I am on Disability and I filed my 1040EZ I forgot to fill in the dependent part. I have a 13 year old son.?

Question

They sent me 2 forms of 1040EZ and I sent the one i did not put depents on. I sent the one in that I was keeping as a copy and it did not have my dependent son on it. Now I am going to only be recieving $300 and not $600..So if you can please let me know what I can do. Thank-you.

Answer 1

Sorry, too late now to add a dependent and get the stimulus for him.  And the packet that social securiy sent out had 2 copies of form 1040A, not EZ.

Answer 2

Nothing.  The rebate is based on your original return.

If you have no taxable income, adding your son won't make a difference on a 1040x.  The 2nd chance worksheet on the 2008 return may apply.

By the way, what kind of disability?  Only SSA and VA disability payments counted towards the $3000 income.

Answer 3

You can not claim  depents or dependents on Form 1040-EZ.  You will have to file an amended return to claim your son.

Answer 4

If you are getting SSI, you will not be getting a rebate because SSI income does not qualify for the rebate program.
