3. Facts about the 2008 Stimulus Payments - Exclusions:
   “Stimulus payments will be subject to offset against outstanding tax and non-tax liabilities in the same fashion as regular tax refunds.”

   It appears that your stimulus check may be reduced by the amount you owe for 2006. But, on the plus side, if you file for 2007, what you owe for 2006 may therefore be reduced by the stimulus check. http://www.irs.gov/index.html

4. I am confused by conflicting opinions. Will retired seniors who haven’t been required to fill in the last few years receive a check too? I was advised to file and I did file in March 2008. My last 2 numbers of SS# is 02 which I’ve been told will be receiving the check the 2nd week of May. It didn’t come. Anyone know about eligibility of medically disabled seniors?

   For Social Security numbers ending in 00 through 09, the paper checks will be mailed starting May 9 and will continue through May 16. Please allow additional delivery time, perhaps 3 to 5 days (until May 21), since the paper checks are being sent through the mail.

   A small percentage of tax returns will require additional time to process and to compute a stimulus payment amount. For these returns, stimulus payments may not be issued in accordance with the schedule above, even if the tax return was processed by April 15.

   Eligibility for the Stimulus Checks:
   These people may be eligible to receive a Stimulus Check if they had at least $3,000 of qualifying income: those who receive Social Security benefits or veterans’ disability compensation, pension or survivors’ benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2007. Qualifying income includes Social Security benefits, certain Railroad Retirement benefits, certain veterans’ benefits and earned income, such as income from wages, salaries, tips and self-employment. For people filing joint tax returns, only a total of $3,000 of qualifying income from both spouses is required to be eligible for a payment.
