Monday, March 30, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that people
would have to file a tax return to receive stimulus rebate checks (economic
impact payments). The IRS said it was developing a simplified return to make
it easier for people to file who are not typically required to file tax
returns, but yesterday, Wednesday, April 1, the IRS announced that filing a
tax return would not be required Afterall. </P>

Department and the IRS announced that those who receive Social Security
benefits and are not typically required to file tax returns will not need to
file a "simple tax return" to receive an economic impact payment. Instead,
payments will be automatically deposited into their bank accounts. </P>
