| Getting Your Rebate Check
The push is on to make sure everyone who can get a rebate check gets one. To make sure you get a rebate, you must file a tax return even if you don't have to pay taxes. That includes retirees, veterans and low-income Iowans on social security. If you're in that group, Senator Tom Harkin announced the IRS will open up four spots in Iowa this Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

IRS To Help People File
WASHINGTON - In order to get the economic stimulus payment coming out later this spring, you have to file a federal tax return. Problem is, a lot of people don't -- among them people whose income is either too low or not taxable. To help them, the Internal Revenue Service will open hundreds of locations this Saturday to prepare the simple Form 1040A for people who are filing a return solely to get their stimulus payment. Some 320 IRS offices located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., although some may be open longer. Dan Boone, an IRS spokesman in Birmingham, said the agency will open 13 offices across Alabama. The sites are located in Birmingham, Chatom, Citronelle, Dothan, Huntsville, Irvington, Mobile, Montgomery and Prichard.

These Stimulus Payment help sites in the NewsChannel 9 area include: CHATTANOOGA -Eastgate Mall City Center, 5600 Brainerd Rd. 10 am - 4 pm -IRS Office, 5740 Uptain Rd. 9 am - 3 pm CLEVELAND -Northeast Recreation Center, 264 Berry St. 10 am - 12 noon IRS partners such as AARP, United Way of America and dozens of others also are making special efforts on Super Saturday to reach out to those who normally are not required to file a tax return.
