More than 100,000 Alabamians missing $33M
MONTGOMERY — 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.
IRS officials joined Gov. Bob Riley and other officials Monday to educate people about how they can get help filing their tax forms and qualifying for the checks before the Oct. 15 deadline.
People can contact the IRS offices in Birmingham, Dothan, Florence, Huntsville, Mobile or Montgomery. They can also call the IRS's toll-free number 1-800-829-1040 or check its Web site (http://www.irs.gov).
Help is also available by calling the social services assistance line 211.
