The Tax Rebate of 2008

By Rod Heggy

There seems to be some fear that many eligible tax payers will not receive their tax rebates because they did not file a 2007 tax return. An old friend sent around an email indicating that some of the people that might not have filed a 2007 return could include disabled Social Security beneficiaries and disabled or retired veterans otherwise receiving benefits, as well as others. Thus, it is time to check in with these folks and make sure they get their money by filing a return.

Please access these links for special filing instructions and a sample Form 1040A (.pdf) that highlights the simple, specific sections of the return to fill out.

Of course, the tax rebate probably would not be needed if Americans financed their federal government with sales tax receipts rather than income taxes. But, that is a topic for another day.
