Ahh, there are so many little rules on what you could get. I didn't know you could get $600 if you made more money. I barely came under $3000 for the year and still got the $300 The major reason why I filed this year was cause of the stimulus, haha.

I know if you are married its an extra $300, plus $300 per each child under 17 years of age. You can get up to $1200.
