source: IRSMaking work pay credit. You may be able to take a credit of up to $400 ($800 if married filing jointly) if you have earned income from work. Even if your federal income tax withholding was reduced during 2009 because of the credit, you must complete Schedule M and claim the credit on your return to benefit from it. You cannot take the credit if the amount you enter on line 5 is $95,000 ($190,000 if married filing jointly) or more, you are a nonresident alien, or you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.
The credit is reduced if either of the following statements is true:
You (or your spouse, if filing jointly) received a $250 economic recovery payment during 2009. You may have received an economic recovery payment if you received social security benefits, supplemental security income (SSI) benefits, railroad retirement benefits, or veterans disability compensation or pension benefits.
