circumstances</b> qualify for what's known as a "recovery rebate credit" in 2009.</p><p>The IRS gave out $95 billion in stimulus payments in 2008, thanks to the Economic Growth Act enacted Feb. 13 of that year.  The act was designed to stimulate the economy by providing payments of as much as $600 per person, $1,200 per couple and $300 per child to most Americans.  </p><p>The IRS expects to distribute another $10 billion worth of stimulus payments in 2009 to millions of people who:</p><ul> <li>Are eligible, but didn't get one in 2008</li> <li>Got a partial payment, but are entitled to more based on their 2008 financial situation</li> <li>Weren't eligible last year but are now , due to a change in their circumstances</li></ul><p>What kinds of changes? These could include a decrease or an increase in income, or the birth or adoption of a child in 2008.</p> </div> <div class="article_block" style="border-top: 1px solid #ccc; padding-top:10px;"> <div class="article_block_title">Same rules, but a different payment method</div> <p>If you should qualify, the rules remain generally the same as the prior year, but you would receive your payment in a different way.</p><p>The original tax rebates, or stimulus payments, were sent to recipients in 2008, either by mail or by direct deposit to  their bank accounts -- separate and apart from their regular tax refunds.</p><p>With the recovery rebate, however, you wouldn't get a payment separately. If you qualify, it would be applied to your 2008 taxes. So you would either get a larger refund or owe less tax.</p><p><b>TurboTax will do the calculations for you, tell you whether you qualify for a recovery rebate, and let you know how it affects your taxes.</b></p> </div>  <div class="article_block"> <div><img width="478" height="3" src="/web/20090228040323im_/http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/images/detail/tip_top.gif" alt=""/></div> <div class="tip_block"> <div class="article_block_title">First step for getting a recovery rebate?

That's total income minus certain adjustments, like IRA contributions.</p><p>Stimulus payments are reduced starting at $75,000 AGI for single persons, and $150,000 AGI for married couples. A payment is decreased by 5 percent of AGI income over the limit.</p><p><b>However, if the taxpayers have children, the calculations get a bit tricky. </b></p><p><b>The good news is that they might qualify for more money than the income cutoffs would seem to allow. And TurboTax figures it out for you.</b></p><p>Here's how it works:</p><ul> <li>A single woman with no children, who pays more than $600 in taxes, could in theory qualify for a $600 rebate. If her AGI is $80,000, and therefore above the $75,000 limit, her rebate is reduced by $250 (that's 5 percent of the $5,000 over the limit) for a payment of $350. However, if the same woman has two children, her stimulus payment is $950. That's $600 for herself plus $300 for each child, or $1,200, minus $250 (the 5 percent over the limit).</li> <li>A married couple with no children, who pay more than $1,200 in taxes, could in theory get a $1,200 rebate. If  their AGI is $180,000, they would get no rebate. That's because 5 percent of the $30,000 over the limit is $1,500, which exceeds the $1,200 rebate.  However, if the same couple has three children, they get a stimulus payment of $600. That's $1,200 for the couple, plus $900 for the three children for a total of $2,100, minus $1,500 (or 5 percent of the $30,000 over the threshold).</li></ul><p><b>Taxpayers who had high incomes in 2007, but saw their incomes drop in 2008, could qualify for a recovery rebate.</b></p><ul> <li>If the single woman with two children, in the example above, saw her income drop from $75,000 in 2007 to $70,000 in 2008, she could get a recovery rebate of $250, in addition to the $950 based on her 2007 return. The $250 had been subtracted from her $1,200 stimulus payment because she was over the limit the first year.</li></ul> </div>  <div class="article_block"> <div><img width="478" height="3" src="/web/20090228040323im_/http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/images/detail/tip_top.gif" alt=""/></div> <div class="tip_block"> <div class="article_block_title">Can I use a number different than my Social Security number to qualify?</div> <img width="55" height="55" style="float:left;" border="0" src="/web/20090228040323im_/http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/images/icons/tip.png" alt=""/> <p><strong>Note:</strong> To get a rebate, you and your dependents must each have a <strong>valid Social Security number. </strong></p><p>Other numbers issued by the IRS, such as a Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) or an Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN) will not be accepted.</p><ul> <li>If a couple files a joint tax return, and one spouse has a Social Security number and one has an ITIN, both will be disqualified (<strong>with one exception for military couples, see below</strong>).
