Rebate Recovery Worksheet for 2008

[Randy W]

On Form 1040 Instruction, pages 62 and 63

 

It looks to me, being a little bit better in math than Bobby (SL in H&CQ) is, that on this worksheet on pages 62 and 63 in the Instruction book, you can figure up your rebate based on your 2008 income situation. You then subtract the amount of any rebate(s) that you received in 2007, and then report the amount you would LIKE to receive in 2008 on line 70 of your 1,040.

 

Of course, I'm not an accountant or anything, but it seems to me if your Chinese spouse acquired a social security number too late for your 2007 return, or if you acquired a SPOUSE too late for your 2007 return, that this is the perfect opportunity for you to even things up with the IRS, and get your FULL rebate.

 

Social security numbers ARE required, just like last year.
