Taking those funds into account, Hopefully I get away with paying less than 5000

If they send it, keep it. Good for you. Government giving you free money you didnt ask for is not the time nor place to declare your moral superiority and pound your chest. Take it, invest it, enjoy it, buy something frivolous with it, donate it. Its YOURS.

Two problems with "free money"; 

1)  What tax burden are we ultimately just imposing on ourselves and/or deferring to our children?

2)  The National Debt is currently at $27,678,337,188,396 and increasing about 7 grand per second.  How high can it go without collapse?  What's the magic number, beyond which the house of cards comes tumbling down?
