I'm sure it won't affect our 2007 returns. That year is all gone, but the gov't is sneaky. One of scenarios can be as follows: the economy revives thanks to hand-outs, though I doubt, and at the end of 2008 we'll get a suprise that we must declare rebates as income and due to that some will be tipped over the AMT threshold. But that's just my worst imagination, so pay no attention

How was it with the 2001 rebates? We didn't qualify, so I know nothing.
