MIAMI—Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) and the IRS have teamed up once again to help residents of Miami-Dade County.  Low-income workers, who are not required to file a tax return, may still qualify for the economic stimulus payment.  In order to find out, they must submit Form 1040A, which determines eligibility, by October 15, 2008. 

In the past weeks, representatives from both offices have been at various locations throughout Miami-Dade County to answer questions and guide residents in filling out the forms.  The last event will take place this Thursday, October 9th in Homestead at 10:00 a.m.  Taxpayers must bring: their Social Security card, a photo I.D. (driver's license) and Form SSA 1099 (which details the amount of Social Security benefits they receive).  For more information please contact Kathy Lopez in the Congressman’s Miami office at 305-225-6866.
