By ParadiseForever


If you are wondering where is my stimulus ?

The Department of the Treasury announced that in its first official week of sending out economic stimulus package payments, approximately $7.1 billion was distributed to about 7.7 million Americans.

Who would want to say no to free money ?

Electronic distributions are slated to be completed by mid-month; paper check distributions start May 16 and will continue through mid-July.

Direct Deposit Payments

If the last two digits of your SSN are 00-20, you should receive economic payment deposit by May 2. For SS#s with the final two digits of 21-75 by May 9; and 76-99 by May 16

Paper Checks

If the last two digits of your SSN are 00-09, your check should be in the mail by May 16. For SS#s with the final two digits of 10-18, checks should be in the mail by May 23; 19-25 by May 30; 26-38 by June 6; 39-51 by June 13; 52-63 by June 20; 64-75 by June 27; 76-87 by July 4; and 88-99 by July 11.

I am suppose to get one of those checks to but I owed a student loan from about 20 yrs ago and I was told by the IRS that they were taking my payment to go toward the pay back of the loan. They also took my Federal Tax return to. So If you owe a loan don't expect your check. Sorry to burst your bubble but mine was burst and I cried. Have a good one.

"A small percentage of tax returns will require additional time to process and to compute a stimulus payment amount. For these returns, stimulus payments may not be issued in accordance with the schedule above, even if the tax return was processed by April 15."

Read the small print. This was on the website!

Teisha  says:

It seems to me like a small percentage will be processed timely because more people have not received a stimulus payment than those that have

This is completly misleading information!

I have filled the past 10 years direct deposit, now my check is a being mailed

June 9th. my ss# is **31 I thought it was may 9th according to the pay schedule? and why now is it mailed

call 1866-234-2942 for disappointing news

Jason  says:

I filed jointly with 1 dependent and I made more money than my wife with direct deposit back in February. Last two are 13 and have not received a direct deposit of $1500. I know that the Santa Barabara bank and Trust hold the tax refunds for several days to verify before electronically transferring the money into your account. So I am going to wait one more week before worrying to much about the direct deposit.

midnight1270  says:

Ok, just got off the phone with the wonderful IRS...Since I used Turbotax, the irs does not have my direct deposit information. So, they are sending it through the mail...Gotta love our wonderful government....

My # is -00 and I haven't seen anything yet either. However, I think I just found out why....

According to the IRS website, you only get direct deposit if you didn't have filing fees deducted from your refund.

Quote from irs.gov:

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.

chris  says:

if you paid someone or paid online to get your tax return quicker you have to wait and get a mailed check instead of direct deposit i just found out today i am a little mad just because i paid them extra we should of got ours quicker...whatever i guess

WILL THE GOV START A PROGRAM FOR MOTHER WHO NOT RECIEVED CHILD SUPPORT FROM DEAD BEAT DAD HELP FIND THEM AND GIVE US THEIR STIMULUS CHECK PAYMENT?

Self Destruction profile image

Self Destruction  says:

TAY TAY - if you made just over 3,000 you will get a 300.00 refund check.

$300 - low income single people

$600 - low income married

$600 - average income single

$1200 - average income married

If you don't file taxes you don't get a check. The tax system is slow, so don't fret if you don't get your taxes in the time line stated above. They should all be here by mid-may to mid-june!

motoman  says:

I am hearing that if you were charged a fee to receive your refund by direct deposit, you will be receiving a paper check. I filed through HR Block and was charged to do direct deposit. That fee sets up a one-time account for the direct deposit apparently. So if you were charged (be it through TurboTax or HRBlock), look for a paper check.

Just remember, this is Bush's way of making our economy look better on paper. He is hoping you will use this money to travel or some other luxury. Show him our country is headed for the toilet. If the gas prices were lower, EVERYTHING would be lower. We can not afford the cost of gas.

So, I reccomend you put your money in the bank or pay off a bill. DON'T SPEND IT IN A STORE. Let this plan backfire so we get a solution and not a bandaid.

So having been told my money is coming I try to be one of the good little sheep and try to stimulate the economy. Trusting in the government to do what they said they would do. Went to see far off family and over drew my account. My fault for doing it...my fault for believing the government. On a personnel note... deciding who to vote for is like trying to decide which toilet to drink out of.

Firstly, to the genius who wrote "Who would want to say no to free money ?", this isn't "free money" but rather money we have already payed in taxes, get a grip. Perhaps you've you've never paid taxes.

Secondly, before you anyone makes an ass out of themselves with misinformation and ignorance, try READING the IRS site beforehand. If you paid a fee for your taxes and this was deducted from your taxes you are NOT getting direct deposit, same goes for anyone who requested a rapid refund.

Seriously, the IRS is not the major problem, lack of education is.

" Please insult me with a proper sentence." Very nice job. You've not bothered to debate, let alone refute, *any* of my correct points and feel compelled to point out an improper sentence as if this in any way has relavence or importance. I can only comment that this is expected from someone who obviously doesn't understand taxes and takes criticism of ignorance as "insult". Clearly, it was not meant as an insult or I'd have called you 'snapper' or 'hammer'.

Ignoring the message while attacking the messenger's form is akin to admitting a complete lack of understanding: debate 101. It's much better to remain silent or do at least a minimum of research before responding --which takes us back to my original point. Enjoy the rest of your idle time.

Mike  says:

I believe it's a routing issue. Those of us who filed online with turbo tax or other software and chose to have filing fees deducted from our refund via santa barbara bank and possibly others and were direct deposited will be getting a check instead. If you used software and paid filing fees with credit card and were direct deposited i believe the irs schedule is accurate.

Janice, I feel for you. My ex who is a custodial parent was gone a majority of last year and I was still paying child support and taking care of my daughter. I filed with the court to change the parent child relationship and nothing has changed since last year when we started proceedings. This pissed my Ex off and now she is back home to stay it looks like. She is also reaping child support from her first husband for a child she is not even taking care of. Some seriously take advantage of the legal system. The above URL has some good information.

I used turbo tax and wonder if I am receiving a paper check now. I put in my information online and it says no information available.

Hey all I have some info I found out today. I did mine through Turbotax and elected to have the fees DEDUCTED from my tax return and then direct deposited in my account rather than pay for the fees with a credit card. If you chose to have ANY fees from any 3rd party tax company withdrawn from you return as it was direct deposited, you will receive a paper check instead. Look at "Where's my Tax refund" on the IRS website and it explains this. I am ticked as I did direct deposit and yet I have to wait till June 13th as my last 2 numbers are 39 for a paper check. And still, that is the day they mail and it will be another 2 weeks until I receive. AHHHH

Thank you so much for this information. I didn't get a direct deposit today and was very disapointed. Your article explains why. Guess I'll wait for June. At least I know it is coming.

Kim  says:
2 years ago

thanks for the number. No info was available online, so I called 1-866-234-2942. According to the info listed on the IRS website, I was expecting my check this week (May 9), even more so because I had read somewhere that checks were going out earier than expected. When I called, I found out that mine will be mailed to me june 20th! I had received my refund via direct deposit in Feb. Guess I made the same mistake as some - having fees deducted from my refund for filing online. I just wish the government had made some effort to advise us of the third party issue when releasing the check dates. My taxes were filed with TaxAct.com.

I know it's my fault for counting my chicks before they hatched, but now I have to cancel my vacation for which I've already paid a $350 non-refundable registration fee because I won't get my check until the week after the balance is due.

Here is what the big problem is. If you got a Refund anticipation loan, or had the fees for filing taken out of your refund, you will get a paper check. However, this is the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard. What the hell does the government think we are? Yes, I would like to pay $200.00 to file my taxes, let me just pull it out of my ass real quick..... This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, and leave it to the government to think of something so stupid. However painful it be, I still will wait for the money, I mean everyone is complaining, and yeah, it sucks, but still, I'm getting 1500 back, so I'll wait patiently... :(.

I was supposed to be in the May 9th group and did direct deposit but nothing yet. I had to pay and paid via the net. Wonder if that matters? Appears to be quite a few loopholes. I thought that payments were kicked off a week early on 4/28 so shouldn't we all move up? How is this stimulating the economy if we don't have the money? I guess we shouldn't have counted on it but I am guesing we did because we all needed it. Kind of makes a statement for the economy. Wages have been frozen for awhile now where I work even for people who were rated the highest possible.

people are not really complaing about waiting. they are complaing about the information be given out. if you tell people they are to receive something by direct deposit and specifically leave out important information on things that can exclude you from receiving it that way, it makes them upset. im pretty sure they would have avoided all this if they would have told everyone upfront everything and not slowly leaked out information. also how many people do you think really paid for there fees by a credit card/debit card/check. not many....its just ridiculous if your saying your trying to help people and your going the long way around to do it.

My last two numbers are 5 4 and I was suppose to get my direct deposit on May 9th. It didn't happen, JUST LIKE I SUSPECTED!!

I WANT MY MONEY!

I want to impose a penalty on the IRS, WITH INTEREST, just like they'd do me if I didn't pay them on time.

I was suppose to get $2000, but they cut that in half because my gross earnings exceeds a base amount. So, if I charge them the same kind of penalty that they would have charged me if I had paid them late, WITH INTEREST added, then I calculate that the IRS now owes me $1,149,786.86.

Reminder, When they first announced the payments they were drawing out paper checks. Then they considered Direct deposit. The key to looking is to beaware that the government will find loop holes in everything they do. The web site says that if you have your fees deducted from your refund sorry you'll be waiting for a paper check.So forget the Memorial holiday celebrations that will wait for the paper checks, the gas prices,and grocery prices will continue to rise. While we continue to suffer through half the summer.This will only hurt the economy more. No family vacations, no extra revenue for the government and more jobs lost in the waiting.

Unfortunatly, it's true. if you had filing fee's taken out you will get a paper check. I filed my taxes in Feb!!! and my last 2 digits are 16 I thought I would get mine via direct deposit May 2nd!

Wow! I know how to get traffic now! Just talk about money people are expecting. It happens that I had cause to call IRS today, several times. Each time, after I waited an hour or more, I was treated to a lengthy explanation about when the so-called stimulous checks were being mailed, before I got to sit and listen to more very loud classical music for even longer. Since I don't care when my rebate is coming, I didn't listen. Why don't I care? I don't believe it will do anything for the economy, and I certainly won't rush out and buy anything with it. I'll probably pay it on my Chevron card. If you seriously want to know, go online to www.irs.gov, look for Contact Us, and dial the 800 number. Sit there through an inexcusably long wait, and you'll get a detailed explanation. Unless, like me, you're too busy cursing at the long wait. I'm certain there's only one agent to answer calls for the entire country!

Killtoy  says:

Turbo Tax has confirmed that if you had preparation fees taken out of the refund you will get a check instead of a direct deposit. ( this is for any one who had preparation fees taken out of the refund and not just Turbo Tax customers ) I have ran across some blogs that lead me to there sight after not getting my money and started to track it down. Sucks that we have to find out in msg boards or blogs but guess that’s the service we should know to expect from just about any corporation now days.

This is a cut and paste from Turbo Tax on the explanation.

If you elected to pay your filing fees from your refund, then a bank gets involved to make this happen. In the case of TurboTax, that would be SBBT (this explanation, however, applies regardless of which bank or tax software you use). When you electronically filed with a bank product (payment of fees or a RAL, which TurboTax does NOT offer), the IRS receives a temporary bank account set up by SBBT to temporarily hold your refund. When the IRS proceses your refund, the refund is direct deposited to this temporary account. SBBT then uses these funds to pay TurboTax (or whatever service you used) and the bank direct deposits the balance of the refund in your actual account. Once this transaction is done, your temporary account is deleted.

Your printed tax return (which was not submitted to the IRS) reflects your bank account information IF you had filed a paper return.

Therefore, in this case, the IRS does not have your actual bank account information and cannot process your REBATE as a direct deposit. I’m sure if the IRS and the tax preparation industry knew at the beginning of tax season what it now knows about the rebates, a lot of things would have been done differently. Unfortunately, rebates were not even real at the start of tax season.

I hope this information helps. Again, this is confusing!

I used turbotax and received the email stating I would not get money through direct deposit. I have read here it is because they do not have my account information because I had my fees taken out of my refund.

We did our taxes through H & R Block...silly thing is we got the Block "card" which in my head is the same as direct deposit (come to find out it's not) . We filed at the beginning of February and got our refund within 3 days. Now it is mid May and have not recieved our stimulus check. I read on Yahoo that many people have not gotten thiers due to errors by IRS (go figure) and that many people (1500) were shorted like $300 and will recieve another check to make up for it at the end of July. I guess we all need to just sit back and wait...wait...wait...Think of the country you live in...shouldn't we be use to it by now? Gov't doesn't care if you need to pay utilities or if you are about to be foreclosed...they will give you the money when they are damn good and ready to get up off thier fat asses. Good luck everyone...biding my time till I see the money.

If you were a retard and could not do the math yourself for your taxes, then you got an advance "loan" payment, not a direct deposit payment from the IRS but from H and R block etc. Because of this, you go into the category as "mailed" return and you will receive your check by June.

Well I have to say things are kinda wierd. One good thing is my ex has a nice new hair cut and a complete spa day because the irs was nice enough to pay what I owed on back childsupport from being sick for the past 6 years with alot of chronic diseases. Kinda glad that it wasn't an STD but if someone would like to give her one please do. The justice system did serve me well they though since I had been so sick that is going to be the last and only payment she is going to get. Well unless a medical miracle can get rid off all these issues. Anyways, thanks Bush for getting the %$#@$ off my back. To bad she didn't spend it all on my daughter, but since I will be getting the remainder of the check I will buy her something nice. She is a good kid just has bad parents. Oh yeah check letter said being mailed on 16th hmm does anyone know if it comes out of the place you filed out of. That would only take a day or two to recieve if thats true? Now ladies I'm not a momma hater. Just one momma I don't like to much. Given the history you would feel the same way. I'm happily married now for 10 years and we have a little girl together. I wish my other daughter could be here with us more so she could have a full supportive family. Instead of the flavor of the week.

Faywest  says:

Don, are you sayoing that bombing Iraq had no effect on the price of oil? The sabotage to the Iraqi oil fields and the subsequent cleanup job didn't affect the price of Iraqi oil? And indirectly, the price of Saudi oil? Are you also saying that the US administration has no power to investigate and find out if the oil companies, which are raking in record-breaking profits, are price gouging the American public? No power to control the high price of gasoline if there is price gouging? No power to encourage investment in other energy sources that might eventually force oil companies to compete in an open market for our energy dollars? Are you saying that Bush and all his cronies divested themselves of shares in Texas oil companies when he was elected president? Do either Bush or Cheney still own oil company shares in their investment portfolios? Have they personally profited from oil prices? Is that information publiclyy available? Do you know where to look for it? Are you so sure Bush has nothing to do with the price of oil? Just asking.

NameisEarl  says:
2 years ago

Technically Bush has nothing to do with the price of oil now. He has had in the past on the way countries feel about him and his actions but now he has no control. That is why it will take a new face in office.

Anyways to let anyone who has an ex with children know, If they collected welfare for years even if its fraudulant and not caught you will not get your rebate check. lol. I just found out they took the whole thing. Funny thing is when I found that out I also noticed she isn't getting a penny of the check. I don't owe her anymore money its just the state. Sucks for money to go out but I wonder if her being so greedy in the past is making her think now. Probably not. So everyone out there if you collect cash assistance even if your doing it in 2 different states, working under the table and making $50,000 a year. That money collected from the state does have to go back sometime. Usually when your dead but hey they will get it.

On a lighter note, I wish everyone luck on there check and hope it helps a little. Bush will be out of office soon wooohooo!!! Now if he could just keep his mouth shut for a bit and locked in a closet we may survive the rest of the year.

  It happen that I filed an amended return back in March. So this was the reason for them holding my rebate check of 2400.00. She also told me that they received my amended back in March 18th, and I would have to wait until it cleared so they can send me my rebate. According to my calculations they now owe me 3500.00 that’s my rebate and amended return.

They also told me the amended returns usually take 8 to 12 weeks for them to be processed. I’m at 8 ½ weeks according to the IRS. Its coming and when it does I’m buying a bunch of stuff for my kids and maybe something small for my wife. Just Kidding……

First off I want to say rara0827 is a hot brown skinned sista. =-)

Second, alot of people chose to have their filling fee's deducted from the returns, which puts you on the paper check boat not DD. I think its called RAL, a type of loan.

So even if your refund came from DD, it most likely came thru a third party bank not the IRS so the IRS is sending you a check.

I'm in the exact position as you, tricia. I filed my return using Turbo Tax a couple weeks before April 15th with me owing the fed some money and the state owing me. The feds took out the amount I owed them directly from my bank account, as I chose, and I opted for direct deposit of my rebate at the same time.

Well, I went to Turbo Tax's website to their FAQs and found out that if you owed the feds money on your return AND had the feds take the money directly from your bank account, you will get a paper check, not a direct deposit, which make abslutely no sense whatsoever.

If I had known that, I would have paid the feds by check and then would have gotten a direct deposit rebate.

Injured spouse form was done in Febuary and apparently they didn't put it in like it was supposed too. They manually did it that was there excuse and then they said it would be 11 weeks for the rebate. Then nothing happened I called they said they would transfer it to another department. I would get a call within 7 days. Then they called said that it is fine should be back in the other department and it would be another 11 weeks. Well I guess I'm never going to see it. As the electric company goes up %30 on there bill and gas goes through the roof we all sit here and rot.
