What's New for 2007
Earned Income Credit (EIC) You may be able to take the EIC if you earned less than $12,590 ($14,590 if married filing jointly). See the instructions for lines 8a and 8b that begin on page 10.
Mailing Your Return You may be mailing your return to a different address this year because the IRS has changed the filing location for several areas. If you received an envelope with your tax package, please use it. Otherwise, see Where Do You File? on the back cover.

If you were not required to file a 2006 return, see the 2006 Form 1040EZ-T.
