The IRS has stated that for those who requested a valid six-month extension to file or who are filing to establish eligibility for the stimulus payment, filing by October 15 means that the return will be processed and a stimulus payment will be issued before the end of the year. It is important to note that no stimulus checks will be issued after December 31, 2008. After this date, those who qualify will need to claim a refundable credit for the payment on their 2008 tax returns. The amount received for a stimulus payment based on a 2007 tax return will not reduce the amount of a refund or increase an amount owed when filing a 2008 tax return.

Social Security beneficiaries, low-income workers, and those who receive certain benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs help make up the nearly 20 million people who do not normally file an annual tax return. Because the information recorded on the 2007 tax return is used for the rebate checks, it is important for members of these groups to file this year to receive payment, which is generally $300 for single filers or $600 for those who file a joint return. Qualifying benefits from the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs must be reported on Form 1040, Line 20a, or Form 1040A, Line 14a. Other qualifying income must be reported on the appropriate lines of the tax return, as the IRS will not recognize it otherwise.

Payments will be processed based on the method indicated on the 2007 tax return, directly deposited into a bank account or by postal mail. Filers should allow at least eight weeks to receive their payments.

Jackson Hewitt offers the following tips on what to do in case of a natural disaster:

Assess the Damage

After a disaster, it is important to begin assessing your property damage. Immediately following a loss, it is imperative to:

1. Document the damage to your property with photographs or video, including any repairs made to the damage. Keep receipts for the repairs or clean-up work.

2. File a timely insurance claim for reimbursement of the loss. If you do not file an insurance claim, the IRS may limit your eligible casualty loss to the amount that is not normally covered by your insurance, such as the amount of your insurance deductible.

3. Spend your insurance reimbursement wisely. Usually, if your insurance reimbursement exceeds your basis (generally, the original purchase price plus any improvements and minus any depreciation) in the damaged, destroyed or lost property, and you replace those assets within two years with property that costs at least as much as your reimbursement, the amount of your reimbursement that exceeds your basis will not be taxable. If the area is declared a disaster area by the President, you have four years to replace your property if it was damaged or destroyed due to the disaster.

4. Keep track of payments you receive. Payments you receive may be included in or excluded from income depending on whether restrictions were attached to how you spend the money, or if you received the payments as part of relief provided to individuals in a presidentially declared disaster area.

Tax Return Amendments

If the President has declared your community a federal disaster area, you can choose which year you may claim losses you incurred. Taxpayers can wait to claim the losses on their tax return for the year the disaster happened or they can claim the loss on an original or amended return for the year preceding the loss in order to get a refund for the loss sooner. The claim against the prior year must be filed by the due date of the tax return for the tax year the disaster occurred.

Taxpayers affected by Hurricane Dolly this year may claim the casualty loss on their 2008 tax return which should be filed after January 1, 2009 and is due April 15, 2009.

Prepare for the Future

Since natural disasters can occur at any time, it is important to be prepared should it happen to you. Here are a few tips that can help you prepare:

1. Determine if you have the appropriate insurance for your home, personal items and car(s).

2. Keep documents that verify the original purchase price for your home and other items, such as a HUD-1 Settlement Statement, bill of sale and receipts.

3. Document your property and its contents through photos, lists and receipts. This will prove invaluable in determining a true assessment of the loss.

4. Keep important documents in a safe place, such as a safety deposit box or fireproof and waterproof safe. You might also consider providing copies of important documents -- birth certificates, insurance papers, etc. -- to a family-member or friend who lives out of town for safe keeping and easier access after a disaster.

The Jackson Hewitt Disaster Relief Kit, available at http://www.jacksonhewitt.com/?DisasterReliefKit, is a great tool for preparing for a potential disaster. The kit provides a home inventory list to complete, an explanation and examples of how to claim a casualty loss or gain on your tax return, information on how to replace your lost identification, and links to various websites that may be helpful when dealing with a disaster.
