TAXPAYERS GET 'STIMULATED' BY FILING 2007 TAX RETURN
ABBY: The IRS needs help from your readers.
Starting in May, economic stimulus payments of up to $600
for individuals and $1,200 for married couples will be
issued by the IRS based on 2007 tax returns. Parents also
get $300 for each eligible child.
To receive it, people must file a 2007 tax return. That's
all there is to it. And here's where your readers can
help: Millions of people are eligible, but may not know
it. Certain retirees, disabled vets and low-wage workers
do not normally file a tax return. However, this year
they must in order to receive the payments.
Your readers can help not just the IRS but perhaps them-
selves, friends or family by spreading the word. Please
ask them to mention it to people they think might
qualify. The eligibility rules are on irs.gov, the best
source of information.
Generally, people who have at least $3,000 from earned
income or certain benefits from Social Security,
Railroad Retirement and Veterans Affairs -- or a
combination of income from these benefits -- are eligible.
They need only provide a few details on a Form 1040A.
We'll do the rest.
-- DOUG SHULMAN, IRS COMMISSIONER
DOUG: You're a wise man who obviously understands the
power of word-of-mouth "advertising." And I am sure
Dear Abby readers will be glad to pitch in and help
get the word out so that everyone who is entitled will
receive a check. For further details, simply go to
http://www.irs.gov. Readers, thank you for helping to
publicize this effort.

ABBY: One day my dad was talking to one of my friends,
and he said, "We're poor." Abby, we live in a nice
house in a middle-class neighborhood. Both my parents
have their master's degrees, and I never have to worry
about having something to eat or if I can afford to
pay for my college education.
My parents always make comments about how much things
cost and how much they can't buy. I'm sorry, but it's
just a little bit irksome. I feel like their obsession
with money is putting a crimp on enjoying the good things
in life. Why can't they be a little more "cup is half-
full"?
-- LINDSAY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
LINDSAY: Your father may have gotten some bad news about
his investments the day he spoke to your friend -- as
many people have over the past year -- or perhaps he
suspected that she was palling around with you because
she thought you had money. Ask your dad why he said what
he did, because the answer could be enlightening.
It would have been helpful if you had mentioned what
preceded your father's comment. That would have put it
in context.
ABBY: Why do people put old photos in the obituaries? When
photos started appearing in obituaries, I thought it was a
little strange. But publishing a photo taken at age 20 of
a person who died at 85 makes no sense to me.
-- JUST CALL ME SNAPSHOT
SNAPSHOT: Consider this: Perhaps the deceased -- or the
grieving family -- preferred that he or she be remembered
in the full bloom of youth rather than ravaged by age or
disease. That's the logical explanation.
