Have you heard about the economic stimulus package? This is the program that will send payments ranging from $300 to $1,200 to over 130 million Americans beginning in May.

Most Americans will automatically receive their checks, as they will be sent to those who submit a 2007 income tax return. Those low-income workers and recipients of Social Security and certain Veteran's benefits who made at least $3,000 and are not usually required to file income taxes will need to do so in order to receive the stimulus payments. More details, including telephone numbers for agencies providing help in preparing tax returns, can be found here.

Have you heard about the Next Big Thing in television broadcasting? As of February 17, 2009, full-power television broadcasters will switch from analog to all-digital broadcasting. What does this mean for you at home?

If you receive your television signal for free using t.v. or rooftop antennas, you will need to make sure that you either:

a. Purchase a digital-to-analog converter box;
b. Subscribe to a cable or satellite provider; or
c. Purchase a television with a digital tuner

before the 2/17/2009 transition date. Find out more information here.

If you are interested in purchasing a converter box, there is a coupon program available. Coupons may also be requested via telephone at 1-888-388-2009.

Take steps now to make sure your television coverage doesn't lapse later!

Are you doing your taxes and discovering you owe the government a lot more than you can pay at one time? You can set up a payment plan online at the IRS's website.

Spread out the payments and stress less on April 15!
