The credit will be given for the 2006 year and the return filed before April 15th 2007.
So looks like you'll have to wait a year to get the credit.


This may be wishful thinking, but some types of credits like the earned income credit, the govt has a method of paying the taxpayer before the tax return is filed. Maybe a way to get uncle sam's money earlier. Any body know if this is a possibility? I'm not getting my hopes up.
