WASHINGTON -- In order to get the economic stimulus payment coming out later this spring, you have to file a federal tax return. Problem is, a lot of people don't -- among them people whose income is either too low or not taxable. To help them, the Internal Revenue Service will open hundreds of locations this Saturday to prepare the simple Form 1040A for people who are filing a return solely to get their stimulus payment. Those working with the IRS include AARP, United Way of America and dozens of others. Some 320 IRS offices located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., although some may be open longer. IRS workers also will visit nursing homes and similar locations to prepare returns.
