2008 Economic Stimulus Payment
On February 7, 2008, the Congress passed the
Economic Stimulus Act. This law generally provides for a minimum
economic stimulus payment of $300 for taxpayers with earned income of at
least $3,000 ($600 for married taxpayers filing joint returns), including
those with certain Social Security, Railroad Retirement, and veterans’
benefits. Individuals who normally do not file a tax return must
file to qualify for an economic stimulus payment. To receive a stimulus check this
year, eligible taxpayers must file an income tax return by October 15,
2008. More details are available
at www.irs.gov.
