some tax related questions and FTBa&b 'bonus' type payment?

[skybie]

it usually comes about 2 weeks after ur tax return is lodged

oh right, i get it. so is it 650ish for each child or just the one?

i still think it is wierd that i got my child care stuff seperately to everything else though. got it about 3 days after i lodged my return online. havent had any tax return $$ yet either.

[skybie]

its $700 per child

I got my CC payment yesterday - I rang to check what it was for and they said that the FTB reconciliation should be done by September 1 and if I hadn't heard from them by then to contact them.

Hope that helps!

oh thanks janie. glad to know they did the two seperate payments for you too. thanks skybie... $700 x 2 sounds good to me! :-)

there are two supplements on to of any arrears you may get for overestimating
if you accurately or overestimated your income, there is a payment of 711 and some odd cents per child for ftba. there is another if you qualify for ftbb - around 358 per family.
