Some people who did not file taxes in April may be eligible for a check of up to $1,000 in financial aid. Who will receive it? Find out who are qualified.
The United States provides various financial aid payments for residents who could use the help. In many cases, these payments are subject to the tax situation of individuals; that is, they are aimed at those who, year after year, present a tax return to the Internal Revenue Service.
But what about residents who can’t file taxes because they don’t have enough income to do so? Well, in New Mexico a new form of financial aid has been approved for low-income people who cannot file taxes for this reason.
These are relief payments for New Mexicans who did not qualify for tax rebates that the state offers.
