Here is the bottom line: To receive your tax stimulus rebate check ($300-$600 for individuals, $600-1200 for couples) all you have to do is file your 2007 taxes!

That's it!

There are no forms to fill out and there is no need to give out any personal information.  If you filed your taxes, the government knows how to find you, so anyone who calls asking for personal infomation is a scam artist!

People who don't typically file tax returns can still receive a rebate.  Starting Saturday the IRS is opening locations around the country for anyone filing a tax return soley to get a rebate.  The IRS is calling it 'Super Saturday.'
