You May be able to get a “Stimulus Payment” check!

Even if you are one of the 20 million that do not normally, file taxes you may be eligible for a stimulus payment that was sent out automatically to those that filed taxes for 2007, that is if you receive at least 3,000 from Social Securitybenefits, veteransbenefits, certain other benefits and/or earned income in 2007. Getting your 300 or more check is easy, just fill out a simplified version of 1040A( you can get this from the IRS website or by calling your local IRS office, they can also answer any questions you have or send you a IRS publication that will “explain” what to do). AARP has a good tool to help you complete the form.

If you know someone that may be able to get a Stimulus payment, (other then you) encourage them to get theirs. Even help them fill out the forms. You have until Oct. 15 2008 to send the form in for it to go through. Who couldn’t use a few extra hundred dollars.
