Got my $600 Bush "economic stimulus" check yesterday. Spent it already on paying off my credit card. The rest is going to be used to buy gas and food. What are you buying with yours?
What are you going to do with your tax rebate check?

In summary, the author is spending their $600 check on items such as food, gas, and a new laptop for their child. They are also planning to use some of the money to pay back some of their previous economic stimulus.

I'm not even sure if I'm getting one, but if I do, it's going straight in the bank. 
I'll spend it next year when the real estate market really is really tanked and I buy a house (I contemplated it this summer, but I need to be sure I can transfer departments for a more permanent position before I buy a house, so have to renew my lease one more year).

part of it I will use to pay off some of the previous economic stimulating I've been doing. The remainder will be used to do some more stimulating in the form of some much needed items and tools to refurbish my mountain bike.

I still have to pay for the classes I took this year, so I guess mine is already spent.

Travel and party!
One of my sons graduates in May (travel) and is getting married in June (rehearsal dinner). The $1200 check is just a down payment on these expenses.

I won't get one.
I don't live in the USA.
If I did I guess I would fill my SUV up.

Part will be used on a local vacation, and the rest saved for a rainy day.
1. What is a tax rebate check?
A tax rebate check is a refund from the government for overpaid taxes. It is typically given out to individuals or households who have paid more in taxes than they owe.
2. How much will the tax rebate check be?
The amount of the tax rebate check varies depending on individual circumstances such as income, filing status, and number of dependents. The maximum amount for individuals is $1,200 and for married couples filing jointly it is $2,400.
3. When will I receive my tax rebate check?
The timing of the tax rebate check depends on when you filed your taxes and how you chose to receive your refund. If you filed electronically and chose direct deposit, you can expect to receive your rebate check within a few weeks. If you filed a paper return, it may take longer, up to several months.
4. Do I have to pay taxes on my tax rebate check?
No, the tax rebate check is considered a refund and is not subject to additional taxes. However, if you received an advance payment of the tax credit in 2020, you may need to report it on your tax return and it could affect your tax liability.
5. Can I use my tax rebate check for anything I want?
Yes, you can use your tax rebate check for any expenses or purchases you choose. However, it is recommended to use it for essential expenses such as bills, groceries, or savings. You may also consider using it to pay off debts or invest in your future.
