Q. What is the qualifying income for the economic stimulus payment?
A. There are two parts to the stimulus payment according to the IRS.
1.) You may be entitled to a payment based on tax liability if your adjusted gross income is within the qualifying limits of $75,000 or under for single and $150,000 or under for married filing jointly. The payment is equal to the taxpayer’s net income tax liability but not to exceed $600 for a single person or $1,200 for married filing jointly. There are additional amounts available if you have a qualifying dependent.
2.) If you have no tax liability, then you must have qualifying income of at least $3,000 which includes wages, self-employment income, social security SSA or Railroad Retirement Benefits RRB. The economic stimulus payment with this qualifying income will be a minimum payment of $300 for single or $600 for married couples.
