This checklist can help you file a correct return. Mistakes can delay your refund or result in notices being sent to you.

	Enter the correct social security number for you and your spouse if married in the space provided on Form 1040EZ? Check that your name and SSN agree with your social security card.
	Use the amount from line 6, and the proper filing status, to find your tax in the Tax Table? Be sure you entered the correct tax on line 11.
	Go through the three steps on pages 12 through 14, if you thought you could take the EIC? If you could take the EIC, did you take special care to use the proper filing status column in the EIC Table?
	Check your math, especially when figuring your taxable income, federal income tax withheld, earned income credit, total payments, and your refund or amount you owe?
	Check one or both boxes on line 5 if you (or your spouse) can be claimed as a dependent on someone's (such as your parents') 2008 return? Did you check the box even if that person chooses not to claim you (or your spouse)? Did you leave the boxes blank if no one can claim you (or your spouse) as a dependent?
	Enter an amount on line 5? If you checked any of the boxes, did you use the worksheet on the back of Form 1040EZ to figure the amount to enter? If you did not check any of the boxes, did you enter $8,950 if single; $17,900 if married filing jointly?
	Sign and date Form 1040EZ and enter your occupation(s)?
	Use your peel-off label (if you got one)? If it did not show your correct name(s) and address, did you enter the right information? If you did not get a label, did you enter your name and address in the spaces provided on Form 1040EZ?
	Include your apartment number in your address if you live in an apartment?
	Attach your Form(s) W-2 to the left margin of Form 1040EZ?
	Include all the required information on your payment if you owe tax and are paying by check or money order? See the instructions for line 13 beginning on page 19 for details.
	File only one original return for the same year, even if you have not gotten your refund or have not heard from the IRS since you filed? Filing more than one original return for the same year or sending in more than one copy of the same return (unless we ask you to do so) could delay your refund.
