| IRS offices to offer help with filing your return
MOUNTAINSIDE — Internal Revenue Service offices throughout New Jersey, including Paramus and Paterson, will be open on Saturday to help residents file a return in order to receive their federal stimulus rebate. IRS personnel will be on hand to answer questions about the economic stimulus payments and file tax returns, which people must do — even if they would not normally file a tax return — to receive a stimulus payment. That includes about 500,000 New Jersey residents, the IRS said. "We don't want any Americans to miss out on their economic stimulus payment," IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman said. "For millions of Americans, filing a tax return is not routine. Their income is either too low or not taxable. But this year, filing a 2007 tax return is the only way to receive an economic stimulus payment." More than 300 IRS locations will be open nationally on Saturday from 9 a.m.
I.R.S. Super Saturday
The Internal Revenue Service is offering help this weekend to make sure as many people as possible receive their economic stimulus checks. The only way you can receive the check is to file a tax return. I.R.S. offices will be open in all fifty states on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Workers will help prepare simple 1040A tax forms primarily to help people who don't normally file qualify for stimulus checks. Many people including retirees and those receiving social security and veterans benefits don't file if their incomes are too low or not taxable. The Terre Haute IRS office is located at 801 Wabash Avenue, and again it will be open Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. For the other offices in Indiana and Illinois just go to the I.R.S. website. .
IRS to help insure reception of economic stimulus
WASHINGTON -- In order to get the economic stimulus payment coming out later this spring, you have to file a federal tax return.
The problem is, a lot of people don't, among them people whose income is either too low or not taxable.
To help them, the Internal Revenue Service will open hundreds of locations this Saturday to prepare the simple Form 1040A for people who are filing a return solely to get their stimulus payment.
Those working with the IRS include AARP, United Way of America and dozens of others.
Some 320 IRS offices located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., although some may be open longer.
IRS workers also will visit nursing homes and similar locations to prepare returns.
