Some info excerpted from online.

1.Most taxpayers could expect a rebate of up to $600 starting in mid-May.

2.Couples could get twice as much, with even more for most families with children.

3.Individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000 and couples with income exceeding $150,000 would get smaller checks. Contributions to individual retirement accounts, 401(k) retirement accounts and health savings accounts would not count toward the limits.

4.For middle-class people, the rebates are fairly straightforward. Most individuals would get a $600 rebate, couples would get $1,200, and those amounts would rise with the size of their families. High- and low-income people, however, would get only a partial benefit.

5.People with income less than $75,000 would get a rebate equal to the taxes they paid in 2007, up to $600. Couples with income less than $150,000 could get up to $1,200. Those who earned more than $3,000 but owed little or no taxes would get a flat $300, or $600 per couple.

6.A family of four with income of $95,000 would get $1,800 _ $1,200 for the couple and $300 for each child _ a family of four with income of $160,000 would get less, and the same family making $200,000 would get nothing.

7.Income of $160,000 would put a family $10,000 above the income threshold, reducing the benefit by $500 for a rebate of $1,300. The wealthier family, which falls $50,000 above the threshold, would see its rebate vanish under the formula.
