How to get YOUR economic stimulus payment

Received from the Southeast Regional ADA Center

Congress has passed the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, which has been signed by the President and calls for the Treasury to deliver cash payments to 130 million American taxpayers. Download a fact sheet about the package. This statement verifies the importance of a person with disability filing a tax return even if not required to file.  In other words, if you are a person with a disability and you want to get your tax rebate, you MUST file a 2007 federal tax return, even if otherwise you are not required to file. The deadline to file an income tax return is April 15.

“Individuals who might not otherwise be required to file a 2007 tax return will need to file a return this year to receive the stimulus payment; In other words, low-income workers who had at least $3,000 in earned income in 2007 but do not otherwise earn enough to be required to file a federal tax return need to file a return in order to get the stimulus payment. Likewise, Social Security recipients, veterans and retired railroad workers who might not otherwise need to file a tax return must do so to receive the economic stimulus payment.”

Free federal tax preparation is available at participating Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Sites. To locate the VITA site nearest you, call 1-800-829-1040.
