[LCFinance] Stimulus Payment Help

[Christine Dodson]

Friends,

 

The IRS is trying to enlist help from organizations in letting folks who
would be entitled to receive an economic stimulus payment but do not
normally file a tax return know what they need to do to get their
payments.  I have included the write up from the IRS below.  Please keep
this in mind as you consider if there might be any retired individuals
in your churches who could benefit from this and maybe let them know how
they can get more information.

Economic Stimulus Payments: How Organizations Can Help

 	 
 

 	 
The IRS is encouraging various partners and stakeholders such as
charities, churches and governmental organizations to assist in efforts
to reach out to those Americans who may be eligible for the 2008
economic stimulus payment but who normally have no requirement to file a
tax return. People who receive certain Social Security, Veterans
Affairs, Railroad Retirement or wages from earned income or combat pay
may be eligible and not know it.

The IRS has created a special Web page for interested organizations:
Economic Stimulus Payments: Marketing Products for Partners
<http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179735,00.html> . This page
contains one-page flyers that you can copy, the Package 1040A-3 (a
10-page booklet that contains everything certain people need to file a
return today), Radio PSAs, Logos, etc. This page is part of the Economic
Stimulus Payments Information Center
<http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=177937,00.html>  on IRS.gov, which
provides information on eligibility and other requirements. The IRS
appreciates any assistance you can provide.
