Go here to find out where it is.

They may have started a few days early, but it didn't take them long to get back to last possible date - at least for me. 25 is my magic number and Where's my stimulus payment? (linked above) says it will be deposited on May 9 - the last possible date that's supposed to be for everyone with numbers 21-75.

edit: fixed link. sorry. failed to notice it was https. :eek:


My last 2 digits of my ssn are 00..

Your payment of $2,100.00 is scheduled to be issued on May 16, 2008. If you do not receive your check by June 13, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then.

WTF.. 2 weeks after the check was supposed to be issued. Sigh. Since we used turbotax and had direct deposit, they still dont count that as direct deposit and are cutting us a paper check. What a joke.

PAPER CHECK
Last two SSN digits: Payments will be mailed no later than:
00 through 09 May 16

Looks like right on time (last possible date).

Damn thing still doesn't work for me. I guess either it just doesn't work for me, or I'm not getting anything till the middle of June.

I did direct debit to pay my taxes, nobody ever answered my question if that qualifies me for a direct deposit stimulus payment or not.

Did you fill out the direct deposit refund information on your return? Bank account #, routing #, checking or savings account, etc? If not, then you should be getting a paper check.

"Stimulus payments will be direct deposited for taxpayers who select that option when filing their 2007 tax returns. Taxpayers who already filed and requested direct deposit won't need to do anything else to receive the stimulus payment. Taxpayers who did not request Direct Deposit for their 2007 refund will receive a paper check by mail."

You missed the part where I did direct debit to pay my taxes. So yes, the IRS has my acct and routing numbers.

From the IRS FAQ http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/ar...e/0,,id=182718,00.html

[/quote]Q. I chose direct debit to pay my tax bill. Will my stimulus payment be direct deposited to the same account?

A. No, the account information used for an incoming direct debit payment to the IRS cannot be used as the account information for the direct deposit of the stimulus payment. People who choose direct debit to pay a balance due will receive their stimulus payments by paper check through the mail. [Updated 3/3/08][/quote]

No, I didn't miss anything. One has nothing to do with the other.

Thanks for the link. :) Says I should have it by May 9th, but to contact them if I don't have it by the 14th.

My signature form for filing online got mailed in a bit late, I hope that doesn't hold things up.

I got mine, but the total seems odd? It was like $1532. After reading the IRS's site, I don't see how that's a possible combination of numbers you can get.

what is the deal with turbotax and direct deposit? my ss ends in 14, so at this point i'm assuming i have no news on the irs site because they plan on sending me a check on may 23, but why? i did turbotax and direct deposit, how is that different?

My SO and I just got our direct deposits in today along with the stimulus for our child. It was the correct amount and right on schedule.

I can't get any status of mine on the IRS site.

I know for a fact that they processed it because they wasted no time cashing my tax payment check.
