DID YOU OR YOUR STAFF REMEMBER TO FILE A TAX RETURN …



DID YOU OR YOUR STAFF REMEMBER TO FILE A TAX RETURN FOR THE DOLLARS YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO GET FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (THE ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE)? This one-time opportunity has not passed you by!

IT IS NOT TOO LATE!

YOU CANNOT GET THE MONEY IF YOU DON’T FILE AN INCOME TAX FORM. EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T FILE - YOU ARE STILL ELIGIBLE UNTIL OCTOBER 15, 2008.

THESE SIMPLE RULES APPLY:

1. To receive a payment in 2008 you have to file a 1040A 2007 tax return. You can file the return any time up to October 15, 2008.

2. You must sign the 1040A tax form; if you cannot sign, you may make your mark and have it witnessed by two other people.

3. You only have to fill in a few lines of the 1040A to receive your economic stimulus payment. Write at the top of the form “STIMULUS PAYMENT.”

4. You cannot use a 1040EZ form.

5. You must have received at least $3000 in 2007 in qualifying income.

Income includes wages reported on your W2 for and/or SSDI/SSDA income reported on form 1099, but NOT SSI income.

6. Most people who are eligible should have already received a form 1099 SSA for the amount they received in 2007; this is the amount they should enter on line 14a of the 1040A. If you don't have a copy of the 1099 SSA, but you know what the amount was for the year, you may use that estimate.

7. You must have a valid Social Security Number.

8. If you are named as a dependent on someone else's return, you cannot file for this rebate.

9. The rebate will generally be between $300 and $600 for a qualifying person with no dependents.

10. The rebate is not considered income. You will have 60 days from the time you get it to spend it or put it in a Special Needs Trust. After 60 days, you will have to count what is left as part of your “Resources.”
