IRS Economic Stimulus Payment Article Index
May 3, 2008 |
There is a lot of confusion and no shortage of questions about the IRS economic stimulus payment. I’m try to keep up with the questions but it’s become a full time job. This article is an index of the important links related to the stimulus payment.
Too Many Questions
At first I tried to answer every question. However, due to the sheer number of stimulus payment questions, this became a full time job. I simply can’t answer every question from readers. Instead, I’ve created this article index to help readers find the answers to their questions.
It seems that the tools on the IRS website don’t quite work as advertised. However, they are still the best way we have to estimate when and how much our payment will be.
