Stimulus Check Arrival

I heard that the stimulus check is set to arrive 2 days sooner than previously planned. Went to the IRS site and didn't see any changes.

Anyone else hear this?

Not 2 days early, but 4 days early. Payments that were originally scheduled to be sent "by May 2nd" (the first batch) are now going out this Monday, April 28th.

Checks will go out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday (not Thursday).

It was on my local news and on CNN.

I checked www.irs.gov and went to a link on that site called "calculator" and once I knew what I was getting based on exact information from my tax forms, I checked another link on the site and according to the last two digits of my ss# 12, I should have been getting something via direct deposit today 4-28-08 since I was in the first bunch with last two digits between 00 and 20. However, nothing was in my account today and I filed using direct deposit. Maybe tomorrow. I sure could use the amount they calculated of 1200.00 yipeeeeeeee!!!

They said on the new that they were depositing 800,000 checks on Monday the 28th, 800,000 on Tuesday the 29th and 800,000 on Wednesday the 30th, skipping Thrusday and then on Friday May 2nd 5,000,000 (yes million). So chances are most of us are going to be on Friday. That was on CNN.com. Im waiting not very patiently.

Im waiting not very patiently.

DITTO!! Nothing here and the last 2-digi's on my return "09"

DITTO!! Nothing here and the last 2-digi's on my return "09"

Same as my DH, ours should deposit the same day as yours.

So if you guys last 2 digits are 09 and mines was 12, if the April 28 deposit was for the first batch which is all of us(00-20) then why was there no money on Monday(today)? I,m not very patient I guess......free money....what can I say...

So if you guys last 2 digits are 09 and mines was 12, if the April 28 deposit was for the first batch which is all of us(00-20) then why was there no money on Monday(today)? Only filers that elected electronic direct deposit of tax refunds when they filed with the IRS will get eletronic 'checks' auto-deposited into their accounts before May 16 based on the last two numbers of your SSN - see that schedule here - http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html

Filers that elected to receive a paper refund check when they filed will receive their checks later - the paper check delivery schedule is here as well - http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html . Paper checks will be going out between May 16 and July 11 also based on the last two numbers of your SSN.

Single filers are good to go. Howver, if you filed "married jointly", then the IRS is sending the checks according to the SSN of the first filer listed on the tax forms.

Hope this helps!

It was in the newspaper.

We are joint filers, hubby's SS ending in 09, and our refund was auto deposited over a month ago in our checking account. As of 6:23 a.m. ET this morning, no deposit from the IRS in our checking as to the stimulus package. Just to give those with low numbers a heads up.

I have direct deposit too...and joint filer...so here we go to day two of stimulus check watch '08.... I read for the first wave only 800,000 a day are being processed Mon-Tue-Wed then nothing on thursday and supposedly 5 Million on Friday!

We filed direct deposit, hubby's social is also 09 and we have no deposit in our checking as of this morning. My guess is we will be with the original date of May 2nd. Promised my kids a clothes shopping day, went threw their closets last weekend, they have outgrown everything!:blink:

I work for a bank, and I have not seen or heard of anyone getting a direct deposit yet. I have taken tons of phone calls from customers wondering where they are.

Interesting. Seems working in a bank you would have noticed someone getting one.

I called the IRS today. My ss ends in 05. She told me orginally scheduled for May 12 and now going in next Monday. So the IRS schedule is NOT accurate. LOL

And I was naive enough to believe that the IRS had done something right (ahead of schedule) for once! LOL

My co-worker received his rebate deposit today via direct deposit.

That's what we get for depending on the gov to give us something for free. They have all of us running around like chickens with our heads cut off for this little money. Hey, you guys had great information so I guess I,ll check back in my account on Friday May-2-08 like everybody else...lol

Glad to know somebody got something.

I'm not all to fired up about this stimulus package. I plan to sit on mine or roll it into the house repairs I"ve been working onto, probably half and half.

I just think it is a colossal mistake of our government to borrow more money it doesn't have and send it out to everyone. We will have to pay it back. Our government is overspending by about 20% across the board. It's time we realized that and either accepted we have to pay more taxes (which I don't want to do) or realize that the government can't afford all these entitlement programs, war, etc.

I just heard of someone with the last numbers 98 and they got theirs today!

I'm a 73 & no check yet...

I know several people that have gotten their stimulus. And some were in the higher numbers and some weren't.

IMO, it will get here when it gets here. Life is way too short to be stressing over a stimulus check.

I called the IRS today.


What number did you use to get through to them? I've called the 'contact us' number on the website and am redirected to the stimulus hot-line, but it's just a recording.

thanks!

My last two number of my social are 02 and nothing yet.

No kidding...

I looked at my account today and mine got deposited this morning!

If taxes go up because of this, then I will just have to pay them.

I wont get to keep mine anyone so nu rush on it coming here:-( Also my last two are 01 and nothing!

I prayed all day yesterday that I would not receive our stimulus. I had to wait till yesterday to file bk so that our bank account was less than $300. (per AZ exemptions) When I heard that the stimulus money was been sent out early, I about went into a panic. We have no assets but the court would have taken that extra money from us. Without the stimulus, we would be upside down this month. Poor kids need some clothes and shoes that fit. This is the first time in my life that I can say I was happy that I only had $35 in my account at the close of the banking day, lol.

I can totally relate to your story. We never have much in our acct and since we are waiting on our stimulus check our acct will be huge. Last time it was even close to being this high was when we got our tax check and that we gave to our attorney to file. We aren't filing for awhile because of the fear our checking acct would be too high. I am hoping to take the kids clothes shopping, buy a crap load of groceries, fill up the tanks on our cars and pay off a huge heating bills. Few other things, like maybe fix my muffler on my car, wanted a new water heater, but that isn't going to happen, won't have enough left to do that. Praying ours holds out awhile longer. Anyway, good luck on your BK!

The IRS now has a tool to check the status for the stimulus payments!!

Thank you for that link, it says mine is due in my account on the 2nd.

I am still getting "You may have made a mistake. Please verify your personal tax data" and "We are sorry, but we cannot provide the status of your Stimulus payment".

The information I am inputing is correct, we don't owe money, we filed in February and the last 2 digits is 06.

wont show mine either. i was hoping for a nice dinner out with
DH.

mine won't show either.. darn it all.

I tried this too, another thread had the same info. Mine keeps telling me I made a mistake, but I know I didn't. So since so many are having trouble seeing when thier will deposit and are getting the same message, I blame the IRS site, I don't this many people could be putting in the wrong info.

Mine's not showing either but I didn't mail my tax return til April 14th I think :)

Someone told me that they checked the link and they are getting theirs tomorrow. Their last 2 digits are 34.

From the IRS site:

"We recommend checking the Payment Schedule (http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html) prior to using this application since your payment information will not be available on this tool until the time that your payment is scheduled."

So according to that schedule we should have our payment by tomorrow, so shouldn't it be showing up when I click the link posted?

From the IRS site:

"We recommend checking the Payment Schedule (http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html) prior to using this application since your payment information will not be available on this tool until the time that your payment is scheduled."

I'm only the messenger. I have no idea what that statement really means. Here's another IRS quote from this new "tool":

Remember, in order to qualify for the Stimulus Payment, you
must have filed your 2007 tax return more than 6 weeks ago.

Below are the schedules for economic stimulus payments related to tax returns processed by April 15, 2008:

So maybe you had to file by March 15, 2008 to be processed by April 15, 2008. Who knows? I filed electronically on Apr 4, and I'm not listed yet, but my direct deposit isn't due until May 9. Who really expected a clear statement from the IRS?

I filed electronically 2/23, with last 2 digits of 06.

Cali,

Are you a registered Republican? I've heard that Bush signed a secret executive order restricting the stimulus payments to only Republicans. :)

LOL, not in this lifetime.

Cali,

Are you a registered Republican? I've heard that Bush signed a secret executive order restricting the stimulus payments to only Republicans. :)

I get the same message about the "mistake" so it's definitely got to be the IRS website. My numbers are 30.

We filed our taxes in late Jan. Hubbys last 2 are 57, the Where my stimulus? program says May 6th. :)

It did not work for me either!
Imagine that - the IRS screwing something up!???

Wonder how much of our tax dollars went into making that web site that doesn't work?

I got this message:

"We are sorry, but we cannot provide the status of your Stimulus payment. Please check the Payment Schedule available on our web site. If the filing status on your 2007 tax return is Married Filing Joint, please use the FIRST Social Security Number shown on your return when you use the Payment Schedule to find your estimated payment date. The schedule will show you approximately when you can expect to receive your payment, if you qualify for it.

Please allow 2 weeks from the date shown on the schedule to receive your payment.

Remember, in order to qualify for the Stimulus payment, you must have filed your 2007 tax return."

We filed out taxes in Jan, had them deposited direct deposit. Our last 2 digits are 09 and it's not showing us either. Keeps giving me that mistake messages, so I am thinking since so many are getting that same message it's the site. You would think the government would have some sort of computer tech that could fix that wouldn't you??

So 57, comes before 06..now I get it. IRS has totally messed this whole thing up.

We filed our taxes in late Jan. Hubbys last 2 are 57, the Where my stimulus? program says May 6th. :)

Folks, we have all filed bankruptcy. The IRS knows that - we're in one of their databases to identify specific groups paying taxes. They may have a filter set up on this online form to divert bk filers from getting a date because some filers aren't going to get to keep their stimulus payment. Just a thought....

We haven't filed yet. We are waiting on the stimulus and then filing. Oh and I checked first thing this am, no deposit.

I'm a 73 & no check yet...

checks wont go out until end of May...only direct deposit will get it soon.

I too checked the IRS website, and it gives me the same message as PaKettle... oh well I'll get it when I get it

:angel: I received my deposit today :clapping:

I tell yah I was sweating this out...so, hang in there folks!

BTW my niece who never ever filed a BK and has "54" as her last 2 digits got that same error that they don't have info on her.

:clapping::yes2:Got my stimulus payment today!

I am just shocked that the Prez thinks this will stimulate the economy. I hate to say it, really do: numnuts!!!

What time of the day did you payment come in?

The payment was there when I checked this morning so I assume after midnight last night.

We filed way early, middle of Jan, had it direct deposited. DH ss ends in 09 and it's not in the acct yet! Why!??!?!? I keep seeing people are getting theirs and we haven't yet. We got the letter and haven't filed BK yet, so I don't understand why it's not there!

We haven't filed yet.

Man their schedules are all screwy, I'm sorry that all you guys haven't gotten it yet. We filed really early also and haven't filed bk yet.

We went to the new calculator yesterday and checked on it and it said today and it was right. I'm kinda shocked myself.

Last 2 Digits? When did you file taxes?

16 are my last two digits, I filed late January and got a refund 3 days later.

When You use their calculator make sure you use the last two of the person who is first on the tax returns.

I am trying to figure out how the IRS has come up with the way they are sending out the rebates, because from most of what I have read on here, we should have gotten our rebate already.

16 are my last two digits, I filed late January and got a refund 3 days later.

i used the calculator and my digits are 92. it said i was getting 600, and then 300 for my child. I just need this money soon, i dont know what to do.

Ok, now I totally don't understand, our last 2 digits are 09 and we filed early Jan, so where's ours? :cry:

This is the tool that will supposedly give you the actual date to expect it. It worked for me.

That isn't working for many of us.

It does not work at all.

For what it's worth....

I HAVEN'T filed Bankruptcy. I HAVE received my rebate deposit and the IRS tool DID work for me! I can't explain the problems people are having.

One thing I did notice is the IRS website link provided is a "secure" link (It starts with HTTPS://). If it doesn't work for you, maybe you should go to the IRS website and find the link in the normal way without being directed to it externally from this site.

In fact, I looked at the URL when I originally followed the link and got a bit of a scare because it didn't exactly look like an official URL. Given that you enter your SSN and some other personal information it would be a real bad way to fall victim to a phishing attempt and give out personal information.

I wonder how many others followed the link and provided the information without even thinking about the chance that it might be bogus?

I did find my way to the Rebate Status Tool in the normal way throught the IRS website and the URL is legitimate after all. But it was a bit of a scare for a few minutes until I did.

We just looked on turbo taxes website . This whole time we thought we were getting ours in this first batch :( Now we find out were not because we filed thru Turbo tax. :( I guess we had our filing fees taken out our money. We did have it direct deposited though. THIS STINKS.

Now I think we'll be getting it in the written check batch.

I would have to say that is not the reason, we filed with Turbo Tax and had the refund direct deposited. We also had the fee taken from our refund.

& I found out the question of how much we will be getting. 600 - 1200 if filed before may and 300 - 600 filed after.

Really?Maybe we'll be lucky and get it later today then. My Dh called a couple minutes ago telling me what I just posted.

We actually had a little disagreement about it to LOL. I hope hes not right :(

I also found it manually but still nothing.

Ours was just auto deposited today (5/2) - $1200. My hubby's SS ends in "09."

Well I found out my DH is correct with our check. We had it direct deposited but it went thru some thing called the Santa Barbara Bank & Trust? So yup will be getting a paper check at the end of may. Ugh I guess I was wrong again LOL.

THIS S*CKS

Well, that settles it. That's my whole problem right there. I paid Turbo Tax my filing fee through my refund, and I am now royally screwed.

Ours was just auto deposited today (5/2) - $1200. My hubby's SS ends in "09."

What time was it deposited?

Is taxact the same way?

Did someone on here say they did the same (Turbo Tax, Santa Barbara Bank and Trust) and did get direct deposit of their stimulus rebate? Did I read that correctly?

Hello, I'm new here, found the site by googling questions about this stimulus and BK.

Filed Chapter 7 - 11-30-2007
Discharged: 3-11-2008 but held open for my tax refund.


My trustee, (without my knowledge) had my normal tax refund intercepted. My attorney told me to file taxes normally and once money was deposited, I had to get a certified check for the amount Trustee was taking from refund - but trustee had IRS send him the check.

I had filed taxes for direct deposit. But IRS sent paper check to my trustee. NOW, I am wondering if my stimulus check will be direct deposited, or if the IRS will send my stimulus check to my trustee in the same way they did the taxes????

I've asked my attorney's paralegal and she had no clue. At same time I asked if I get to keep the check, and she said "I think so - because you filed bk before the stimulus was made into law - don't spend it and call back when you get it and she would check."

Just wondering if anyone else had something similar to this happen. I've tried the "where's my stimulus" and it will not work for me. Last 2 digits are 39 - so I am hoping next week it will come?! I HOPE

I would have to say that is not the reason, we filed with Turbo Tax and had the refund direct deposited. We also had the fee taken from our refund.




Did someone on here say they did the same (Turbo Tax, Santa Barbara Bank and Trust) and did get direct deposit of their stimulus rebate? Did I read that correctly?

I'm not sure if ichb used the trust company or not like some of us :(

Well, that settles it. That's my whole problem right there. I paid Turbo Tax my filing fee through my refund, and I am now royally screwed.


I used turbo tax but paid with my visa check card. I hope I'm not screwed too.

I talked to the irs today. they told me there is a catch for this direct deposit of your check. if you filed your taxes with a third party (taxslayer, turbo tax, etc....) you will get a paper check not direct deposit. i knew there would be a catch there always is.

I can only imagine the all out problems and heartache this has caused. I really wish this information had been available prior to this. I called the IRS just yesterday, and there was no mention of this whatsoever. I was assured by the IRS agent my deposit was coming next Friday. Guess not!

I guess ichb is just lucky. You lucky person you :D

Doesn't work for me either.

I talked to the irs today. they told me there is a catch for this direct deposit of your check. if you filed your taxes with a third party (taxslayer, turbo tax, etc....) you will get a paper check not direct deposit. i knew there would be a catch there always is.

You can't believe everything the IRS tells you. This only applies to those that used Santa Barbara Bank & Trust to pay for your Turbotax fees. If you used the TurboTax free filing online program (for low income filers), or you paid for TT and filing fees without using the RT service, you should still get direct deposit of the stimulus, based on the turbotax link posted above.

"This applies only to TurboTax customers who used the "refund transfer" or RT service when filing their 2007 tax returns. The service lets you pay for your tax preparation and/or e-filing from your refund proceeds, for an additional fee, under an agreement with the bank. This allows customers to pay using their refunds, rather than credit cards.

This IRS decision also applies to taxpayers who used "refund anticipation loans" or RALs (loans made to tax filers against their expected refunds) on their 2007 returns. TurboTax does not offer RALs."

Not that anyone realized this when filing online; as usual IRS rules keep expanding until they are incomprehensible.

I have given up trying to figure out this stimulus thing.

As the above post What money mentioned I guess you cant always listen to the IRS. As of this afternoon, I have heard more people that I know received their checks when they used turbo tax.

As the link I showed above it was only mentioned people who used the Santa Barbara Bank & Trust. So whoever used their CC or probably their debit card there fine and will be receiving it shortly :)

So here I am waiting patiently lol :)

What if I paid to file my 2007 taxes with my refund money using Santa Barbara Bank & Trust?

Even if you have received or will receive your tax refund by direct deposit to your bank account, the IRS will not do the same for your tax rebate in this instance. It will mail your rebate instead.

In its preparations for issuing rebates, the IRS decided that taxpayers who entered into financial transactions with third parties, such as Santa Barbara Bank & Trust (the taxpayer and TurboTax being the first two parties), would receive their rebates by mail.

This applies only to TurboTax customers who used the "refund transfer" or RT service when filing their 2007 tax returns. The service lets you pay for your tax preparation and/or e-filing from your refund proceeds, for an additional fee, under an agreement with the bank. This allows customers to pay using their refunds, rather than credit cards.

This IRS decision also applies to taxpayers who used "refund anticipation loans" or RALs (loans made to tax filers against their expected refunds) on their 2007 returns. TurboTax does not offer RALs.


I found this on the turbo tax site. I used taxact, but had my fees for using them taken from my return, which mean we are screwed. We won't be getting it direct deposited, it will be mailed! This totally sucks! Why didn't they clarify this on the IRS site? I mean alot of people I know filed their taxes using this programs and had their fees taken out of the refund. Doesn't say this anywhere on their stupid site!

All it does say is if you had your refund direct deposit and what your ss number is and that's it! Just our luck! I did say we should expect our checks on May 9th rather then the original May 16th. This delays our filing even longer!

Well, my ssn ends in 12 and I still haven't received anything. So much for their timetable.

I used HR Block tax software and Direct Deposit ... I'm just thankful I got mine....and hope everyhone gets theirs soon. It's not much cash but it helps.

I have been trying to get an answer from my attorney, but no luck so far. Does anyone know if a chapter 13 filer in GA can keep their stimulus money? I can't find anything and haven't heard for sure. Also, would it be awful to take some and have a little anniversary trip for my hubby & I? We havent been able to do that in so long it would be great!!

Ok, I just got off the phone with the IRS and Turbotaxes website is correct. It appears that anyone who did their taxes using TurboTax, TaxAct, paid their fees out of the refund rather then using a debit or cc, or used HR Block RAL will be getting theirs mailed rather then direct deposited. Something about our refunds went thru a third party.

So if you used any of these methods for your refund, you might as well sit back and wait. According to the IRS website the date of mailings has been moved up by about a week, however the mailed checks cover fewer numbers per week. Ours will be mailed out on May 9th.

So here's a question I have, do you have to deposit the whole thing into your bank acct if it's a paper check? How will anyone know how much you received if it's a paper check. Now I am not talking about lying to the trustee. I just don't know exactly what we should do with that check. Should we cash it and keep receipts showing how it was spent? In a way, not having that much deposited into our checking acct is good isn't it? I was worried about that.

One bad thing is this will delay filing even longer. I was hoping we could file by beginning of June, now I just don't know. Depends on when we can get that check spent. According to their site we will receive almost $1800. Scheduling repairs on the car and getting repairs done on our home will be a matter of when we can get this stuff done. I am just glad we didn't already schedule this stuff since who knows when that check will get here.

I used TurboTax but paid for my filing with my debit card. Got my tax refund direct deposited.
But the IRS stimulus check site does not work for my social #. I get an error message saying they can't process my request.
I figure there are so many of these things going out, there are bound to be a certain amount of problems.
Then, the fact that we're dealing with the IRS - we have to consider ourselves lucky if we get it at all.
Luckily we don't "need" the money right now. I just don''t want to have to be calling the IRS 2 months from now, saying "I did not get my check!" Hopefully THAT won't happen.

What time was it deposited?

Don't know but it went in after midnight on 5/2. Was there when I checked early Friday a.m.

Well, my ssn ends in 12 and I still haven't received anything. So much for their timetable.

My hubby's SS ends in "09" (filed joint and refund auto deposited) and we just received it yesterday via auto deposit in checking account - deposited early a.m. on 5/2.

and my deposit was on 5/2. I use a small regional bank: wasn't there at 2 am when I went to bed, but showed up by 9 am when I checked Friday am. I used IRS "free file" online via Intuit (TurboTax) and had no tax liability, so received $300. And will use it to help pay property taxes coming up.

I used taxslayer for our taxes with direct deposit. paid the fee with my debit card. so i wonder if we will be getting direct deposit or paper check. i tried that where's my simulus payment with my ss but it couldn't provide any info. i'll just wait and see what happens.

:( :unsure:

I heard some people that weren't able to get info from the link last week, are able this week.

I heard some people that weren't able to get info from the link last week, are able this week.

Thanks for the heads up, it didn't work for me on Friday but worked this morning. Says ours will be ready May 16th but it does go on to say, "your check" so I'm guessing we're getting a mailed check? I'm not sure why since we did use direct deposit so who knows. It's just nice to have a time frame.

I just checked, and it is showing up now with a deposit date of 5/16. The actual schedule dates, said we should've gotten it last week, since our last 2 digits is 06.

I just checked:

"Your payment of $600.00 is scheduled to be deposited to your bank on May 9, 2008. If you do not receive the credit by May 14, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then."

My SS ends in 30. So it is going according to the original schedule after all.

I wish it would have gone with our original schedule, but at least I know it will be here this week(only 1 week late).

Thanks for the heads up, it didn't work for me on Friday but worked this morning. Says ours will be ready May 16th but it does go on to say, "your check" so I'm guessing we're getting a mailed check? I'm not sure why since we did use direct deposit so who knows. It's just nice to have a time frame.

We also did direct deposit when we filed, but we had our fees for Taxact taken out of our refund. This means we went threw a third part, I have no idea what I am talking about, just what the IRS told me when I called. So now we are getting a paper check mailed out on May 16th. That really sucks for us because we are having work done on cars and house and that is what we are paying for it with. We can't file until we have spent ours down and now that will take longer since we are not getting it for another 1 1/2 weeks.

I heard some people that weren't able to get info from the link last week, are able this week.

It didn't work for me last week or today, but tonight it says that we should have ours deposited on the 9th. Funny thing, though, I spoke with the IRS this morning and she said that it's already been deposited and rejected by our bank (we've changed accounts since our refund) and it's now showing we have a paper check dated May 19th that we should receive by the end of this week. Ya gotta love the consistancy!

The irs still can't find me....makes me nervous!!

I did direct deposit this year and they still sent me a check ? Now I am guessing this package from the feds will come later for me. Any one else had this happen when filling their returns

The irs still can't find me....makes me nervous!!

If they can't find you, you can't get your check.

We filed with H & R Block and paid our fees upfront. Hubby thinks it's because H&R made an error and we had to file an amendment and the second payment we got from the IRS on the amendment was a paper check (first was direct deposit). I was mad at the girl at H&R Block for making the mistake back when it happened, if she's the reason we're getting a paper check for this too, I'll never go back to them again. Grrrrr!!!! We need that money to get our minivan's transmission fixed. Right now we are out our minivan and Hubby got rearended so his car is at the body shop! We're stuck with a Ford Focus rental car - family of 4, two special needs kids and all their "equipment" just does not fit in a Focus!!!

We were all set to file last week! ( I mean paperwork signed dated and ready to send in!) I delayed it because these darn checks were supposed to be here 'early' Well I still show nothing on the irs website. I called the IRS.
Supposedly because I amended our income tax the very end of March to add an additional $10 dollars of interest income our stimulus could be delayed 8 weeks!!
I asked what would have happened if I just didnt do the amendment(form 1040x) The man said " for such a small amount it wouldnt have been picked up by the system"

You have got to be kidding me! here I wanted to be as honest as possible. It changed NOTHING on our income tax return. We had already received our refund in February and the amount was exactly the same.
So then I ask the dreaded question why will it take 8 weeks. He said Amended returns go into the computer and are taken care of AFTER original tax returns. I asked if he could flag my account that it was a really really really really really easy amendment and he was very nice saying even if he could it wouldnt matter no one would notice.
So I wonder what to do now? I still see no information on New York state trustees taking stimulus but then again I dont see any information on them not taking it either. I'll wait another week or so and then just do what needs to be done. If it wasnt so much money I wouldnt bother. Just feeling really disappointed right now :(

If they can't find you, you can't get your check.

What I meant was when I input my info it says the "I must've made a mistake" bit....

I wish I at least had a "date" of when it would be in there!

That happen to me last week and on Monday it was fine. I think it only shows information if your stimulus has been processed.

It kept happening to me too, finally I broke down and called the IRS. I found out that it was because we paid our fees using our refund and ours would be a paper check mailed out on the 16th. Big bummer! Anyway, when I tried again this week it showed up, so maybe it has something to do with your ss number. Really if your worried just call them and ask, it put my mind to rest once I did.

Good luck!

We are somewhat in the same boat. We are delaying filing because of needing the stimulus check for so many different things and we just can't afford to lose it. So, instead of filing the beginning of this month, it will most likely run into sometime in middle of June possibly even the end of June. I am praying the creditors will leave us alone that long. We have to wait on the stimulus check because I had the fees taken out of the refund, even though the refund was direct deposited! What a pain.

Maybe talk to your attorney about this, find out what they say. I think right now it's anyone's guess what the trustees will do and personally, we just can't afford to lose that check. Our will be almost $1800.00 and since I don't see any other way to do the stuff we need to use that money for, we have no choice but to wait.

Good luck!

Yeah, I did call them and they were rude to me and basically hung up on me....Our tax dollars at work! :D

We filed in January, DD, paid the fees with our debt card...BUT my dh's SS is 92..

I just kept reading that it should be in there about 10 days before you receive it and still nothing, as of today.....I need the $$ to pay my daughter's tuition that was due in March, so I'm stressin' a little bit!

You will probably get it next week. We should've gotten our rebate last week(lst 2 digits were in the 00-20 range), but we aren't getting it until the 9th.

Software buggy - posted this via Quick Reply and it did not show up... then tried again and it also did not show up and then finally posted via Quote and that showed up and then the other two showed up after that...

false alarm.. see my post below...

Just so you all know, I got my Stimulus Check at 12:01a.m. on Friday May 9th. Must have been set on some kind of auto-program to deposit at that time.

Anyway, I paid taxes with TurboTax and used an ATM card to pay for the filing.

Woo hoo!

Now I can open that certificate of deposit account for a rainy day!

direct deposited today as per original estimate

Direct deposit at 11pm, was a week later than originally estimated.

I got my stimulus money today.

I am assuming then that we will get the money. On the IRS page it say's something about reference number 1641..... Anyone know what this means? Where supposed to get the money today but we had a check sent to us for the 07 tax refund even though I put an account for direct deposit. Has this happened to anyone? I dont care when I get the money as long as I know I'll get it....

Still waiting here. Won't have ours for another 1-2 weeks, paper check.

Still waiting here as well. Called the IRS and our amendment (which didnt change anything (no extra refund and nothing to pay) just a tiny amount 1099int that didnt come in until the end of February). Still has not been processed. That rotten 1040x that took me 5 minutes do do sits in their system waiting for someone to take care of it. Maybe 10-12 weeks even. :cry: I am glad that everyone got their checks but I wish the people at the IRS took care of all the tax returns/amendments that were in by April 15th. Then focused on the checks. Of course I say that.... if it were at least showing in the system I suppose I would be saying different.

I have yet to hear of the IRS doing anything fast or that makes sense.

My $600 was direct-deposited today as scheduled. I used HR Block online to do my taxes and paid the fee with my debit card. My SS ends in 30.

We're leaving for Vegas in 2 weeks but I'm hoping the IRS keeps the money to go toward our 2007 tax bill. How will we know?

My husband and I went to a BK attorney yesterday and he asked us if we had received our stimulus check yet and we told him we hadn't. He told us not to file BK until after we get the check because if we did the trustee would get it. I used TaxCut to figure our taxes but didn't have the refunds direct deposited so we won't be getting our check until sometime after May 23rd. Last digits of hubbies SS 16.:cry:

Wow, it's so different everywhere. Our trustee doesn't want our stimulus, even IF the IRS didn't take it. The stimulus should of had stipulations where it goes to EVERYONE, regardless of whether they are in BK or owed taxes. It is MEANT to stimulate and help the economy, not pay debts.

That's Congress for you :), overpaid bureaucrats who want to look good and don't think of the ramifications of everything they pass to look good :). I do agree a provision should have been made to make it exempted in BK cases. I also believe it should have been written so that if someone was married to a foreigner who does not have US legal status they'd still get it. (For example some soldiers who are deployed abroad and married abroad are being denied a stimulus check because their spouses are not legal US residents, despite the fact that the soldier has been deployed overseas the whole time of the marriage...)

hmmm I dont understand this, I checked today on the irs.gov site and I get this info:

Your payment of $2,100.00 is scheduled to be issued on May 23, 2008. If you do not receive your check by June 20, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then.

My question is..........why do they say the 23rd? thats a whole week later then the original date of the 16th. PLUS its saying we are receiving a check.....we did DD and paid our fee from a debit card. It doesnt make any sense. If we were supposed to receive a check by the last 2 digits of dh's SS# then we would be in July. This whole stimulus thing is making my head hurt. We have a trip planned the weekend of memorial day and I would love to use some of this instead of my paycheck.

Don't EVER count on the IRS and make your vacation plans around it. Just be thankful you're getting a check at all.
$2100, must be nice. Some don't get anything...

I dont agree with you on that. She isn't American and should not get a check, just because she married one. She should of become a citizen first.

I received the notification yesterday that I would be getting $1,200.00. No where does it talk about the fact that ultimately, the IRS may apply some and/or all of it to my present debt that I am in repayment on...why oh why is everything regarding this so vague....if I don't physically get this $, I am certainly not putting any stimulus back into the flow of things...?:blink:

No, I didnt say I planned my trip just because of the stimulus check. Never ever would I expect the IRS to send anything on time :dry: That would just be a bonus for us to spend a bit more then we have planned. I just wonder why every message board I go to when someone asks a question in regards to wondering when they are getting their check someone replies "just be thankful your getting one" Kinda like a slap in the face yanno :blink: Next year we probably wont be getting one because we barely made the cutoff on AGI so yeah Im thankful since you mentioned it :yes2:

They probably won't have one "next year". This isn't an annual payment.
And yes, you should be grateful you're getting this FREE MONEY that nobody thought they were getting. If and when you get it, think of it as a bonus...and be patient.

I dont agree with you on that. She isn't American and should not get a check, just because she married one. She should of become a citizen first.

I don't think you understand. The soldier isn't getting one either because his/her spouse is not a legal US resident, despite the fact the soldier is and is fighting for our nation.

I have not heard this but will ask my brother about it. He is stationed in Germany. He has been there for 9 years. He has done tours in Iraq twice. Afganistan once. He almost died in Kosovo. Yet he gets nothing because he married a woman from Germany and has had 3 children? He is still an American and if thats the policy for this stimulus then that really...pardon my choice of words but SUCKS!

I was scheduled to get mine today but it didn't hit my account. Who knows? My gf got hers on time last week.

Scheduled to get mine today, was in my bank account when I looked first thing this AM. YAY!

I must have checked my account too early cause when I checked later, it did hit. So yaaah!

I can't seem to find out if/when I am getting a check. The website says "We are sorry. Specific information about your Stimulus Payment is not available."

My sister and parents got theirs already. Anything that has to do with IRS is never easy going for me. I was sure to pay what I owed them too at tax time. Thankfully it wasn't much, considering.
