More than 2,000 low-income seniors and disabled veterans in Summit County are missing out on this year's federal tax rebate, according to U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette.
LaTourette, a Republican who represents the 14th District, and the Internal Revenue Service have put together a workshop that will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 22 at Stow City Hall, 3760 Darrow Road, to help people apply for the checks they are eligible for under the economic stimulus package passed in January.
LaTourette will be on hand at the workshop.
He said most seniors and disabled veterans are eligible for $300 checks.
The stimulus payments do not affect Social Security benefits.
In Cuyahoga Falls alone, more than 800 stimulus payments have gone uncollected. Nearly 500 checks are unclaimed in Stow.
Those attending the workshop — geared toward seniors and disabled veterans but open to others — should bring copies of their 2007 tax return and any correspondence received from the IRS.
Those who cannot attend can call the IRS at 330-253-7013 or 216-522-4048. .
LaTourette said many seniors attending a workshop last month in Eastlake had filed tax returns as required, but still did not get checks.
Often, tax preparers failed to include Social Security benefit information on returns.
Tax returns — including amended ones — must be filed by Oct. 15.

Only tax abated businesses, nonprofit, tax exempt, organizations and Churches benefit from neglecting to market tax cost in the wholesale and retail price of their product and service.
