Can I still apply for the 2007 stimulas credit this year even though I missed the Oct. 15, 2008 deadline?

Yes. If you didn't qualify for a stimulus rebate last year, you may be eligible now based on your 2008 tax return.

If you look at the Form 1040, line 70, you will see something called the "recovery rebate credit"

Do the worksheet, put in the right number, and submit your return.
