There are lots of seniors who don't have to file Federal or State Income tax returns. They may be taking in plenty of money, but after all is said and done, that money isn't taxable income.
If you are one of them or know one of them, it will be worth filing this year, without having to file a complicated 1040. Just get form 1040EZ-T. Click on the underline and download it from the IRS website. You can get it deposited directly into your bank account if you want.
Actually, the money is a rebate, a return of money the government has been collecting from you in the form of long distance excise taxes to pay for the Spanish American War, which apparently is now paid for.
The rest of you working class stiffs can get the same amounts, but it will offset taxes you owe, so it won't feel as good.
