T.C.
Sorry, I’m in the same boat as you, I live 135 miles from my closes V.A Hospital, I have had 13 major surgeries. and I asked if I could go to a doctor closer to me. yes they said they have a VA clinic about 50 miles from me, the problem with this is, its also a private doctor and he contracted to take veterans? that’s a joke and the doctor has a attitude that would scare a ghost..I went there once and never again..the answer to your question is NO, I’m sorry, but we are being taken care of by the “Gov. Health Care System”…

I am a 100% disabled vet( service connected) and live 50 miles away from the nearest VA hospital and 67 years old. Does anyone know of any way I can go to a local doctor for treatment and have the VA pay for my the treatment I receive. If you know anyway this is possible.

What a deal!! We received the stimulus back in June, $250. Do your taxes and now you have to give it back. The statement I read said it was non taxable, well it was. It was a personal loan I never requested from the government. How does that work? I really wish they hadn’t given it to me; and would have never accepted knowing I had to give it back. So did it reduce my credits? Because we should get them back now that they have their money back.
My stimulus was when I found out I had to pay it back. Boy was I “stimulated”,.. wrong word.

Am I missing something here???
Per the 1040 Instructions, page 6, “Economic recovery payment. Any economic recovery payment you received is not taxable for federal income tax purposes, but it reduces any making work pay credit or government retiree credit. See pages 29 and 47.”

I am in the same boat. I owed $518.00 and now owe $250.00 more. Thats like giving us a $250.00 gift certificate to buy furniture to help stimulate the economy and then taxing us $250.00 for using the gift certificate. Our whole Government needs a foot in their ***. How many man hours will be wasted by people complaining about this. This whole stimuls ideal was a waste of time. Our Senators, Congressman, and Predsident all need to be moved out of office in the next two years. I have had enough of the Governemtn taking money from me while they throw millions to AIG staff and other rich ******* that ******* up the economy. Let them fail that way another company will grow with hopefully better ethics.

Vote out you Senators, Congressman and the President.

We just filed our tax returns and it was kicked back because we were supposed to claim that $250 stimulus check. Our refund was reduced by the full $250. In other words, that refund was merely an interest free loan. Another government scam — what a bunch of bull!!

No… What a big SHAM!!! I didn’t ask for it either, saw it in the bank when it came and ask the bank about it. They claimed it was a payment from the VA. Little did I know that now I owe that amount back to the government. Guess that’s how the stimulus works. Tax the Americans, give part of their money back to be taxed again and then expect them to pay the stimulus back. Kind of like double dipping. Why not just tax us twice up front and then leave us alone.

What a sham! I did not ask for the money. Didn’t stimulate me one dang bit to find out after doing my taxes and expecting a $45 return, I get rejected by Fed and state. I now owe Fed $205 and get a change back from the state. Please don’t send me anymore of those Obama dollars. I rather be left alone. After 20+ years in the military, almost deaf and a bad knee, I can’t aford the help and don’t need the loan.
