  if the only income you have is from SS, then put that number on line 14a of form 1040. the rest will be 0’s. on page 2 fill in your bank info. you will get $300 back from the stimulus package. If you have troubles take it to a profession. ask him/her to do it for $15-$25. for that type of work thats not unreasonable.

  In addition to what Preston said, be sure to fill out the top two sections of the front page (name, ss#, address, and filing status and number of exemptions) and be sure to sign on the back at the bottom.

  At this point, you will be getting a paper check in the mail.
