I sent my US taxes over a month ago and have heard nothing back at all. I hope they got it. I live in Canada, but do i still qualify? The IRS site is a bit skechy about that.

Living in canada shouldn't disqualify you. Not reporting any earned income might (ie. excluding it all thru FEIE).
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best

Yeah i used the foreign earned income credit, i think its on the first 85,300 that is nontaxable. I just hope they recieved my tax return, i don't want any problems down the road. I checked the IRS site and punched in the numbers for the rebate and it can't find it, saying either it was still processing or i didn't file a return which i know i did.
