How Do I Get My Rebate Check?
- Look at the chart above and find your source of income.
- If your income is eligible, you must file a 2007 tax return in order to get a rebate, even if you normally don't file because your income is too low to require a tax return.
- Think of your tax return as your ticket to the refund. If you don't have a ticket, the IRS won't know you're there and you won't get the rebate check.
When you go to the tax site you need to bring the following documents with you:
- Picture ID
- Social Security Card
- W-2s
- Social security end of year statements (SSA-1099 and/or RRB-1099)
- Pension/Retirement end of year statements (1099-R and/or RRB-1099-R)
- Unemployment income (1099-G)
- Bank account information for direct deposit
If you do not have your social security documents, please call the Social Security Administration at 1.800.772.1213.
