The fine print: *The posted price markdown will not be applied at the cashier, but rather applied as a tax credit if your total net income is less than $250,000. This offer can and will be applied as a subsidy towards a $500 tax credit ($1,000 a couple) that phases out at income of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 per couple; or a 4,000 tax credit for college tuition; a 10% mortgage interest tax credit (on top of the existing mortgage interest deduction and other housing subsidies); a “savings” tax credit of 50% up to $1,000.
