Tulia Chamber of Commerce now has a new website!!! We have been working on this for most of year now and are excited it is finally ready to go! The old website will take you to the new, but the new name is tuliachamber.com. LiveJournal would not work with the new system, so we are going to switch. The new site--accessible from the website--is tuliachamber.com/blog. We apologize for any inconvenience for those of you who have bookmarked this Livejournal site, but we think you'll like the other one, too.
I will insert here, that if you have Windstream for your Internet Service Provider, the connection to the blog and/or calendar may not work. I am working on some of these issues.
The new site gives us a more professional look, and will allow us some versatility where we haven't had it before. The email isn't working on the site, but will be soon. There will be other changes, too. I'm just glad to have it up and running.
I don't make a habit of posting "want ads", but the Conestoga is a new chamber member, so I wanted to help them out.
The Conestoga Restaurant is looking for a couple of cooks. If you are interested, please call 995.3407 and ask for Paula or J.C.
All you have to do to get the stimulus payment is file a 2007 IRS Form 1040 or Form 1040A and report at least $3,000 in qualifying income on the form. You can include the amount of your SSA benefits to qualify for the stimulus payment.
Add the amount of your Social Security benefits to other qualifying income, such as wage earnings or certain benefits paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs, to reach the $3,000 requirement. However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Tier 1 railroad retirement benefits do not count as qualifying income for the stimulus payment.
You will enter your name, address, Social Security Number, and filing status on the form. Then just enter the amount of benefits reported to you in January on Form 1099-SSA on Line 14a of Form 1040A or Line 20a of Form 1040. If you don’t have Form 1099-SSA, you can estimate your Social Security benefits by taking the monthly amount you received last year and multiplying it by the number of months you received a check. If you need to include wage earnings to reach the $3,000 qualifying level, enter that amount on Line 7 of Form 1040A or 1040. In addition, you should write the words "Stimulus Payment" at the top of the 1040A or 1040.
Is the stimulus payment taxable next year? No, nor will it affect the amount of SSA benefits you receive. The IRS will begin mailing checks in early May.
In late March 2008, the IRS will mail a packet of information to recipients of Social Security benefits who did not file a tax return last year. The packet will contain guidance to help you claim the stimulus payment. You need not wait for this packet to file your 2007 Tax Return.
AARP Tax Aide Volunteers are available to help file your tax returns. Help will be provided every Thursday by appointment only at the Swisher County RSVP, 321 SW 2nd Street. Please call 995-2104 for an appointment.
The meeting will be in the District Courtroom at Swisher County Courthouse at 7:00 p.m., Monday, March 10. Individuals who require the use of an elevator to the second floor may enter at the north door.
Interested land owners are urged to attend and indicate their land area on a county map. This is an "indication of interest" if a fair deal from a reputable company comes to Swisher County. This is not a "contract" or a "guarantee" to have a wind turbine placed on their land
.The Family Dollar store is making progress. Site work started about a week or so ago. It is slated to open within about three months.
As I update this on 2/29, concrete work has started.
