Making Work Pay Stimulus Credit

Americans with an AGI of less than $75k are eligible for a $400/per person stimulus credit.  The making work pay stimulus has been attracting noticeably less attention than other stimulus offerings.  For those that have normal paychecks the stimulus is applied directly through reduced withholdings.  Those that are self employed, do not have withholdings, or otherwise need to claim the credit may do so by filling out an IRS schedule M and requesting $400 on their 1040.

A video on the IRS’ channel on Youtube (The IRS is on Youtube!) explains the credit in better detail.  It can be viewed here.
