At least starting next year the State will stop the taxing of the military retirement checks so my husband is very happy with that as we can not longer claim our children.

It is taxable income from the governemnt and you will have to claim it on your 2008 taxes.
I received a paper from the IRS and it said it is not taxable income and that you don't have to show it on your next year taxes.

Slight correction: It is not a rebate at all. It is taxable income from the governemnt and you will have to claim it on your 2008 taxes. For many people it will be the difference between recieving a refund or having to owe next year.
For all wondering, think of it as a "Happy April 15, 2009 suckers" from the IRS.
