Economic stimulus checks available only to those who file taxes
As part of a nationwide campaign called Super Saturday, the Internal Revenue Service taxpayer assistance center at 300 S. New St. in Dover will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, March 29, to help people file a tax return to receive their economic stimulus payment, commonly referred to as a federal rebate.
Millions of people, including approximately 60,000 in Delaware who qualify for an economic stimulus payment, may not normally be required to file a tax return and may not have done so in several years.
The goal of Super Saturday is to help those people file for and receive their economic stimulus payments.
To qualify for the minimum economic stimulus payment, people must have at least $3,000 of qualifying income in any combination of income from Social Security retirement, disability or survivors’ benefits; disability compensation, disability pension or survivors’ benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs; Tier 1 benefits from railroad retirement; certain combat pay; and earned income from wages, salaries, tips or net earnings from self-employment that are includible in taxable income.
