Millions to Receive Economic Stimulus Payments

Starting on April 28, 2008 more than 130 million households will receive economic stimulus payments of $300 to $600. Even though the April 15 tax return filing deadline has passed, those who normally do not file a tax return can still submit a 2007 1040A form to receive an economic stimulus payment. Our Community Action sites are still available to help you fill out your forms. Call one of the Community Action Centers listed below to make an appointment.
