Hi
I was on H1 until 2009 and my on H4. When we filed for tax return in 2009 (for year 2008) we were not eligible to receive stimulus rebate because my wife had an ITIN and not an SSN. Now we both have green cards and she has a valid SSN. I think we should be able to claim some portion of last year's stimulus checks. How can we do that. We also had a child born in December 2008 but did not get his portion of stimulus either because of my wife's ITIN. If its possible to claim the stimulus check this year then how much can we claim?
Thanks
