RECOVERY REBATE CREDIT WORKSHEET

As we have discussed quite a bit, there is a lot of confusion over how the rebates will be handled on the 2008 tax returns, both for people who receive checks and for those who don't.

The IRS has just released this draft of the instructions for the 2008 1040. On pages 18 and 19 are the rebate credit worksheets for computing the amounts to enter on Line 70 of the 1040. Add this in… think this is confusing. Check out the two page, 29 line form that you have to fill out to determine if your rebate is correct.
