Left Money on the Table?

Love to find some hidden money?
If you think you may have overpaid the IRS over the last couple of years, you may be right.
Take a look at your tax returns for the last two years, 2006 and 2007, and you may even go as far back as 2005, if you filed an extension for that year. There may be money hiding there. Can you think of a better time to go get it?
Think back.
Did you take all of your deductions?

Don't Leave Money on the Table

In these economic times, leaving money on the table is not an option.
Please remind your families, friends and people who are needy in neighborhoods that your churches may serve, people who may not have families to care for them, that the deadline to file a 2007 return to qualify for the Economic Stimulus Package, is October 15th. Many people who do not normally have to file a return believe that they are ineligible for the Stimulus Package, but that is not so. The average payment is $600 ($1200 for married couples), plus $300 for each child (must be under age 17 as of December 31st 2008), who also qualifies for the Child Tax Credit.

Check the status of your 2007 Tax Refund

Check By Phone: You can check the status of your 2007 tax refund, by calling 1-800-829-4477 and pressing 1 for automated refund information or you may call 1-800-829-1954. Its reccommended that you wait at least 6 weeks from the date you filed your return (3 weeks if you filed electronically), however it is possible to receive your refund in less time. Of course the closer it comes to the return deadline, the more likely you will have a longer time to wait. You will need to have your 2007 tax return available as you will need to give:
-your social security number
-your filing status
-and the exact whole dollar amount of your refund.

Check Online: You can also check online to get the status of your own personal refund. Again, you will have to have the following information available:

-Social Security Number (or IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)
-Filing status (Single, Married Filing Joint Return, Married Filing Separate Return, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er))
-Exact refund amount shown on your return
