E-file returns that fallout to ERS may cause a delay in the processing for 2 to 3 weeks. The YES and NO boxes should be checked per the Schedule M line instructions. If the NO box is checked on line 10 or line 11 of the Schedule M, please do not enter an amount on either line. </P><P>On a joint return, if both spouses received an economic recovery payment in 2009, check the YES box and enter $500 on line 10 of the Schedule M.
