Anyone get their Stimulus money yet?

[annielynn]

Just being nosey. ;) We are in the first group to get our money. We also signed up for direct deposit and haven't seen it as of yet. According to the IRS they started the process on Monday the 28th. I am sure that it will be here by Friday. ;)

[dancn226]

I was wondering this same thing. DH last two digits are 22 mine is 16? So whose wil they go off of? Probably his? So, when they said they started processing it, did they mean that it would acutally hit your account? Or it won't hit until Friday? Just cairous?

[isign]

Did you file jointly? It goes by the first person on the returns, IIRC.

[kindermom]

I heard processed this week, hitting Friday. isign - I was under the same impression as you about which SSN it is processed by.

[hub1176]

Not yet! But we want to get our basement finished so I hope it comes soon:D

[Hello Kitty]

Not yet. We owed, and had it withdrawn from my checking account, so hopefully they know where to put it back in.

[Neen]

No, not yet. Ours should be next week, which is good since my daughters high school graduation is in a few weeks!! AND I have to get the brakes done on her car! Oh, and did I mention prom? Looks like most of mine will be going to her!! :D

[shopaholic]

I read an article saying the first batch should hit by the 9th of May.

[thedoorchick]

Actually the first batch is due to be processed by May 2, although some of them have been processed and received already this week.

[MsPeachy]

Not yet. We owed, and had it withdrawn from my checking account, so hopefully they know where to put it back in. LOL! This is just what I was thinking!! :D

I haven't heard the SSN thing - the order is determined by the last 2 digits of your SSN?

[isign]

It was on the news Monday that some of the checks were starting to hit. I'm in the second batch, so not for us yet.

[Standrea]

I don't think so, but we are in the first group as well!

[Delta]

Anyone get their Stimulus money yet?You mean welfare money? ;)

[DelSol]

Nope, but it looks like we are in the first batch so I'll be checking my account on Friday.

[jimmysgirl424]

You can get the payment schedule that the IRS has posted on their site here (http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html)

From that schedule, the direct deposit listing:

DIRECT DEPOSIT

Last two SSN digits: Payments will be transmitted no later than:
00 through 20 May 2
21 through 75 May 9
76 through 99 May 16

My guess is that some people have already received theirs based on the above.

[HGMorgann]

Our tenants received their check this past week. Rent will be on time this month I bet:-)

[Ribbit]

I would have an ssn ending in 96! Bleh...

[akacharlotte]

Stupid question: Is this check based on the tax return we just filed or the return we filed in 2007?

[Boskie]

On the return you just filed.

We're scheduled to have our check cut the week of 5/9.

[jimmysgirl424]

Stupid question: Is this check based on the tax return we just filed or the return we filed in 2007?

Its based on your 2007 tax return. (for filing year 2007)

[akacharlotte]

Thank you. Well that means we should have ours this week.

[ktdelsur]

We owed this year and I sent a check...we did not do direct deposit this time around and our bank is different than it was last year. I assume we will get a paper check in the mail?

[boilermaker]

ktd, we also owed this year and sent a check. We were told by our accountant that our stimulus check would be paper and thus a week or so delayed.

[ManteoChik]

Not yet. :( The last two of my SSN are 10 so I'm hoping to get it soon.

A good friend of ours got his yesterday.

FWIW, I still haven't gotten my tax return money yet. I sent off my signed forms just after Easter but dummy me didn't do direct deposit...but then again, they didn't ask me if I wanted that option. SO already got tax return money direct deposited into his checking account, but hasn't gotten stimulus money yet.

[nawsgirl]

Both DH and I have SSNs in that first batch- I just checked our Bank of America online and our refund check is listed as pending.... now whether we will put it in an ING CD (my choice) or buy a new TV (Dh's greatest desire) remains to be seen!

[jennylou]

Our tenants received their check this past week. Rent will be on time this month I bet:-)


I doubt it. Mine will probably be buying a big screen and then paying rent late. :(

[jennylou]

Yours is going to be mailed to you then, so you won't get it until after all the direct deposits have been made, is my understanding.

[thedoorchick]

I doubt it. Mine will probably be buying a big screen and then paying rent late. :(

Yep, that sounds familiar indeed.

[mpc863]

i think we all have the same tenants :)

[GoldEyes]

Two of my friends got their money direct deposited yesterday.

DH has a S.S. # in the first batch, but we owed this year, and paid by check , so we are just waiting on the check. I really really hope it gets here BEFORE we leave for vacation on the 18th, but it looks like we may be cutting it close.

[villanelle75]

The dates that Jimmy's girl posted are only for the rebates of those who did direct deposit on their returns. If you didn't use direct deposit, you will get a paper check and those are not scheduled to be mailed until after all of the direct deposit rebates have been paid.

[GoldEyes]

She posted the link for the website she got the info from. It includes the paper check dates, for anyone who is looking for them.

[salysaturn]

Nothing here yet.

We did get our return direct deposit, and that was within 5 days of us filing. We did owe (our was complicated, we moved from another state), but we also got $$ from Federal.

[phoenics]

I got the nice little note explaining about the stimulus and the fact that I'd be getting zilch, lol.

Does that count? :D

[imagirliegirl]

We should get ours Friday. I will be taking some of it to Europe. :D

[amyintn]

I work at a bank and have people asking these questions all week:) I've seen one with a SSN ending in 10 that has been direct deposited and my friend's who ends in 00 has yet to be direct deposited.

Now, oddly enough, this girl I work with, her mother received hers in the mail on Tuesday:eek: This has us all thoroughly confused.

[Yvangeline]

Mine hit my bank account last Saturday, I think (4/26). I was surprised that it was so early.

[miaclear]

Not yet....but we bought a Wii today anyhow ;) The rest of it's going to a new mattress.

[Kanga]

Not yet, scheduled in the second round, so I'm hoping for Monday, but trying not to get my hopes up. I still don't know how much money we're getting. Any SAHMs that have gotten theirs already mind telling me if you and your dh both got 600 or just dh? I've heard that if you filed married filing jointly, then it doesn't matter who made what as long as it's all under $150k and then I've heard that it does matter, and even if filing jointly, you'll only get the $600 if you personally made over 3K.

[MsPeachy]

The dates that Jimmy's girl posted are only for the rebates of those who did direct deposit on their returns. If you didn't use direct deposit, you will get a paper check and those are not scheduled to be mailed until after all of the direct deposit rebates have been paid. So does that mean if you owed, regardless of how you paid, you're still in the paper check category?

[wine_o_girlie]

i think we all have the same tenants :)

Yep, that's why they are "tenants" and not "owners". My tenant actually was on time last month, let's hope the trend continues!

[dancn226]

Yep, that's why they are "tenants" and not "owners". My tenant actually was on time last month, let's hope the trend continues!

HiJack......

I just feel bad for those people that are going to loose thier houses becuase of the foreclosesure going on right now! The numbers of people this is happening to is just insane! And I feel for them!

Okay back to the Stimulus $...does anyone think this is going to really help the economy?

[jennylou]

Yep, that's why they are "tenants" and not "owners". My tenant actually was on time last month, let's hope the trend continues!

To be fair, I really do feel for them. The gas increase is really, really hitting most of my tenants hard. But, yeah, when I see the big screens and brand new furniture of some of them, well, yeah, it is annoying.

[jimmysgirl424]

So does that mean if you owed, regardless of how you paid, you're still in the paper check category?

I *think* that if you paid what you owed by electronic payment (bank draft) then you will get your stimulus via direct deposit. I will go research and see if I can find out for sure.

[jimmysgirl424]

I was wrong. Here is the information for anyone who owed and paid by direct debit:

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]


Q I filed my return on time, but I haven’t received my stimulus payment, even though the payment date listed for my Social Security number has passed. Why?

A. In general, the payment schedule only applies if your return was received and the IRS finished processing your return before April 15. If you filed your return on time, but close to the April 15 deadline, the IRS may not have finished processing it before April 15.

Processing times for tax returns and stimulus payments vary. If you are getting a regular income-tax refund, the IRS will send you that refund first. Normally, your stimulus payment will follow one to two weeks later.

If you are not expecting a regular tax refund, your stimulus payment should arrive a minimum of six weeks after you file.

[MsPeachy]

Thanks for the extra info jimmysgirl. That first Q&A pretty much confirms I'm in the paper check group. At least I know to keep my eye out and won't freak out when I get something in the mail from the IRS :p

[emjay]

What BS! Don't you think the people that OWED on their regular return (and paid via direct withdrawal) need the stimulus check more than people who got a direct deposit of their REFUND?!?

[bensgirl1222]

We get ours May 9th. Woohoo!

[isign]

I got the nice little note explaining about the stimulus and the fact that I'd be getting zilch, lol.

Does that count? :D

Why do you not get one?

[phoenics]

Why do you not get one?

I was just over the cutoff amount for salary and I'm single, so I didn't have much to bring it down with (dependents, etc).

It doesn't feel completely fair - because of the high cost of living where I live, but I'm not complaining. I'm just happy to have a job and no worries about my mortgage increasing, etc..

But I stimulated the economy anyway. :D

[IrishEyes]

Ours was direct-deposited last night.

[attorneymom]

Ours was direct-deposited last night.

Ours too!

[akacharlotte]

Ours was in our account when DH checked this morning.

[DelSol]

Looks like we won't be getting ours today, we filed an extension so once we actually file our taxes then we'll get our money.

I told DH to get moving and get his stuff together so we can get ours filed, we need this money.

[salysaturn]

not yet, but our genius payroll dept direct deposited my paycheck twice...does that count? (one net/one gross)...sigh.

[imagirliegirl]

We got ours. Woohoo!

[ManteoChik]

I swear I will be like the last person on earth to get mine. SO checked his bank account this morning and it was there. :rolleyes:

[Hello Kitty]

I'm going to be stalking the mailbox every.single.day.

[yby1]

DH's SSN is in the first round of people to get the stimulus money, but it isn't in our account yet??? I thought it should be in there by today?

[BusyBee21]

Phoenics, we don't get one either. I for one, AM bummed--I think everyone that paid taxes should get one, no matter their income. Granted, $600 may be chump change to a millionaire, but we are far from it. I'd love the opportunity to stimulate the economy! :p

[WisWis]

DH's SSN is in the first round of people to get the stimulus money, but it isn't in our account yet??? I thought it should be in there by today?
We didn't get ours yet either. Our refund is delayed because we moved this year (verifying our address change or something...) so I'm assuming that's why our stimulus money isn't here yet either.

[MichelleRenee]

yby1: did you get your money yet? Today is the day we are supposed to get ours so I thought it would be there first thing in the morning and it wasn't. I saw that you posted the evening you were supposed to get yours and that it hadn't come yet.....

[Kanga]

I got mine this morning.

[shopaholic]

Yay...got mine today!

[lunaria]

We were supposed to get ours in the first round because Dh SS ends in 06. We have not gotten it yet! I checked the status on the IRS webpage and it shows no history of it. Anyone else not get theirs yet that was in the first round??? It should be direct deposited into our account but no sign yet. Rather frustrating dealing with the govt sometimes.:mad:

[Sha259]

Both DHs and my SSN put us in the second tier. I just checked our account and the deposit is clearing today! Cha-Ching!

[LeslieR]

We got ours, but I'm not sure when. And it's gone already.:rolleyes:

[Hello Kitty]

Did anyone get their paper check yet?

[jesseybell]

Ours was pending deposit this morning - I kept checking last night and it wasn't in there then.

[yby1]

Not yet, we are getting a check since DH had turbotax take the tax fees out of our refund. Don't know why he did that, I always pay them outright! Oh well, we'll just have to watch the mailbox around the 16th.

[MichelleRenee]

Not yet, we are getting a check since DH had turbotax take the tax fees out of our refund.

Can you explain more on this? DH and I had ours done by a tax service and they took their fees out of our refund. Does that mean we'll be getting a paper rebate check instead of a deposit? The rest of our refund was direct deposited.

???

[Rosebud]

We finally got ours yesterday.

[cactus]

Yay, us too! It was direct deposited into my account last night.:D

[yby1]

You'll be getting a check since the IRS doesn't actually have your bank account info on file. The IRS sent your refund to the tax service's bank and then they removed their fees and direct deposited the money to you. Make sense?

[lunaria]

Quote:

Yeah.. can you explain more?? We always do TurboTax and deduct the fee from the deduction. Because of that we are getting a paper check?? That is the strangest thing I have ever heard of.:confused:

[cowgirl]

Mine was in on wednesday. We only got $600 I assume since dh is self empolyed he got nothing. Bummer but better then not getting any.

[jimmysgirl424]

Got ours today! Yay! :)

[MichelleRenee]

That freakin sucks.

[DaniML]

We got ours today! Yay! DH is already planning on mindless shopping...

[jimmysgirl424]

Did anyone get their paper check yet?

No paper checks are scheduled to go out till the week of the 16th, according to IRS website.

No, it probably means you each got $300. $600 is the max per adult, but it's between $300 and $600 depending on your tax liability. I'm a SAHM and we received $1655.20. Don't have the slightest idea how they came up with that number, but I'm not complaining.

[Kopper]

Ours showed up as pending in our bank account today!

[Sevilla]

Ours was in our account today!

[bluberry]

I got mine in my bank account today although I owed the IRS money for 2007. So whoever in here said that you'd get a paper check if you owed was wrong.

[ManteoChik]

Ugh, I hate waiting.

I can say for sure that I will be using a different tax guy next year. I've used the same one forever (same as my parents) but they never even asked if I wanted it direct deposited...I didn't even know that was an option. Soooo, here I sit. I got my federal check back, but I'm still waiting on state. Stimulus check??? Forget about it. I guess I'll get it sometime.

[laura]

I thought it was $600pp/$1200 per couple + $300 for each kid (dependent). Is that not right?

It remains unclear to me if we qualify for this or not. I'm letting it be a special surprise. In the mail, in June, apparently.

[gf&js]

Today! :)

That is a strange number, lol! I thought it was going to be either $600 each ($1200 per couple) or $300 each if you didn't pay taxes, but earned income ($600 per couple in that scenario), plus the extra $300 per kid. Interesting, did you and your DH make more than $150k? I know they were going to phase the amount out if you were above the income....

Well here is a handy calculator to tell how much you will get (if any) Stimulus Payment Calculator (http://www.irs.gov/app/espc/). If you don't want to wait for the surprise :D

[Hello Kitty]

I gave up on the calculator - go here to see what you're actually getting and when it's being sent. :)

https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRServlet?app=IRACTC

I agree, Kanga, you are in the phase out section of the rebate.

[gardenmommy]

Hello Kitty~ Thank you so much for posting that link. I was sure we were not getting anything because we make way over the threshold, but I was wrong and we are getting a lot! Holy cow! What a surprize!

:D Happy Friday!:D

I keep trying to see when ours is coming and they can't find it. We are supposed to get it next week but I don't know if we are or not. I really hope so since we are putting a down payment on a new house with it.

This is driving me insane. I think I might call the 1-800 number if it doesn't put something up on Monday about when its coming.

[salysaturn]

yesterday...woo!!!

[Natasha]

Got ours today, right on time! Yay!

[Kanga]

Interesting, did you and your DH make more than $150k? I know they were going to phase the amount out if you were above the income....

Nope, not even close to 150k. Or 75k.

I was told on another (non-gov't site) that each person making under 75/150k would receive $300-$600 depending on your tax liability and then $300 per child. IIRC they quoted an IRS page that explained it - I'll try to dig it up.

[giry76]

today!

[miaclear]

We got ours last week. Bought a Wii. And as soon as MIL gets back in town we'll go mattress shopping :) I CAN NOT WAIT!

[emmjay]

We got ours today, as scheduled!

[Kanga]

Quoted from another message board, which was apparently from yet another different one.

Ok if you used 1040 add lines 52 and 57 if they end up less than $1,200 then you had a less than $1200 tax liability and your check will be $600 shorter---sorry got that off another site i'm on hope it helps someone

Based off of that, we probably then had 1055.20 in tax liability, then $300 for each child. Had it been $1200 plus, we would have gotten $1200 back.

[Katie1]

According to everything I've read our check should have been deposited today, but it's not there. I knew I shouldn't count on this money. I can't figure out why I haven't gotten it yet- we did not have any tax prep fees taken out of the refund so really there's no other explanation. Did this happen to anyone else?


The IRS website did say that checks would be deposited by close of business on 5/16, so maybe it will be there later today...but any other direct deposit I've ever gotten has been there in the morning.

[MichelleRenee]

we did not have any tax prep fees taken out of the refund so really there's no other explanation.

Do you get any sort of refund anticipation loan? I know there are a lot of issues for anyone who had their taxes done by a service (ie Jackson Hewitt). I am not sure how the whole thing works. It is very confusing but I keep hearing stories on the news about all the different things that can cause someone with direct deposit to still have to wait for a paper check.

No, we did not get a refund anticipation loan. I did the taxes myself using a free tax prep program (TaxACTonline). I filed through their website but did not have to pay any fees.

[Hello Kitty]

If you filed for free through tax act, you might be in 'low tax liability' category. Did you go to the IRS site mentioned above to see if you were getting a rebate? Not the estimator, the one I posted that knows exactly what you're getting.

[Katie1]

Hello Kitty- Yes, I went to the site you posted, and both my SS# and DH's come up with no information available.

According to the estimator though, we are well with in the guidelines for getting the rebate.

eta- I re-checked my taxes and it turns out I did pay a fee to file through taxact, but I paid it with a CC and did not have it deducted from my refund.

[sem426]

Ours was direct deposited today!:)

[MichelleRenee]

Sorry, Katie1. We too were relying on our direct deposit date only to find we have to wait for a check to be mailed June 13th. We actually relied on that money a little too much with some house repairs and ended up scrambling to pull money from savings to cover what we needed. I feel dumb for letting ourselves basically spend the check before we got it. Oh well. Lesson learned.

[sparkle&shine]

Got mine today!! Yeehaw!

[Katie1]

MichelleRenee- How did you find out that you are getting a paper check instead? My problem is that the IRS has info available for my SS#, which worries me. Their website gives no information on how to find out the status of your rebate if you don't fit into one of the scenarios in the FAQs. I can wait for the paper check, I just want to be sure it's coming.

[MichelleRenee]

I went to the website that allows you to check the status of your rebate. I entered our info and it said it had no info for us. This was also on the day we thought we were supposed to get the deposit. I came in here to ask about it and someone mentioned something about getting a paper check if your tax preparer took their fees out of yoru refund. That was what we did and we never got a direct deposit so I can only guess we are getting a check.

[PinkMartini]

Yea, we found out we're getting a paper check as well, thanks to the website.

[cocopops]

I haven't and can't freakin' wait :)

I am suppose to get my paper check mid June!

[jennylou]

Ours was in our account last night.

[looch]

Got mine, in form of a paper check this past week. Not sure what to do about it though, because I am out of the country until August. Do those checks become void after 90 days or anything?

[bookworm]

Got mine, in form of a paper check this past week. Not sure what to do about it though, because I am out of the country until August. Do those checks become void after 90 days or anything?

Do you have it in your possession (i.e. was your mail forwarded), or do you just know it's sitting back in the US? It should say on the face of the check if it has a "void after" date. If you have it (or can get it) and it will be void by the time you're back, you could always endorse it over to someone you trust, and have them deposit it and hold the $ for you. Or if you're an American Express customer, your local Amex office might cash it for you in $ or local currency. Or you could deposit it by mail to your bank back in the US.

[jeepgirl]

I got my paper check a number of days ago. I don't know if the fact that I filed in January or February has anything to do with the timing, or if it was just my SS #, but, either way, I'm happy its here. :)

[pride&prejudice]

I got my paper check a number of days ago. I don't know if the fact that I filed in January or February has anything to do with the timing, or if it was just my SS #, but, either way, I'm happy its here. :)

Got our paper check today. We filed a little later than you.

[cocopops]

PAPER CHECK

Paper checks will also go out based on Social Security number. For Social Security numbers ending in 00 through 09, the paper checks will be mailed starting May 9 and will continue through May 16. A similar process will be repeated in the following weeks.

Please allow additional delivery time, perhaps 3 to 5 days, since the paper checks are being sent through the mail.

Last two SSN digits: Payments will be mailed no later than (and received a few days after):

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


People who file a return after April 15 will receive their economic stimulus payment, but probably later than the schedule shows. A return must be filed by October 15 in order to receive a stimulus payment this year. See the online calculator for an estimate of the amount you will receive.

We are in the first group of paper checks and still have not received it, (we filed middle of February) though we received a letter on Tuesday saying we would receive it and how much. We leave for vacation tomorrow and I was hoping it would come before that, but oh well. Hopefully it will be here when we get back.

[Hello Kitty]

First group of paper checks, received it today. Whee-hoo, can't wait to make a heloc payment. :rolleyes:

Got our check in the mail today. :)

Does anyone know what happens to your check if you move? Will the check get forwarded? I tried to contact IRS to ask the question but the automated service wouldn't let me through unfortunately :(

[1_mommy]

anyone know how late one might get their check if they had to file an extention and taxes were filed 2 or 3 weeks ago (direct deposit chosen)

Got this from IRS.gov....

Q. I filed after April 15 and the payment date for my Social Security number has passed. How long will it take for me to get my stimulus payment?

A. It will generally take a minimum of six weeks after you file your return to get your stimulus payment.

Check the FAQs about the rebates at irs.gov. There is a link to a change of address form. I believe they said the change takes 4-6 weeks to process, so hopefully you can get it done before your check goes out. Don't know if they will be forwarding the checks or not.

We got ours! Now to pay off some of the HELOC.

[Ericka_Jarett]

If you filed a change of address with the post office, you should receive your check, the only thing when I moved that I never received was things like the local community paper and things that didn't have an address label, so things like the sales flyers and such. Mail I always received though.

I got a notice in the mail yesterday (picked it up today) telling me how much money I was getting and that I should receive it by the 23rd. WTF???? Way to waste a tree. Then, it proceeds to tell me even though I should get it by the 23rd, if I haven't gotten it within 6 weeks of receiving this letter to call.

Well from the amount of people posting in this thread that are unsure/confused about the amount they are getting, the method they will receive it, and when, I have a feeling that mailing greatly reduced the amount of calls to their service center.

I just got a letter saying what we would get and telling me we didn't have any children. What? Gah. I don't want to call.... wah!

We actually got ours and it didn't account for our daughter. Any idea how to get it fixed? I don't want to call either :(

[Ericka_Jarett]

We got that letter just yesterday actually. Told us how much we would be getting, we had actually already gotten the deposit on Thursday though.

I got that letter too. We got our check direct deposited on the 8th, and we got the letter on the 10th :)

There was something on the news Thursday that said there were like 250,000 checks that had gone out that they forgot to account for children. They said that a check would be sent out in July for the remainder of the amount, if you were one of those effected(sorry if I used the wrong one) by the mistake. I will see if I can find the story.

thanks cocopops!

We received this letter on the 14th saying we would have our check by the 16th. We received the check on the 19th.... the date on the actual check itself was the 16th.

[j*east]

Just FYI for anyone else....we filed taxes electronically and had the money we owed w/d from our checking account...and we got a paper check on 5/17, the day after we were told to expect it.

[daener]

We received ours today via direct deposit. And we did NOT get a tax refund. We had to pay, and we did so in a diffierent manner than out Economic Stimulus $$ were received.

FYI, we did receive a notice via US Mail earlier this week that was flagged "ECONOMIC STIMULUS CHECK" on the outside envelope for the world to see, but was just a notice that it was coming. Um. Duh. We live in Chicago. The WORST US MAIL Delivery system in the country (it regularly takes 3 weeks to receive mail from Arizona), why, oh, why would you announce to our neighbors ANYTHING about a check we are about to receive???? Thank God for direct deposit.

[littlemia]

Has anyone else who is supposed to receive the first round of paper checks not received it yet?

[Katie1]

I was just venting to my mom about not getting my rebate (which I expected 5/16 by direct deposit) and she said they ahd announced that they are 2-3 weeks behind schedule. Anyone else heard this?

[PinkMartini]

We haven't received ours yet and were supposed to have already...

[mrs_pell]

We also received a statement saying that we were getting it. WHY do they feel the need to waste all that freaking money and paper to send out letters saying that we're going to get it. WE KNOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET IT! :rolleyes:

[Niobe]

I got that letter over a week after I got my direct deposit. :rolleyes:

[JayJay]

I got that letter over a week after I got my direct deposit. :rolleyes:


So did we. As anxious as I was about knowing how much we were going to get, I would have killed to have that letter beforehand. :cool:

[jesseybell]

I got that letter over a week after I got my direct deposit. :rolleyes:

Same with us - I agree - A total waste of paper/postage!

[ManteoChik]

Finally....

I checked the post office box today (got busy and hadn't been since Saturday) and my check finally arrived.

[isign]

Our letter said that it has been delayed for review. Anyone know what that means or had the same thing?

[pocahontas]

FIIIIIINALLY! Got it electronically last Friday...

[MichelleRenee]

We finally got our paper check yesterday. The website said our check would be mailed by June 13 but our pre-check letter said we'd receive the letter by June 13. Obviously they did not communicate this information well and I think that's why a lot of people got confused.

[Brandles]

We received ours yesterday, too. It went to pay for June's estimated taxes. :rolleyes:

[Happy1]

We got ours on Monday and it will be going straight into my bank account to collect interest and be invested (per what Tim and I agreed to).

Nikki :D

[PinkMartini]

We got ours yesterday as well. $1800 going straight into savings for our house :) Boring but much help

[HeatherH]

Finally got ours yesterday! We're buying a new Nikon SLR digi-cam with it. Sooo excited! :D

[Kristy]

Ours came last week, and went straight into savings.

[itsjustme]

We put ours into savings. I wonder how much of America actually stimulated the economy with theirs :rolleyes:

[jennylou]

We paid some debt off with ours, not sure if that helped stimulate the economy, except for the CC companies.

[ca_girl]

Because I owed this year - I have to wait for the paper check! I'm using some to get my next tattoo & the rest will be in the bank.

[Dizzy]

Has anyone from either of the last two groups received their paper check yet?

[Ellyn]

No...we just rec. our letter today.

[dragonfly_71]

We just got ours but I haven't deposited the check yet. It is made out to both DH and I and we don't have any joint accounts so I will have to go to his bank with him so they can check my signature on the check. We will actually split up the check. I get my 600, DH will get his 600 and DS will get his 300 deposited into his college fund. My 600 will go into investments as usual. I am pretty sure DH will do the same. We are pretty boring.

[1_mommy]

we got a letter the end of june saying if we hadn't recieved it in 6 weeks, to contact irs. so hopefully its here soon!

[Ellyn]

We were in the very last group...and got our check today! (too bad we can't go out and "stimulate the economy"...I'd love to go and "blow" $1800 :D)

[Dizzy]

We were in the very last group and got ours Saturday...I'm *very* surprised that it was anywhere near on-time. I thought for sure we'd be waiting until the end of July.

[bug]

Still waiting for ours. We got our letter a couple of weeks ago, so here's hoping we get the $ soon.
