Making work pay credit

[ILLMAS]

TP after retirement continued to work, she did recieve SSA benefits during the year, TP doesn't remember getting the $250, would it be wise to only claim the difference from $400-$250=$150??

Thanks

When did she start getting the SS?

When did she start getting the SS?

Since 2008, so she recieved benefits for the whole year of 2009.

Then yes, it's almost certain that she got the $250.
