To get your $300 economic stimulus check from the federal government, you need to show $3,000 in income last year.
To explain how, Independence Township Senior Adult Activity Center hosts an AARP Tax Assistance Program next weekend.
Income includes wages and salaries, Social Security benefits, certain veterans? benefits and some Railroad Retirement benefits. Bring proof of income to the tax-assistance program, 9 a.m.-12 p.m., Tuesday, April 8, at Carriage House, Independence Township Senior Adult Activity Center, 6000 Clarkston Road.
Those who filed a federal income tax return last year will receive payments automatically.
If unable to attend, call the senior activity center at 248-625-8231 for other sites and dates.
