Tax Relief: Economic Stimulus Payments

A very important part of tax relief is the receipt of economic stimulus payments. These payments will begin to roll out in May, 2008. In many instances, you have to do nothing. If you are eligible for a payment, all you do is file your 2007 tax return and leave the rest to the Internal Revenue Service.

In instances where the recipients of this form of tax relief are receiving social security benefits, are certain veterans, are receiving railroad retirement benefits or are low-income workers who don’t normally need to file a tax return; they will, more than likely, have to take certain steps to ensure that they receive their economic stimulus payment.


If you are a part of the group of people who would not normally have to file a tax return, you now need to file a tax return that shows you have at least $3,000 in qualifying income. You will, then, be able to claim this tax relief benefit. Qualifying incomes are social security benefits, certain veteran benefits, earned income in the form of wages, self–employment and tips, and certain railroad retirement benefits. It is vital to file a return and the IRS cannot emphasize this enough in order to qualify for an economic stimulus payment.

There is a sample version of the form 1040A available, highlighting the very simple and specific sections that must be completed. It is, also, important to note that phishing scams have already been making the rounds, where unscrupulous people are trying to take this money away from the people who are most in need of it. Beware of these and warn anyone you know who qualifies.
