Disability Income Qualfies for Tax Rebates

… If you didn’t owe federal income tax for 2007, you can still get a rebate of $300 (single) or $600 (married filing jointly) if you and/or your spouse had at least $3,000 in what the IRS calls qualifying income.

Qualifying income includes earnings from a job or self-employment, certain Social Security benefits, certain railroad retirement benefits, certain veterans’ benefits and nontaxable combat pay if it is included as earned income on a tax return.
