    I never saw a thread on this or if I did I skipped over it. So lock the thread if it already exists. Might be in the Debate & Discussion? Anyways, I just found out about this like last week. Pretty cool if you qualify.

    They tell me that I'm too rich for it. They obviously haven't seen either my bank account or my portfolio recently.

    I can't remember if I qualified or not... If I did yay, if I didn't then it's no loss to me. It would suck, but it's not like they took money away from me that I already had.

    1. Earned at least $3,000 last year while earning no more than $75,000. Double it if you filed jointly.

    2. Paid federal income tax.

    3. File your taxes this year.

    There may be more but those are the basics.
