re: Those spending the child tax credit check on misc expenses

Using the child tax credit check on things like getting their hair and nails done, new cell phone, new fake lashes, do they feel guilty not spending it on their kids?

You made this your business, why?

I said even if I send it back, I still pay for it and what I said was 100% correct.

It just makes no sense. If you qualify for it, you get it. It's fully refundable, if you don't qualify for it, then you don't. It's really fricking simple.

quote:

There is no free money. This is not hard to understand.

This has nothing to do with what you said unless you write like you have down syndrome and can't make a coherent point.

You can understand something and disagree with it.

Or you can write indiscernable word salad and then call other people stupid.

Who's money is it?. The government has never had it's own money.

Tax payers will have to pay for it for generations. This is not free money.

Your drivel really has nothing to do with what anyone is talking about

You just don't have an intelligent rebuttal to it.

I understand what you are saying, it's just irrelevant to the conversation of the thread.

quote:

---

Giving out "free" money increases the tax burden on those who actually pay taxes

Not necessarily

is obvious to everyone but you, is increasing both inflation and soon to be taxes.

Inflation, no, soon to be taxes, maybe.

Your responses are emotional and ignorant. Period.

The only responses that are emotional are yours. You are waxing poetic about a completely different topic, that you probably also know nothing about.

wait what’s this wizardry I’ve yet to hear of? They sending out EBT disaster stamps too?

---

Each of my kids got EBT cards in the mail a couple weeks ago. They each had $240 on them. We didn’t ask or apply for them nor should we even qualify for them.

I don’t understand all this wasteful spending

Tn resident. $145k joint (sole) income. Straight to 529 plans.

This is the kicker. Say a married couple with two children over age 5 and $220,000 of income got a $500 refund for 2020. Their 2021 income is similar, so that’s too high for this year’s extra child credit. But they’ll still get permanent credits totaling $4,000—and receive half of that in prepayments this year of about $333 a month.
Next year, when they do their 2021 tax return, the $2,000 of prepayments won’t be available to lower their tax bill. So instead of getting a $500 refund, they could owe the IRS $1,500.

Yep. We can totally afford all of this bullshite.

I understand there's inflation, however blaming it on a one year advanced credit is asinine.
