IRS Stimulus?

actually ron,there is more than 1 thread about this so you arenot the only one having problems.

Get out!

Thanks, I'll do a search for it.

Paul.

OK, do you have maybe the links for them, or know where I can find them? Did a search under IRS and came up with only 2 related threads, the rest had to do with owing back taxes.

Ron -

The IRS site states the following about qualifying for the stimulus payment:

[quote]The easiest way to find out is to use the Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator. Most people with a 2007 net income tax liability will qualify. This includes most people who get tax refunds. Net income tax liability is the amount shown on Form 1040, Line 57 plus the amount on Line 52. For 1040A filers, it is the amount on Line 35 plus the amount on Line 32. For Form 1040EZ filers, it is the amount on Line 10.

Families with children under 17 generally will qualify for an additional payment. Some people with no tax liability also will qualify. This includes Social Security and Railroad Retirement beneficiaries, recipients of certain veterans???????? payments, low-income workers with earned income and/or benefits of at least $3,000 and individuals who have combined income of at least $3,000 from any combination of these sources.

Some higher-income taxpayers will not receive a stimulus payment or will receive a reduced payment.

Ron, I know it seems horribly unfair - those who are out of work, and have been for quite some time now, would need "stimulating" more than anyone, especially since there are so many out of work right now. (Trust me, I live in the state with the highest unemployment rate in the entire nation.) It seems very unfair, but it's what the IRS has been told to do by the powers that be.

No, I wasn't blaming the IRS at all. I know it would be the "powers that be" in DC that set the criteria for receiving this stimulus payment. It is just another example to me how out of touch with what's really going on in America they really are, though.

Thanks for posting the information on how you qualify for the payment. Sad thing is, I guess I was so ticked off I didn't even think to look on the IRS website. It does make sense, in an odd sort of way, after I read this how I wouldn't qualify.

But being the stubborn mule I am, I'm still don't have to like it!

LOL!

I am 50 yrs. old and I haven't ffiled any taxes since the 90's I am currently on disability. my cousin whom is also on disabillity in Arkansas told me that I was eligible for a stimulus payment from the IRS because he received one. I have a son who goes to school and takes care of me he just turned 18 on September 7,2008 and I would like to know how I could get help to receive one of these stimulus checks. Can I do this Online since I am without transportation at this time. Please contact me at my E-Mail Address: xxxxxx .com or you can call me at xxxxxx7018 Thank You very much Please Reply A.S.A.P.
Thanks Again Ms. Deborah Personal info removed for your safety..Bossy4455

Deborah, you need to file a tax return in order to get the stimulus check. If you receive a SSI check, you qualify to receive $300, but you need to file a return before Oct 15th, 2008.

You can use an on-line software program such as Turbotax (I know they don't charge for this service if you make less than a certain amount. B/c you are on disability, you more than likely qualify).

Get that return filed so you can get your stimulus check!

GREAT SUE,PAUL, RON AND ALL GREAT MEMBERS HERE.
