ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE!

  • AARP Tax-Aide Volunteers nationwide can help you file for the Stimulus Payment. This nationwide program is free of charge and focuses on the 50+ with low to moderate income.
  • To find a Tax-Aide site near you call 1-888-687-2277 or go to http://www.aarp.org/taxaide
  • Even if you are not otherwise required to file a tax return, you may still be entitled to an
    economic stimulus payment from the federal government.


WHAT YOU COULD GET:

  • You could receive a payment of $300 for individuals or $600 if you are
    married and file a joint tax return with your spouse.
  • Eligible taxpayers who qualify for a payment may receive an additional $300 for each qualifying child. To qualify a child must be under age 17 as of December 31, 2007.


WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

  • All you have to do to get the stimulus payment is file a 2007 IRS Form
    1040 or Form 1040A and report at least $3,000 in qualifying income on the form.
  • You can includethe amount of your SSA benefits to qualify for the stimulus payment.


QUALIFYING INCOME:

  • Add the amount of your Social Security benefits to other qualifying
    income, such as wage earnings or certain benefits paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs, to reach the $3,000 requirement.
  • However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as qualifying income for the stimulus payment.


WHAT YOU FILL OUT:

  • You will enter your name, address, Social Security Number, and filing
    status on the form.
  • Then just enter the amount of benefits reported to you in January on Form
    1099-SSA on Line 14a of Form 1040A or Line 20a of Form 1040.
  • In addition, you should write the words “Stimulus Payment” at the top of the 1040A or 1040.
