Because that's how Congress wrote the laws. A child no longer qualifies the parents for the child tax credit the year s/he turns 17. The parents may be entitled to the stimulus payment, in accordance with the rules therefor, but will not qualify for the additional amount designated for children under the age of 17.

How do you file federal tax on Workmans compensation settlement to get stimulus payment?

Workman's compensation is NOT eligible for the stimulus payment. You will not get the money based on workman's comp. You must have EARNED income. Only if you have worked and earned over 3,000 you are eligible, if you receive SS payments, SSDI and RR retirement payments. Worker's comp, SSI, Welfare, and any other type of UNEARNED income does NOT qualify for the payment.

You haven't worked in 2 yrs and you have 2 qualifying children Can you file taxes and get earned income credit?

IF you did NOT have any qualified EARNED income pay wages. self employment, etc that you worked for (EARNED INCOME) then you would NOT be qualified for any of the EITC amount. Did you qualify for and file a 2007 1040 federal income tax return for the tax year 2007 in the year 2008 and receive the economic stimulus payment in the year 2008 IF you qualified for it???? If you were qualified for and did NOT file the 2007 1040 income tax return you have until April 18, 2011 to file the 2007 1040 income tax return before the economic stimulus payment will no longer be available to you. To check and see if you qualify go to the IRS gov website to look at the requirements for this purpose use the search box for Economic Stimulus Payment Q and A Eligibility
