not sure if this is true or not but rumors are whispering in my office…anyone else heard of De creating a temporary sales tax to decrease the deficit in the states budget…
No but Cigarettes went up
The Alcohol Tax went up by 50%
The income tax is going up to 6.75% and if your well paid 6.95%
State employees are being forced to take 10% pay cuts and a few teacher friends of mine said they are really getting <10% and more hours.
Funny I heard those same rumors while I was at a show this weekend.
i know that the obama administration has adjusted that tax tables so you may be seeing an extra $20 a week here shortly in your check…no economic stimulus for us citizens, just an extra $20 plus a week…
if jack doesnt get the sports betting to go through, i think we may be looking at delawares first ever sales tax…well see…
Yea, but you gotta report it on your 2010 taxes don’t you?
yeah, it’ll be in box one of your w-2 at year end, but its supposed to create some relief consistently through the year, lmao…
depending on which tax bracket you fall into, at year end you may on make an additional $750 or something relatively close to that…
the economic stimulus from last year isnt taxable, but theres no such thing as a free lunch…
there was a study i was reading where they audited 50 millionaires, and i dont even think half of them paid a penny of federal tax at years end…congress is really pushing off shore accounts to release info…some of these guys may end up getting crushed…or just relocating countries…
The economic stimulus last year was taxable. When you do your taxes, it asks if you got it, how much, and adjusts your tax/rebate by the same.

Not 100% accurate. What you see happening is that if you don’t report that you received it TurboTax automatically adds it to your refund amount as you can claim it now if certain criteria are met. if you then go back and adjust your taxes to claim it you see it removed from the “refund amount” but it is not taxable.
Makes sense, I can tell you it was there, then gone. I was hopeful for a minute.
So was I - took me a few minutes to figure out what happened.
And I am still trying to explain it to my wife.
Its called the recovery rebate credit…everyone was getting $600 per person and spouse…and $300 for each dependent…if you didn’t get your maximum credit paid to you last year, your eligible to get the remainder…some people may have some of their credit dissallowed last year because of higher income, so if you didnt have those $5000 dividends in 2008, or a massive win at Delaware Park, or you didnt touch that 401k and eat the penalty…the list goes on…
the funny thing is that state refunds are taxable on your federal if you return if you itemized in the previous year
