Is trust fund income qualifying income?

Question

i receive 1200.00$ a month from a relatives trust fund. i am a single father with two children. this is my only income. does this income qualify for the stimulus payment?

Answer 1

No, trust fund income isn't qualifying income.  If you paid any income tax for 2007, that would be the other way to be eligible for a stimulus payment even without qualifying income, but with that income and two children you probably didn't pay income tax on it either.

Answer 2

No, since the trust pays the income tax and not you.
