Have you plugged in the numbers in the online calculator? SoCalDem Jul 2013 #15

A THOUSAND BUCKS A MONTH??? Cronus Protagonist Jul 2013 #37

No,it says $164 bucks a month, not a thousand. You get a tax credit if you're in that income range. TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #40

Tax credit means you still have to pay the cash through the year Cronus Protagonist Jul 2013 #42

yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not going to work like that. Schema Thing Jul 2013 #45

Okay, I just used the same calculator, punched in the same numbers for a single person and TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #90
