Hey Maryland. There's at least $29 million out there waiting for you.

According to some startling statistics released by the IRS, about 5.2 million retirees and disabled veterans who are potentially eligible for a tax rebate haven't yet filed a tax return to get their money. Not only that, rebates may be owed to more than 97,000 Marylanders.

Baltimore has more than 21,000 retirees and disabled veterans who still need to file a return before Oct. 15 to get a rebate this year.

If you know of anyone who might fit that description, let them know what they may be missing out on: $300 to $600 for an individual or $600 to $1,200 for a married couple filing jointly.

Read my column in today's newspaper about who qualifies.

Also, if you are a retiree or disabled vet - or are trying to help a retiree or veteran file a return - check out the online tool offered by AARP. You answer 10 questions and the program puts all the  information on the correct line of a 1040 form. All you have to do then is print it out, sign it and mail it in.
