We have written about tax rebate scams connected to this year's economic stimulus plan, but you should soon be getting a letter that is truly from the IRS - not a scam. It will remind you that you must file a 2007 tax return before you can get your tax rebate check. There are a lot of Americans who never file a tax return. They will have to this year if they want that check. Remember rule #1 of our 4 consumer rules to live by: any contact that asks you for personal information (e-mail, letter, phone, etc) is a scam. This letter simply reminds you to file a tax return - it's not asking for money or personal info.

UPDATE: Here is an image of the front and back of the letter.
