Free Online Training on Economic Stimulus Payments

[bobbolink]

How many people do you know who could use a financial boost?


Starting in May, more than 130 million households will receive an economic stimulus payment from the Internal Revenue Service. Most people don't need to do anything special to get a payment; they can just file their taxes as usual and the IRS will do the rest.

But millions of people who are usually exempt from filing tax returns -- including low-income retirees, disabled veterans and low-wage earners -- must file a return in order to receive their payment. You can help by serving as a resource for the individuals and families in your community.

The National Women's Law Center is hosting a free webinar to give service providers and advocates the information they need on the economic stimulus payments, including:

* Who's eligible for the payments

* How much the payments can be worth

* What individuals and families need to do to apply for the payments

* When individuals and families will receive the payments

* Tools that can help organizations educate the public

5. If you owe taxes on the April 15th and can't pay them will you still get a check?

I'm not counting on a check. We always owe taxes since we don't have kids and get hit with AMT. I can't pay more in advance because I have to pay a mortgage and rent since my house isn't selling and I had to move for a job.

11. All you need to do really is just file a tax return

Even if you didn't earn anything, file a tax return with zeros in the income fields and zeros in the tax due fields.

Just file. Even if no income, file. They then send you three hundred bucks.
