Check if you received the economic recovery payment. This needs to be claimed in the Making Work Pay.

If you do not recall if you received the payment, please contact your respective agency below to verify before resubmitting the return claiming the Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credits. If you contact the agency and a discrepancy did occur, then the agency must provide you a letter confirming the discrepancy. You should not claim the Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credit when filing your return, instead, you will need to first file your return, once accepted, you will need to file an amended return and you must attach a copy of the agency letter confirming the discrepancy. - Social Security Administration: Toll-free number is 800-772-1213.
