Internal Revenue Service Informative - Economic Stimulus Payment - Filing A Tax Return
Filing A Tax Return
ANYWHERE, USA -- I thought this information could be important for those who usually don't file an income tax return and earn over $3,000 a year. If this pertains to you or someone you know, please read this important information.
Qualifying income is earned income, as well as Social Security benefits, railroad retirement benefits and veterans' disability compensation, pension or survivors' benefits.
These people usually aren't required to file a tax return, but this year they definitely should so they can receive their economic stimulus payment. They are the people that this could benefit most and they need to know that they must file a tax return in order to receive their payment.
To make it even more cost effective, low and moderate-income workers can get FREE tax help through the AARP Tax-Aide Program. To find a site near you, call IRS at 800-829-1040 or AARP at 888-227-7669 or visit the AARP Web site at 222.aarp.org/money/taxaide.
The article that I read today said most of these non-filers will probably not be aware of what they need to do, so please pass this on to your friends or loved ones. I know that these individuals could really use this extra boost.

Now what about people that are legally disabled and have paid the stinking IRS since I was 14, yet the IRS takes it apron them self’s to screw up my records so they don't have to pay me disability?

Lidman, thank you and good question. Anyone? That does suck though and I would guess it's very convenient for them--but not you, of course.

Good information, thanks. I learned a month or so ago some individuals who are in the higher income tax bracket and are of an older age, have taken themselves off the payroll.. if you wish.. and are using the interest from investments for their income. This is not earned income, so they fall into another category. Earned Income vs Interest Income. Interesting. Thanks again.

Thanks, nohandle, for the additional info. I hope at least one person reads this that can benefit or people will pass this on to those who may be unaware.
