You can still cash in on 2007's economic stimulus plan...

An estimated 25 million -- or 1 in 5 -- taxpayers may have a second chance to cash in on rebate money still available from last year's economic stimulus plan, even if they received money last year, according to The Tax Institute at H&R Block.

Last year's stimulus payment netted most eligible taxpayers an additional $600 for single filers; $1200 for joint filers, plus an additional $300 for each qualifying child.

H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) alerts taxpayers to speak with a professional to see if they're eligible. Among those who may qualify for additional rebate money this year:

--First-time filers
--Taxpayers who had a child in 2008
--Taxpayers whose net tax liability increased in 2008 vs. 2007 
--Taxpayers who got married or divorced in 2008 
--People who share custody of a child, claiming on alternate year 
--The 2.6 million who lost their job in 2008
--People who aren't required to file and didn't file a tax return last year (qualifying income includes, Social Security or ---VA Disability benefits of at least $3000)
