Over 204,566 NYC low-income Social Security and Veteran’s Administration beneficiaries still have not filed a 2007 tax return to receive their Economic Stimulus Payment, leaving millions of dollars unclaimed. Many are in danger of missing out on these vital payments because they may not otherwise be required to file a tax return.

The IRS is in the third phase of their ESP campaign designed to

make those who are not aware that “It’s not too late to file”. Please help

us to encourage the seniors, veteran’s and disabled community to file before October 15, 2008.

The IRS has mailed a 1040A-4 package to those who have not yet

claimed their ESP. It includes “10 easy steps for completing an Economic

Stimulus Return” as well as a completed sample of a 1040A Economic

Stimulus Return. The IRS hotline number for help with ESP returns or finding a local IRS office is 1-800-829-0582 x377.
