Haven’t gotten your economic stimulus payment?

If you haven’t filed your 2007 tax return — a requirement to get the tax rebate — you have just a little over one month to get it in.

Thousands of Marylanders who normally don’t have to file a return because of their low income are likely those missing out on the rebate worth at least $300.

There are plenty of groups offering free tax help if you need assistance filing a return, including AARP Tax-Aide counselors. To make an appointment, call 888-687-2277 or check the group’s Web site to find the nearest location to you.

Susan Dolinka, working with the group, adds in an e-mail: “If a senior citizen only had 2007 Social Security income to declare, they never need to leave their homes. We will e-file and their check will be sent directly to them.”

The deadline is Oct. 15. Don’t miss it! Otherwise, you will have to wait until next year to claim the payment on your return.
