One last caution: Scammers posing as IRS representatives and promising to send early rebate payments (among other bogus claims), have tricked many unsuspecting people into revealing personal or bank account information over the phone or via email links to official-looking forms. The IRS does not gather such information by phone or email.

To learn more about these and other scams, type “identity theft” in the search box on www.irs.gov. Another good resource is Practical Money Skills for Life, Visa’s free personal financial management site, which contains detailed identity theft and security precautions everyone should take (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/security).

Bottom line: If you’re eligible, make sure you file a tax return to receive your rebate. Once you’ve got it, spend wisely.
