IRS
FEDERAL STIMULUS PAYMENT
Attn: Seniors - We
wanted to make sure you are aware that unless you file a tax return, you won’t

taxes you do not qualify for this stimulus payment and you can not file a tax
return.
Use IRS form 1040A from your local

14a. This is the amount reported to you by the Social Security
Administration as “Net Benefits for 2007” in

We are calling out to
everyone who might possibly have photos from that time, or know someone who
might have a box tucked away, that could be lent to this project. We are
hoping to involve the local residents in this project. It was their
