MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The federal government is having a hard
time giving away $33 million in Alabama.
The Internal Revenue Service says more than 104,000 Alabamians
are due federal economic stimulus checks, but they haven't filed
the federal tax returns necessary to get the checks. Those checks
would total more than $33 million.
The IRS says Alabama ranks 17th among the states in the number
of people who haven't taken the steps necessary to get their
checks. They are mostly senior citizens and disabled veterans who
didn't file a tax return for 2007.
Gov. Bob Riley says the IRS and other organizations are offering
free help in preparing tax returns. People can call 211 for
directions on how to get help.
