Her weekly check is in the $60.-$70. range. Last year, 2009, there were no Federal Withholding taxes taken from her check. Thus, at the end of the year we did not have to file a 1040EZ to get the amount she paid in back. Now, we found that the taxes are again being taken out. Anyone know why?????

Thanks obamanomics. Glad to see this went into effect, as I got my first paycheck under this new tax “cut”, it actually decreased my take home pay by 2.50 a week. Thanks obamanomics.

I understand I will receive an extra $25. in my unemployment check, but will this effect my $400 credit? I am single and now make less than $75,000 a year. The extra $25. a week will add up to alot more than $400. If this is not applicable to the credit, do I file for the credit with my 2009 tax return? Thanks!

I am 73 years old and have been on Social Secuirty for 11 years. From all I've read my wife [age 71 and working full time and also a SS recepient] are not eligilible to receive the "Make Work Tax Credit" reduction in our tax withholding on our paychecks. We will, however, received $250. in one payment sometime in May or June. The County for which I work says they cannot change the withholding rates so that my withholding rate would remain the same as it was in February. I do not qualify for the MKTCredit and do no want it taken from my paychecks. how do I convince the County I am receiving a tax credit for which I am no eligible and do not want taken from my paycheck???????
