One thing that many supposedly do NOT know abut the tax rebate program is that if people who are on social security do not file taxes for 2007 they will not get a rebate. If they file, they won't have to pay taxes on their income for the year but SHOULD get the rebate simply because they filed.

More info here: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179201,00.html

If you know people this might apply to, please spread the word. Most would be delighted to get a nice little check!

Good information, Tink. You're our resident tax expert for sure!!!

I am telling all the seniors I know to get in and file their taxes so they can collect that rebate. I know that most who are on soc sec could really use that little bonus. There are free filing programs for most seniors, so all they need to do is call their county agency on aging to get connected.

I figure if we all tell people, it will help to get the word out. I hope the media will announce this... but haven't heard it done yet.

Interesting! What came to mind when I read that was how that place messed up when they didn't hire you!
