Economic Stimulus Payments for the 20 Million Retirees The IRS to Send Out a Notice for Those Who Do Not File Taxes on a Regular Basis with Simple (More) The IRS to Send Out a Notice for Those Who Do Not File Taxes on a Regular Basis with Simple Instructions and a 1040A Form
More than 130 million Americans will receive economic stimulus payments this May from the U.S. Treasury, in an effort to boost spending and improve the economy. Among them are 20 million retirees, disabled veterans, certain railroad retirement recipients and low-wage workers that do not file taxes on a regular basis, but will have to this year in order to receive this benefit.
In an effort to reach them, the IRS will be sending out an "Economic Stimulus Payment Notice" that includes instructions and the 1040A form that they will have to file and send back to the IRS before October 15th, 2008. The form will ask for basic information like their name, their address and their social security number. To qualify, the person must have a valid social security number and an income of at least $3,000. The minimum stimulus payment is $300 for a single person and $600 for a married couple if they file together.
A very simple form, they can also call IRS volunteers or AARP volunteers if they need any help, or have any questions.

31563 ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE PUTS TAXPAYERS ON THE HOOK FOR R Policymakers are rushing to pass an economic stimulus package driven in part by concerns with the (More) Policymakers are rushing to pass an economic stimulus package driven in part by concerns with the mortgage market. The proposal would cut personal and business taxes, but also increase significantly the limits on federal housing administration mortgage loans and the loan portfolios of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Some warn those increases could leave taxpayers on the hook for risky mortgage loans. According to Pete Sepp, Vice President of Policy and Communications at the National Taxpayers Union, "The more loans FHA takes on from the private sector and backs with government money, the more risk there is to taxpayers of having to make good on those debts. By making good, that means a lot of money taken out of taxpayers pockets." A recent Harris Interactive poll found 66 percent of respondents believe proposals that increase the size of the mortgage loans federal agencies ensure and purchase are "nothing more than a taxpayer-funded bailout of banks and lenders that provided and profited from these risky loans," said Sepp. (Less)
