Why Was The Stimulus Taken Out Of My Tax Return.?

I don't know what you mean by "taken out of your tax return."  What tax return (what year?)?  It was a check separate from your refund.  Back taxes or some other obligation might have been paid using the stimulus money, but the money itself is not taxable as income.

I have the same question! I entered all my usual information into taxcut.com & was showing about the usual estimated return. And once I got to the screen asking about the stimulus check, I typed it in & it was subtracted from the estimated return. I'm not really understanding why this wasn't made clear last year. I would have opted to have that stimulus money with my yearly return. People count on those returns.

I also had the same problem,when I talked to the tax prep,people the told me the IRS is the one taking peoples money, I had thought I owed them, but like the lady said , we always file with the same company every year, and never had to pay the IRS.

That's why they gave us the money persay. So they can take it all back. Everyone should have know the gov. Wasn't that nice to really give people money. They are taking the stimulus check amount out of your taxes
