 veterans stimulus check last year. Guess what? The IRS called this year and said he owed $251.00 in taxes for the $250.00 veterans benifit he recieved!
When I filed my taxes last year, that was what held it up. It's nice that the gov floated me a loan I didn't need or want with a dollar as interest.
