The federal tax rebate checks are different from tax refund checks that the IRS usually sends out a couple weeks after a tax return is filed. Also, the tax rebate checks will be sent out separately from tax refunds, but no one knows for sure exactly when. It's possible that the rebate checks could begin arriving as early as May. The rebates will be based on 2008 tax returns, which are not due until April 15. So, if you're eligible for the tax rebate make sure to file your 2008 tax return.
