The Internal Revenue Service is opening offices tomorrow to help people get their economic stimulus “tax rebate” checks.

People must file a 2007 tax return to receive the payment later this year, even if they do not normally file a return.

To help the infrequent filers, offices in Denver, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and Fort Collins will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

To qualify for the minimum economic stimulus payment, people must have at least $3,000 of qualifying income in any combination from Social Security retirement, disability or survivors’ benefits; disability compensation, disability pension or survivors’ benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs; Tier 1 benefits from Railroad Retirement; certain combat pay; or earned income from wages, salaries, tips or net earnings from self-employment that are includable in taxable income.

The minimum payment is $300, $600 for married couples. There also is an additional payment of $300 for people with eligible children younger than 17 as of Dec. 31, 2007.

The IRS service centers open Saturday:

600 17th St., Denver.

2864 S. Circle Drive, Colorado Springs.

301 S. Howes St., Fort Collins.

400 Rood Ave., Grand Junction.
