(The notice is mailed by the IRS to explain what Congress passed for a tax payers relief refund.  This is the only thing you will receive from the IRS, anything else is a fake and may even request for your personal information.  Don't fall for it because this notice is the only thing, besides your refund check, you will get legally through IRS!)

Economic Stimulus Payment Notice

Dear Taxpayer

We are pleased to inform you that the United States Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed into law the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, which provides for economic stimulus payments to be made to over 130 million American households.  Under this new law, you may be entitled to a payment of up to $600 ($1,200 if filing a joint return), plus additional amounts for each qualifying child.

We are sending this notice to let you know that based on the new law the IRS will begin sending the one-time payments starting in May.  To receive a payment in 2008, individuals who qualify will not have to do anything more than file a 2007 tax return.  The IRS will determine eligibility, figure the amount, and send the payment.  This payment should not be confused with any 2007 income tax refund that is owned to you be the federal government.  Income tas refunds for 2007 will be made seperately from this one-time payment.

For individuals who normally do not have to file a tax return, the new law provides for payments to individuals who have a total of $3,000 or more in earned income, Social Security benefits, and/or certain veteran' payments, you may receive a payment of $300 ($600 if married filing jointly).

Individuals who qualify may receive as much as $600 ($1,200 if married filing jointly).  Even if you pay no income tax but have a total of $3,000 or more in earned income, Social Security benefits, and/or certain veteran's payments, you may receive a payment of $300 ($600 if married filing jointly).

In addition, individuals eligible for payments may also receive an additional amount of $300 for each child qualifying for the child tax credit.

For taxpayers with adjusted gross income (AGI) of more than $75,000 (or more the $150,000   if married filing jointly), the payment will be reduced or phased out completely.

To qualify for the payment, an individual, spouse, and any qualifying child must have a valid Social Security number.  In addition, individuals cannot receive a payment if they can be claimed as a dependent of another taxpayer or they filed a 2007 Form 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ, 1040-PR, or 1040-SS.

All individuals receiving payments will receive a notice and additional information shortly before the payment is made.  In the meantime, for additional information, please visit the IRS website at www.irs.gov.

Warning  (The IRS doesn't need any of your information because they alreay have it on file so anyone that requests your information or making false claims of needing your information...throw it away, take down their information then hang up and report it, don't believe what they may try to throw to you!)

I read a little more into the letter about the stimulus package. I think that is the true reason why they were willing to spend that kind of money for printing and mailing.

yeah, so far so good, thanks for asking! Di said that I needed to take a break from blogging after my blood pressure went up over a couple of certain blogs that I kind of lost it on! She set me straight and flat out told me that my health and her brother(me) was more important then getting so worked up and worried about certain things. So that's what I did. Every now and then I would pop in. I hope she doesn't get herself booted again with her temper, LOL! I hope all is well with you! With all the cost increases it is making it harder to get my daughter through college but so far barely making ends meet!

Back to the letter....I think your right! I read more into it as well and I really feel there is more into this then meets the eye! It's funny how they always claim not having enough money in the budget but they can do this and also it concerns me about illegals getting a piece. They could get extra money for false claims of family members within the same household. Di even brought something to my attention! She had her propane tank filled and she said it cost her $5.00 a gallon, plus sales tax on top of that! Here I always thought taxes were included with the price...maybe I'm wrong!

I was looking at the " rules " for the rebate. It struck me as being a thinnly disguised fishing net, maybe I'm wrong. Glad you're doing all right. I think we're in for a very bumpy ride over the next few years at the very least. Take care and I'll check in on you again !
