People who got refund with direct deposit will be first to receive checks. What about we who sent a check, rather than received a refund. Where will we be in the line?
April 28th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
when will i get my check.the last two digits of my social security # is 92. and could you tell me the amount of my check
April 28th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
charlotte and lonnie scott:
According to the IRS payment chart above, your check should be arriving May 16 if you had your refund direct deposit or July 11 if you had the IRS mail you your refund.
I have no idea how much you will receive since economic stimulus payments are based on your 2007 tax return.
April 28th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Jeanne C. Carlson:
Good question. If you full paid your tax on your original tax return by sending a check, IRS will mail your Stimulus Payment. Check IRS.GOV, there is a calculator in the FAQ. There is also a payment schedule based on the last 2 digits of your SSN.
BTW - If you have any outstanding obligations to any other Government agency, like child support, student loans or state tax, your Stimulus Payment will be applied to those
Calculator: http://www.irs.gov/app/espc/
Schedule: http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html
April 28th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
To All:
1) Most of the calculations are automatic based on your Original 2007 Tax Return, Mailed or E-filed before April 15 this year.
2) If you sent an amended return that changed your basic tax condition, there will be an adjustment later in the year.
3) If there is a problem of any kind on your tax return, the published payment schedule will not apply to you. Once the problem is resolved, the Stimulus Payment will be calculated late summer or early fall.
4) If you filed an Injured Spouse Claim with your Original 2007 Tax Return, your Stimulus Payment will be automatically calculated and sent. If you filed it after your Original, you will have to send another one with “Stimulus Payment” printed at the top.

i cant see the goddamn chart.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Justin:
You be using Internet Explorer and thank you for telling me. I checked and the chart is screwed up.
I am working on the fix for Explorer users..
April 28th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
OK…. I have fixed the above charts so all internet browsers can see it.
For some reason Explorer wants to put bold lines around the first row but the information is all there. Sorry about the lay out issue. Again thanks for bringing it to my attention.
April 29th, 2008 at 12:36 am
What if you made only $2,475 in 2007, from working.
But I’ve already filed my taxes and received my refund.
(It was direct deposit) I did not know that I could report my Social Security Disabilty Income. (FOR THE YEAR 2007) IS IT TOO LATE TO FILE FOR THE STIMULUS PACKAGE??
April 29th, 2008 at 5:58 am
Shirley, if your SSI was not included on your original 2007 Tax Return, file an Amended return, 1040X, and just add the income shown in “box 5″ of the 1099SSA that Social Security sent you. At the TOP of the 1040X write STIMULUS PAYMENT. It will take about 8 weeks for your check to be mailed.
April 29th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
The way I see it is that if we have direct deposit we were suppose to recieve our checks this week regardless of the social security numbers.
April 29th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Do I fill out the whole application? I’m so confused…also it was done electronically.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Cindy:
It would be completely impossible for the IRS to send checks out in one week to everyone listed above with direct deposit. The IRS is still going by the social security number system, Bush pushed up the checks one week earlier that’s the only difference in the system..
April 29th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Shirley:
I’m not sure what application you are talking about. You have to file a 2007 tax return to receive the stimulus check.
April 29th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I did fill out a tax return, unfortunately I only made $2,475, I did it eletronically and received my refund through direct deposit. The reason I made so less is because I’m disable. ( Do you have to make $3,000 to receive the Stimulus Payment?)
I didn’t know that I could put my Social Security Disabilty Income in there too, I wrote in earlier stating about my situation, I was told to file an Amend 1040X (which i’m doing) Do I fill out the whole application?
April 29th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I’m sorry if I asked too many questions…Please forgive me.
April 30th, 2008 at 4:59 am
Shirley, you can also send a ‘Duplicate Tax Return’. Send a 2007 Form 1040A. Copy all the information from your original 2007 return and add your Social Security income on line 14a. Click this link for your instructions:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/newsroom/1040a.pdf
If you have specific questions about how to proceed, call IRS at 1-800-829-1040
May 1st, 2008 at 10:10 am
I checked the IRS website (Where’s my payment?) and it couldn’t give me a date — however, according to the schedule, we’re supposed to be among the first ones paid!
Does owing on student loans ( a few months behind, unfortunately) delay the payment (since it said that funds could be offset for that)? Also, haven’t received notice about the payment other than the first one in March … haven’t even received a notice of offset!
Anyone have an idea of what’s going on?
TIA!!
May 1st, 2008 at 10:42 am
Hi i know i qualify for the stimulus package i have my tax fefunds for 2007 and 2006 and i meet all of the requirements to get mind but i didnt receive my letter what should i do or could they have mailed my letter to the wrong address, let me knowyahoo.com
May 1st, 2008 at 11:12 am
Wonderin….the “Where’s My Refund” on the IRS site is for your actual taxes that you get back…not the Rebate/stimulus. Just wanted to let you know.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:18 am
Thanks for the reply, Samantha … but I did use the “Where’s my Economic Stimulus Payment” engine … not the one for tax refunds.
Thanks, though!
May 1st, 2008 at 11:33 am
OH! Well I didnt know they had that one up and running-I know in the FAQ’s they said they are going to have one sometime. Where the heck did you find that? Sorry!!
May 1st, 2008 at 11:36 am
Ooh I found it! THANKS!
May 1st, 2008 at 11:39 am
Oh, believe me, Samantha, it wasn’t easy to find!!!
May 1st, 2008 at 11:41 am
It wouldnt give me a date-but it did for my Fiance’s
May 1st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
OK! If you filed jointly with your spouse will the goverment go off of the Primary or the secondary tax payers’ SSN for the date they will send it out?
May 1st, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Joshua:
I believe the IRS would use the primary SS# as the target date.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Right on! Thank you very much!
May 1st, 2008 at 8:22 pm
i filed eletronicly but got a check in the mail, what will it go by?
May 1st, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Shawn:
Since you had your tax refund check mailed to you, the stimulus check will also be mailed.
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:45 am
Today being Friday April 2nd and it seems the IRS has miss led us for, I was standing in line at the check cashing place to pay bills and people with numbers from 00-21 srill have not revieved the stimulus payments though they opted for direct deposit. Something is seriously wrong with this picture. I too have check the IRS site to see about my stimulus payment and It gave me nothing and I am next to have my stimulus payment direct deposit. WIll this situation make or payments late because they hve not finished with 00-21 yet?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:49 am
What time will the checks be direct deposited on the second?
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:30 am
i did my taxes through turbo tax and recived a refund back in 2/2008 my last two digits is 12 and i had it direct deposited into my bank account and i still havent recived anyhting. what is going on with the irs.
someone i work with has 4 kids and last tow digits is 68 and already recieved their refund what’s up with that
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:44 am
WHAT AMOUNT DO SINGLES GET
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:02 pm
They said the checks would be deposited today May 2nd. My husband ss# ends in 01. It is now 3:00 pm and it hasn’t been deposited I think the government has lied.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:11 pm
ok people i just got off the phone with the irs and they stated that if you prepared your taxes by yourself thorugh website like turbo tax and HR block and you had them deduct fees from your IRS refund you will be recieving a check in the mail not direct deposit even if you elected for direct deposit through those sites
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:12 pm
My fiance got his this morning. I dont get mine until the 5th, I am in the second batch (the irs site told me on the 5th it would be deposited)
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Hey anonymous—it depends on your 2007 taxes… but I am only getting 300 and I am listed as single b/c my fiance claimed head of household and our daughter
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:32 pm
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO FILED WITH H AND R BLOCK
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
what about if you filed at a h and r block office and not over the internet
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
the irs stated that if you did your taxes with HR and Turbo Tax and you had them take the taxes out from your IRS refund then you will get a check in the mail.
If you did the RAL inticipated refund loan then you will get a check. if you paid for the deductions through a CC and then had it deposited then you should have it as the normal time
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
all i can say this is all crazy the IRS said that they wont start sending out checks until next week why not a week early. may 5th through the 9th checks will be mailed out for the first batch
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Monique, I don’t understand. I filed my taxes at H&R office and yes, I elected to have the H&R feed deducted from my refund, but I got the refund as a direct deposit into my bank.
I guess, I am confused.
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:13 pm
My question is, because I had H&R deduct their fees from my refund, I will get a check instead of direct deposit?
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:24 pm
yes the irs stated that the IRS uses a outside bank besides our on offical bank to give us the money so they cant send the money to HR block to then send us the money because then HR block will then dedcut fees to give us our money so the IRS will send us a check.i hope this helped you
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:25 pm
i meant to say that HR block uses an outside bank to deposit or refund checks
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:27 pm
you can also call the IRS at 800-829-1040 and request that you want info on your refund not the rebate and when the operator picks up they will ask you if you are calling on your refund or your rebate and state that you are calling about your rebate and ask the question you will be on hold for a series of 20 minutes but you can get all oyur questions answered
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Ok well that really stinks! I used HR block. I would’ve got paid today to, last 2 of my ssn are 01. I am not a happy camper about that, they should of been more clear so I could of done something about it before I found out
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:06 pm
my last ssi ebds with 11 and i have not seen anything in my account. Has anyone gotten theirs yet?
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:43 pm
For all who used H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt, they make you sign a contract to have your refund Direct Deposited into their RAL (Refund Anticipation Loan) Bank so they can deduct their fees. After they get their money, they either mail or direct your deposit as you instructed or agreed to.
IRS will not Direct Deposit this Economic Stimulus into a RAL Bank. They will mail it to the address on your tax return according to their published schedule.
http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=181972,00.html
There is some confusion about how the Stimulus payment will be addressed to those who got “Emerald Cards”. Some payments will be added to the “Emerald Card” and some will not. You will have to contact H&R Block about that one.
RAL Banks are available to lend money in advance of your refund as a “High Risk” loan with extraordinary fees attached. Many preparers don’t explain that clearly because they get kickbacks for each loan they sell.
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:48 pm
I am not a fan of RALs because it takes advantage of people who need every dime they can get. These slick preparers sell the idea that you can get that refund the “same day”. The more desperate you are the easier it is to sell you this bank loan at 10 time the interest rate of a normal bank. In most cases you are beating the IRS refund by only a week to 10 days. That’s what those banks are counting on. They can make a couple of hundred dollars by advancing you a 10 day loan. If you made under $34,000, you could have had your taxes done free and gotten your entire refund in 10 to 15 days.

II want to know something… my soc ends in 06 and I have nto recieved anything as well I did my taexs thru a preparer, not h&R and not jackson hewt.. and I recieved my regular refund thru my account… Now will I get a check or a deposit for my stimulus payment.. I have checked everything including the tax offeset to see if anything ntercepted my check and htere is no sign anywhere..
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:49 am
Please excuse my typos.. a little frustrated
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:19 am
Royce, have you checked with your preparer? If your Stimulus doesn’t arrive by direct deposit, it will most likely arrive by mail.
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:38 am
Yes I asked them and they said it will be directly deposited.. I dont think anyone knows what to really expect.. and the gov did a poor job explaining things..It would be nice to know how this think goes so that we know how to respond.. if there is a problem or just delays
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:39 am
“thing”
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 am
ok, so i did my taxes on hr block and received my refund. i did not owe taxes and received a refund. the website is stating that there is no information for me. the calculator states i should get 1200. the only fee i paid was the $14.95 filing fee. my refund was direct deposit, does this mean i will be getting a check instead of a direct deposit?
May 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 am
I used TurboTax with direct deposit.
I can’t get a live person at the IRS.
So am I to understand that they will MAIL my check???
WTF????
May 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Here we are the first week into this stimulus payment schedule and there are still people from 00-20 that has not gotten their stimulus payments. I’m in the next round of stimulus payments and I just don’t know. I guess it will come when it comes. I have never in my life seen so much confusion and frustration. I think better planning or better over site of this program should have been done. I check the IRS site for my stimulus payment and it could not give me no information.
May 3rd, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I too am an 06 and it is Saturday the 3rd and nothing. I guess we sound a little ungrateful but the economy is killing me and I really need the money. My brother-in-law is 19 and received his Friday???? Anyone…
May 3rd, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Oh and the website gave me the same feedback. Atleast I am not alone I was worried for a moment!
May 3rd, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Did anybody get a second notice from the IRS stating if they qualify or not or how much they are supposed to get? According to the first notice there should be another notice that is supposed to arrive shortly BEFORE the payment is made?
May 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
No I did not get a second notice.. This whole thing is a mess.. sporadic random and inconsistant..
May 3rd, 2008 at 4:11 pm
If anyone used h&r block, jackson hewitt,etc and alot of us did, if you thought that because you e filed and had your refund directly deposited that your rebate would be too, guess what, your money was deposited into their accounts not yours, The irs has those bank numbers not yours. you will all get paper checks. Hope everyone used the correct address. What a clusterfuck. Good luck to all.
May 3rd, 2008 at 6:27 pm
You mean we will get a check from their bank? I moved since then. OH COCKYPOOK!
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I received my refund check already. Can I request my stimulus check to be direct deposited if I give you the appropriate
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm
I have received my refunds check already from the IRS. If I submit the needed information for direct deposit, can I receive my stimulus check with direct deposit? I am moving the end of May but I don’t know my new address yet.
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
David, you can call the IRS as soon as you know your new address. OR You might consider temporarily getting a PO Box near your new location and giving that to IRS as your new address. IRS will get your Stimulus check back from the Post Office and hold it, if you have moved and you haven’t updated your address.
IRS cannot add direct deposit information after a tax return is received.
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:52 pm
To All:
If you have moved and not made an address change at the Post Office, you might want to call IRS and give them your new address. Their call centers are open until 10PM weekdays. It will be worth the hold time, especially if you like classical music.
You can always have the Post Office hold all your mail until the check arrives. Otherwise they will send it back and you will have to call and give your new address.
May 4th, 2008 at 1:52 am
I am an injured spouse. I have seen everywhere that our stimulus payments will only be half of what they should be, even though we have 2 children. Basically instead of them holding just his $600, they will be withholding his $600 plus one of my childrens $300 to go to his back child support. I am semi-ok with that, however, no one has said if injured spouse will delay the stimulus or if it will be on time. I file the injured spouse form with my taxes (as always), and our refund was processed and completed before April 15.
Please Advise to if the stimulus will take longer or will be the same.
Thanks
May 4th, 2008 at 5:08 am
Does any one know if they will begin this Monday with the next round of direct deposits for 21-75. The way that I am hearing poeple talking about they haven’t recieved theirs from 00-20 what is going to happen with us. Will our payments be late. I think this whole situation is a utter disgrace. There is not clean cut answer to this night mare. Wish everyone luck in all this madness. If you hear about the second batch start time let me know.
May 4th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Injured Spouse,
1) since the injured spouse was filed originally with your tax return, it Should Not delay the stimulus payment.
2) the allocation for the injured spouse depends on what state you are in. Community Property states Should divide the payment in half, Community Property states govern how the allocation is made. So, if you have been allocated that child before, it will happen again.
May 4th, 2008 at 7:58 am
My ss is 14. I used direct deposit…got refund in Feb. Then filed amended return 1040x because of a late w-2 in Mar. Will this delay my stimulus check? I sent in the additional money owed for the w-2 and it cleared my bank in a week. I still haven’t received anything. The irs website says my info doesn’t match!!!!
May 4th, 2008 at 8:06 am
MaryAnn,
The Stimulus calculation depends on the ORIGINAL return you filed. So far, Amended Returns will Not Cause a new calculation, regardless how it changes your return.
Unless the amendment makes a drastic difference, the Stimulation would be the same amount, anyway.
If your tax return was “Free Filed” your Direct Deposit should not be effected.
If you paid for return preparation from the refund, your payment will probably be mailed.
May 4th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Michael,
Direct Deposits usually happen on Fridays as a pending transaction. Bank Clearing Houses determine how long it takes to post to your account. It will usually post on the following Monday.
If there are no other factors regarding your original refund, there should be no reason for a delay.
The worst case would be your check would be mailed, according to the original schedule.
May 4th, 2008 at 8:21 am
For All:
The second notices are indeed sporadic. They may not be sent to everyone. They are a courtesy mail out that is very expensive for the taxpayer, last estimate is $42 million. They are Not necessary.
As long as the mailing address on your return is accurate, mailed Stimulus checks will be sent according to schedule.
If you have moved, the IRS will change your address by phone, this one time.
The Post Office almost never forwards government checks, they will be returned to the government until a new address is provided.
May 4th, 2008 at 9:41 am
I never recieved a letter to let me know if I would recieve a stimulus check could you please let me know if I do or not thanks so much
May 4th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Actually all the letter tells everyone is that Congress passed the economic stimulus package and checks will arrive based on your 2007 tax return.
These letters are not personalized to your tax return they are generic information letters. Getting a letter does not mean you will know the amount of your stimulus check
A second letter is so unnecessary and will cost the taxpayer millions of dollars. A complete waste of money to inform people of information that is available at the IRS website or by calling the IRS 800 number or by contacting a local IRS walk-in office.
May 4th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Where did everyone find out information that if you had H&R Block fees taken out automatically from your tax refund that your stimulus check will end up being mailed???? Where did that information come from? Besides these postings that I see on websites from people on these blogs?????
May 4th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Nicole,
The IRS website FAQ has this info:
http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=181997,00.html
Q. I chose direct deposit for my 2007 tax refund but also requested a refund anticipation loan (RAL) from my preparer. How does that affect my stimulus payment?
A. Taxpayers who use RALs or enter into any other loan or financial agreement with their tax professional cannot receive their stimulus payments by direct deposit and instead will get a paper check. (normally fees from refunds are considered RALs)
Q. I chose to have my tax refund deposited onto a “stored value card” or debit card through the professional tax preparer I used. Will my stimulus payment be directly deposited onto that same stored value card or debit card account?
A. Yes, unless you requested a refund anticipation loan (RAL) through your tax professional, or the stored value card or debit card account has been closed, in which case you will receive your economic stimulus payment by paper check. [Updated 4/30/08]
May 4th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
i got married this year and changed my name. would that affect my direct deposit since the name on the bank account is different?
May 5th, 2008 at 6:19 am
The update said that dircet deposit stimulus checks will be first but I never recieved mine. Do you know when they are supposed to finish with the direct deposit rebates?
May 5th, 2008 at 7:11 am
Cheryl, Make sure the name you used on your tax return matches the name on your Social Security Card. You must ask your bank about how they will handle that deposit.
Patti, check the IRS web site about the schedule. You can also call 1-800-829-1040.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:40 am
Today is Monday May 5th, 2008 and I guess this is suppopse to begin the next round of stimulus payments to persons with ss#21-75 to be direct deposit. Honestly I think the IRS is very much behind in getting these paynments out. As much as all of us can use it or need it, its seems like a hurry up and wait situation. I hope all of this mess will be resolved soon.
May 5th, 2008 at 7:53 am
lots of my friends didnt get theirs last week–when they where supposed too—i am suppposed to get mine this week—i dont expect it though–more bullshit from the feds—not the donkeys or elephants—-just plain old feds
May 5th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Ty NyTexan…………… I have been having a hard time figuring out when my stimulus check is coming, ty for 800 number. it was able to give be the date when to expect my check !!!!! Kudos to you
May 5th, 2008 at 8:09 am
I wanted to know the website to find ot when my checks will be sent. Does anyone know?
May 5th, 2008 at 8:33 am
If you filed with H&R block, turbo tax etc. and you paid the tax preparation fee out of pocket, by debit, credit card or checking account, your stimulus should be direct deposited according to the chart on the IRS web site. (That is if you had it direct deposited) That is what they say at least. I checked Where’s my stimulus payment and it says I should have mine by May 9 with last two #’s 44. I filed on H&R block site and paid my filing fee with my debit card. If you had your H&R block fees deducted from your tax refund it will delay your payment, even if you had it direct deposited and did not get a refund anticipation loan. Your original refund was sent to H&R block to have fees deducted before it was direct deposited, therefore the IRS did not directly deposit it. Hope this helps some people not sit on hold for 45 min. like I did!
May 5th, 2008 at 9:14 am
My stimulus money did not arrive yet (May 5th) - I filed in January and the last two digits of my SS is 10. I received my tax refund by direct deposit into my bank. I filed online with turbotax. Does anyone know why some of us haven’t received our direct deposits yet? We were supposed to receive the direct deposit May 2nd.

We have moved and changed our address through the post office will they forward the check or do I need to call IRS and change address too. We received our first notice via being forwarded by post office as well as some state tax checks.

Is there a 1-800# to call and find out why we haven’t recieved r stimulus check?
May 5th, 2008 at 11:34 am
i just got off the phone with the IRS they are stating that IF you filed your taxes through and online taxing place and had there fees deducted out your refund you will recieve a paper check and that the paper checks will be mailed out on what the irs website is saying 00-09 may 12 10-18 may 23 but i was hearing that all checks will be mailed out all a week early due to they have sent most of all the direct deposits out already and now they can focus on sending out the paper checks. my social ends in 12 and when you check the website where is my stimulus refund and your social ends in 00-09 they will give you a date of when your check is mail for the reminder the the social number i gues you can check daily

Since the direct deposits started a week earlier, are the mailed checks going to start going out a week earlier also?

Patti:
According to the original schedule above, direct deposits are suppose to end May 16th. However, since Bush announced checks going out one week earlier it seems to have upset the original IRS plan. Imagine that Bush upsetting the process.

NYTEXAN,
my name is different on my ss card since i got married and changed it in March. it matches my name on the bank account but the last name is not the same as when i originally filed taxes. the bank said as long as the account number is the same, it should be ok

Cheryl, I moved and the address is different on my bank account. I talked to the IRS and they too said it would be fine for direct deposit. They said the only info they use to deposit it is you bank routing number and account number. They said the only problem would be if you bank rejects it. I talked to the bank and they said it would be ok because they have my old address on record and the account was never closed. Has anyone got their rebate with the las two 21-75??? I thought they were ahead of schedule? I’m 44 and have seen nothing.

To Maryann who wrote in about an amended return:
I too realized that I had made an error on my original return (sent in January) and so I sent an amended return in April. I was told be the IRS that my stimulus payment was on hold until my 1040x was prossesed, even though they already cashed my check. The lady said that this is because when they get a check with an amended return they automatically assume that you may owe more money, and so any other refund or rebate (like the stimulus payment) is put on hold until they sort it all out. She said that it takes 8-12 weeks to process the amended return, and that the stimulus payment should go out 3-4 weeks after that. So, in essence, I am looking at a 4 month wait. Sorry bosskitty, but an amended return will indeed affect when and if you receive a stimulus payment. Even though my original refund came direct deposit, I will now have to wait for a check and they lady I spoke to did seem certain that the stimulus payment would be sent once my amended return was processed.

I had to file an amendment as I had a late form come in. Will this effect my receiving my stimulus check on time? My last two #’s of my ss is 71. I will use my money to pay last months rent!! If Bush wants to give us a ‘boost’ then we need to receive these checks every 3 or 6 months until this country can catch up and until we keep jobs here and lower prices at the pump and in the grocery store!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Sorry, let me make a correction. The lady I spoke to (the third lady, I might say) did not seem at all certain I’d get my stimulus payment this year. I must say that each person you speak with at the IRS gives a different answer.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:12 am
Sonya, I suggest you call the IRS. Friday afternoon I called the number on the IRS website page that told me they could not tell me the status of my rebate. Then I was given a different number for the hold department. Finally I was told to call 1-800-829-0922 and got the lady who told me my stimulus payment was held up by my amended return. They can pull up your records and tell you for sure.

Am I going to receive a stimulus check?
May 6th, 2008 at 9:13 am
the last two digits of my ss is 30. when will i get my check. it is direct deposit. i filed injured spouse, will this alter the amount or time?
May 6th, 2008 at 9:54 am
I am 20 years old and filed my 2007 tax return and received a refund. However my dad claims me as a dependent, does this disqualify me for a stimulus check?
May 6th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Stimulus Payments are being issued on a schedule according to the last 2 digits of the primary social security number (SSN) shown on your 2007 tax return.
If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 Refund or you received a rapid refund, you will be receiving a check instead of a direct deposit. Please see the Paper Check section of the Payment Schedule.
PAPER CHECK
Last two SSN digits: Payments will be mailed no later than:
00 through 09 May 16
10 through 18 May 23
19 through 25
May 30
26 through 38 June 6
39 through 51 June 13
52 through 63 June 20
64 through 75 June 27
76 through 87 July 4
88 through 99 July 11
