You may be eligible for a $400 credit ($800 if married filing jointly) if you had earned income as an employee.  Your credit will be reduced if your Adjusted Gross Income is over $75,000 ($150,000 if married filing jointly) or if you take the government retiree credit or if you received the $250 Economic Recovery Payment.  You would have received that payment if you received Social Security, Railroad Retirement or Veterans Disability Compensation.
