Will I get my stimulus amount when I do my e-filing this year ?

You will simply file and they will add any additional funds you are due if you qualified for something for last year. You will see two areas on the forms, one asks for how much you got last year, you put zero, then it says how much for this year, (meaining 2008), leave that blank and the IRS program will do the research and add any additional monies you are owed, its that simple!! This is what they IRS says to do, and it will depend on each situation, so dont spend money you dont know if you will get or not. Itll be a suprise.
