i know the dates are a week from today but i heard the irs is releasing money one week earlier.

[ben]

ugh, mine isn't until the final wave.

[Satomiblood]

I expect to get mine relatively early based on the final 2 numbers of my soc.

[Will Gotti]

I get mine during the first wave, May 2.

edit: Actually I'll get it May 16 since I'll get a papercheck, but it's still the first leg.

[Sasmasta]

Hopefully this week.

[GETBUZZIN]

heres another story
[http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Economy/story?id=4718901&page=1

[Sasmasta]

Wow, cool find.

[Satomiblood]

I'm guessing it also depends on what you specified as your payment method when filing your return, be it a mailed check or a deposit into the same account as your refund.

[Fadedsun303]

Mine went into my bank account on Saturday through direct deposit. It was a nice surprise.

[GETBUZZIN]

Mine went into my bank account on Saturday through direct deposit. It was a nice surprise.

nice, we can confirm that the irs is not bullshitting. i can't wait to get mine. gotta pay for cc bills.

[beatsofdevil]

gotta pay off dat Wii....

I'm in the 2nd wave, but I don't know when I'll get it now with the earlier release news...

[EndLeSS8]

It's through direct deposit?
If that's the case, saves me some time.

[Satomiblood]

It's through direct deposit?
If that's the case, saves me some time.

Well, it depends, did you get your normal refund through direct deposit or was it mailed to you?

[regulate]

what happens if i closed the account that i used for dd?

[NeREMIXED]

It's through direct deposit?
If that's the case, saves me some time.

i usually dont like cosplay.

but DAMN.

[GETBUZZIN]

what happens if i closed the account that i used for dd?

damn, thats gonna suck for you. i think this is what will happe. the money will be sent to your account, it will be rejected, then sent back to the irs. then the irs will have to print you a paper check and mail it out to you.

[Satomiblood]

what happens if i closed the account that i used for dd?

They'll probably just mail it to you.

I've had issues with direct deposit in the past and they just mailed me the check instead.

[hold dat]

ya i actually got my $600 on sunday...direct deposit

[MrQuotes]

ive gotten neither my return nor my rebate :sad:

[regulate]

damn, thats gonna suck for you. i think this is what will happe. the money will be sent to your account, it will be rejected, then sent back to the irs. then the irs will have to print you a paper check and mail it out to you.

That works for me, as long as i get that money eventually, im good.

[GETBUZZIN]

ive gotten neither my return nor my rebate :sad:

:rofl: did you even file?

[majeh]

june 13th for me... toooo long away however it'll be just in time for me to be able to use when i go to philly.

[Rooks4]

I gotta wait till May 16th =( But at least im not really hurting for the cash at the moment.

[JackTenrac!]

Got my refund! YEAH, BABY!

...sadly, I'll have to use that for a new bedset.

...oops. This is the AMERICAN thread. SUCKAS.

[DarthTrey]

I get mine on May 2nd w00t.

PS3 HERE I COME!!!

It's through direct deposit?
If that's the case, saves me some time.

off topic but who is that in your av?

shit is hot as hell lol.

[Nokato]

I should be receiving my check on May 2

[mags]

How do you set up direct deposit for this ish? Anyone got a link? I want my $$$

[Will Gotti]

How do you set up direct deposit for this ish? Anyone got a link? I want my $$$

When you filed, you have an option of either direct deposit or papercheck.

[Arsenal]

How do you set up direct deposit for this ish? Anyone got a link? I want my $$$

If you didn't select "Direct Deposit" when you filed your taxes, then it's too late to do anything about it now. If you received a paper check/are going to receive a paper check for your taxes, then you'll receive a paper check for the stimulus check.

[ChairHome]

I'm scheduled for May 2nd, but I'm getting it on Wednesday. Direct Deposit. My credit union shows that I have an incoming Direct Deposit that will post tomorrow and be available on Wednesday. :-D

[Romie]

I got a rebate for $340 a week and a half ago, but I think that was my state tax refund, which has always been separate from my federal when it came in check form (first year using DD). Guess I'll have to wait another week.

[Bobbypigo]

Just got mine!!! The full $600!

[TheDarkPhoenix]

May 16 can't get here fast enough! Glad I chose direct deposit

[StuartHayden]

I got lazy so I made my parents do my taxes. I regret it though because I doubt they did direct deposit so I won't be getting my check till fucking june or july.

[The Epidemic]

Ill have mine by friday...

[Insomniac487]

just checked the chart. not getting it till late June. Damn! 2 more months...

[Arsenal]

I'll be getting it in the 2nd wave. Haha, Direct Deposit ftw.

[EndLeSS8]

Well, it depends, did you get your normal refund through direct deposit or was it mailed to you?

It was directly deposited for me.

Is it $600 for everyone? I was told that I would get $300 because $300 is for single people, and $600 is for families

[Sasmasta]

I heard that too [single:$300, couple:$600].

[akumatrunigga]

i usually dont like cosplay.

but DAMN.

i feel you man


on to topic i noticed that the check is based on line 63 on form 1040.

[Will Gotti]

I heard that too [single:$300, couple:$600].

Shit. I heard it was just $600 for singles. :confused: One of my buddies is single and said he got $600. My dad told me my cousin sent him an email about all this and she also mentioned $600 for singles. I'll just have to wait and see.

[supaman]

how do you know if u qualify for it since i just moved from the east does it depend on your gross income

[Arsenal]

It's $600 for singles, $1,200 for couples (marriage), and $300 per dependant child (don't know what the cap is on this).

[Sasmasta]

Gotta love dependents.

[The Epidemic]

It's $600 for singles, $1,200 for couples (marriage), and $300 per dependant child (don't know what the cap is on this).

i believe its 17 and under.

Which means i should be gettin the 600$

[Arsenal]

i believe its 17 and under.

Which means i should be gettin the 600$

Oh, I know it's for dependants/children 17 and under, just didn't know if there was a cap on how many dependants you can claim. Like, if a couple had 25 dependants (birth, adoption, etc). Would the government really fork over $8,700 for the couple+25 dependants?

EDIT: Endless, your avatar is mesmerizing. Who is she?

[Will Gotti]

I wish I could claim my little 2 yr. old nephew. That little dude would take the money right out of my hand though and talk about some toys he wants and shit. :sad:

Last month, my mom gave him $3 and he stuffed it in his pocket, reached over and kissed her on the cheek then peaced out. Then he started talking to one of my female cousins, who's in college, that he likes. The fam started a loli-coaster. My man :rofl:

[TheDarkPhoenix]

how do you know if u qualify for it since i just moved from the east does it depend on your gross income

Everyone that has made over 2k gets it as long as you filed before the tax deadline.

[EndLeSS8]

< = girl in avatar is a cosplayer nicknamed "Miyu"


Well, $300 or $600, it's still good.

[Will Gotti]

Well, $300 or $600, it's still good.

Hell naw, double or nothing. Well you know what I mean. I want that money mang :mad:

[RodJ]

Question?
What if I did a direct Deposit with H&R Block(Who I don't recommend) and I used their emerald debit card. Does anyone know if my refund will be placed on the card?

[ThePurpleBunny]

I'm still waiting. I got my refund through DD, and it says it should be in no later than the 9th. That's too long a wait. I hope it gets in this week.

[Arsenal]

FYI, I read that people with delinquent child support payments are having their stimulus check intercepted and diverted to the child support payee. Same goes with the actual tax return. Sucks to be you if you're behind on payments...

[Adam Warlock]

I got my Bush Administration Payoff yesterday via direct deposit.

I gotta wait till May 16th =( But at least im not really hurting for the cash at the moment.

You will be once I see you. RUN THAT SHIT, BITCH!

[BunnyHead]

Dang

I already got my refund
but I want that extra munnies ASAP
I get paid this week but I owe my stoopid bank money so this would help out alot

[GETBUZZIN]

anyone get their rebate from the second wave yet?

[Luigi-Bo 87]

Those are due in by tonight if u have direct deposit right?

[GETBUZZIN]

Those are due in by tonight if u have direct deposit right?

thats what i'm wondering. i'm in the second wave and have not recieved my deposit yet. maybe tonight? or later today? i need the money badly. :rofl: Its friday and i need to party

[The Epidemic]

^word....:rock:

[Adam Warlock]

I think if you're second wave DD you should have gotten it already at 12:00 am. that's how the first wave went.

[The Epidemic]

^hmmm i gotta check my account then.
Last time i check it wasnt there yet...

[ThePurpleBunny]

2nd wave shouldn't get theirs later than the 9th through DD.

[J360]

i got mine this morning even though i was expecting more, i paid off all my credit cards =D. My state tax refund took forever though i just got it yesterday.

[Adam Warlock]

2nd wave shouldn't get theirs later than the 9th through DD.

That's 3rd wave. Everything was bumped up one week from the original schedule.

[Satomiblood]

Got mine a few days ago

Go dog go

[tsukihimeblood]

got it. orderin dem AKG K 701's now.

[Zero619]

Question?
What if I did a direct Deposit with H&R Block(Who I don't recommend) and I used their emerald debit card. Does anyone know if my refund will be placed on the card?

I am actually in the same boat as you with that. But I decided to put the Federal refund on the card and the sate by check. So Im wondering like crazy When Im going to get mine. For the record I filed mines like early February.

I bet you its time like these, parents,guardians etc are happy that they got dependants! Thank you baby sister!:wgrin:

Question is, what are we going to DO with the rebates. Me Im spending like half and stashing the other half. Im thinking of getting that iTouch or save it till June and get that Wii for my Birthday.:woot:

For the record, I actually was considering making a threadt about the rebates, but on the topic on what are you going to do with it.

[Arsenal]

You should payoff any loans/debt you have that is accruing interest. That, long-term, will help out the economy the most I think...

[ST Vega]

Fuck no. I haven't gotten my money yet. I need a Wii.

[Zero619]

You should payoff any loans/debt you have that is accruing interest. That, long-term, will help out the economy the most I think...

I do not have ANY loans to pay off. Or have taken out any EVER! The only things I have to worry about are:

1)Rent
2)Cable Bill
3)house Phone Bill (REALLY cheap)
4)Cell Phone (pre-paid)

That and the essientials food, clothes and what not. Which can pretty much be taken care of with my salary. Other wise than that, Dammit,Im going Shopping! :woot:

[Arsenal]

Yeah, if you don't have any outstanding debt/loans, then by all means, spend that shit down nasty.

[dano13]

I think whoever posts from now on saying that received their rebate should post what wave they belong in as well. I assume everyone that received it is from first wave, right? None are from second?

[uknowuwishuwereme]

What is this "second wave" that you guys keep on mentioning? Is it the $300 to singles and $600 to couples +$300 for each child excluding the rebate?

[TheDarkPhoenix]

Alot of people gonna be shocked when they get either a 600 check in the mail or check there bank account and its +600. I was shocked when i brought this up to some random friends and they had no idea what i was talking about.

[Luigi-Bo 87]

thats what i'm wondering. i'm in the second wave and have not recieved my deposit yet. maybe tonight? or later today? i need the money badly. :rofl: Its friday and i need to party

Yea, I checked this morning and it wasn't there. I wanna check now, but it prolly won't be there still. Hopefully tomorrow, I got bids on ebay that are up tomorrow and I need money.:sweat:

[The Epidemic]

^if anything it will be in by monday:bluu:

[Luigi-Bo 87]

^if anything it will be in by monday:bluu:

I DON'T need to hear that. Auction is up in 15hrs.:shake: Well, I'mma try and win it and stall payment til I get the check in.:tup:

[Arsenal]

What is this "second wave" that you guys keep on mentioning? Is it the $300 to singles and $600 to couples +$300 for each child excluding the rebate?

The date the IRS issues/sends your stimulus check is dependant upon the last two digits of your social security number, thus, the "waves" that people are catagorized in.

[mr. newbie]

i don't believe in money from the government.

[Sasmasta]

:rofl:

I lol'ed.

[Rickstah]

i've been reading that if you filed as dependant you won't be getting a check. true?

[BIGWORM]

I believe so.

MOVE OUT NIGGA!

[dano13]

Bumping, since it's Monday for EST people and you guys should report in the status of your rebates.

[Grits'N'Gravy]

Nada as of 12:30.

I got BoA

[The Epidemic]

ill check mine in the morning...im too lazy to do it...

[Faight]

I got mine a while back, about $2100. I never got my state refund though, which should be around 3k. Still waiting. Stupid slow North Carolina.

Edit: When I filed they included the 600 or whatever in my tax return, so yeah, 600 of that was from the stimulus thing. The rest was because I bought a Hybrid in 2007. I'm just bitching about my 3k from NC because they weren't supposed to tax my paycheck but HR at my company screwed up and I paid taxes for a couple months.

[Sasmasta]

:u: Baaaaaalliiiiiiiin'.

[Faight]

:u: Baaaaaalliiiiiiiin'.

I'm not actually big on sports, as I assume your reference to a ball refers to, most likely, basketball. I believe that hard work is overshadowed by being able to play a sport in this country, and that we strive for unrealistic goals of attaining fame and fortune through either sports, music, or acting, and we lose focus of performing well in school and learning a trade or craft in favor of toss 'round the old pigskin.

That said, I believe this economic stimulus wouldn't be necessary if our money was spent more wisely and was spread out a bit more than it is. I believe civil workers and schoolteacher should make more money than they do and athletes/musicians/etc should make less.

I also feel that this stimulus is just some bullshit the current administration is throwing out so people focus on "WOAH FREE 600 BUCKS SWEET" and think less about the financial blunders they performed. It also could just be a ploy to get people to file taxes and claim dependants, a form of census, as people are much more motivated to do so when money is being presented to them.

But I babble too much. And I don't like sports.

[Sasmasta]

:/

I see.

Wow ............ :pray::pray:

[dano13]

People work very hard to be good at sports, not everyone is a born prodigy. Their dedication to sports get them through college and through to their future. It's not like anyone can be good at sports, music, whatever. These people still have to work for money, they just do it differently.

And lets keep the thread on-topic.

Wave 1 direct-deposit WaMu, nothing yet.

[ckrazy]

I am like on the final wave...............

[Grits'N'Gravy]

Somebody loves the smell of their own farts.

First wave direct deposit or first wave postal?

i'm in the second wave and still nothing in my bank account. i have BOA. this sucks. i needed that money last weekend. :wasted: monday 10:39 Pacific time

[Chaotic Blue]

First wave direct deposit or first wave postal?

direct deposit.

[tindiamond]

I won't get mind till July 4th!:arazz:

[jae hoon]

Where are you people finding these dates? Oh nm

[AmbiguousCrosup]

Dates and how it works:

Here’s how the checks will roll out:

If you file your return on time and request that your federal income tax refund is directly deposited, the stimulus payments will directly go into your bank account by May 2 if the last two digits of your Social Security number are 00-20.

If the last two digits are 21-75, the date to remember is May 9.

If the last two digits are 76-99, you’d get that money by May 16.

But if you do not use direct deposit to get your federal income tax refund – or you are paying taxes owed when you file that 2007 return – you’re going to get your tax rebate check later. The rollout times are more complicated, too.

If your last two digits of your Social Security number are 00-09, you could expect that rebate check to be mailed by May 16.

It’s by May 23 if the last two digits are 10-18.

It’s May 30 if the digits are 19-25.

It’s June 6 if the digits are 26-38.

It’s June 13 if the digits are 39-51.

It’s June 20 if the digits are 52-63.

It’s June 27 if the digits are 64-75.

It’s July 4 if the digits are 76-87.

It’s by July 11 if the digits are 88 -99 and the person did not use direct deposit of a refund this year – or if you wrote a check to cover money owed for the 2007 tax year.

Got my federal today. Still waiting for that $600 though, Dubya owes me money :mad:

[Mashf3st]

I got my 600 today woot! time to buy some Greedy Genious/BAPES!

[Running Uppercut]

I got my rebate on the 2nd, and frankly it was 1/2 what I was expecting. Married couples where 1 of them is a non-working student or stay at home parent is going to be shafted and only get credit for the income of the working individual. $600.00 is better than nothing, but I'm pretty annoyed that we were led to believe that married couples would be getting $1200 bucks.

[catchafire]

You better check your tone[/Leonard Washington]. I know he doesn't own me shit, but I'm still waiting for that check.

[angryliberal]

he does owe us 8 years back...but i digress...

the irs webpage has a "where's my stimulus check" page where you put in your ss, how you filled and how many exemptions you had and it will tell you when your check is going out, or being depositted.

remember to put at least 1 in exemptions, otherwise it will error out.

[Will Gotti]

he does owe us 8 years back...but i digress...


That's what I was hinting at and the money being recompension (sp?), but I guess my humor didn't come forward well enough. Unless Catch is a die hard republican or whatever, I don't know how the sarcasm wasn't noticed.

[catchafire]

i'm not a die hard republican or die hard liberal. being one or the other doesn't seem to make a difference now a days.

Interesting, Im in the same boat

[dano13]

First wave direct deposit and still no sign of any monies.

[TheSix]

Got one.

Waiting on the $600....

[Phoenix Wright]

I'm getting my rifle/shotgun license with this money w00t!

[ckrazy]

I'm getting my rifle/shotgun license with this money w00t!

Wait what? in NY?

[defcon]

This is gay. I should be first wave, but I haven't gotten shit yet. I'm hoping this delay is because I filed an amendment to my federal return and my shit is still scheduled. No-strings $600 is too good. I'm not sure where I'd start if they did end up screwing me over without a refund tho.

[sait0u]

i gotta wait for another month. sucks

[dano13]

snip

Don't worry, I'm first wave as well and nothing has happened for me so far. I received my income tax return but my not my stimulus check yet, and I should have been first wave as well.

Friday is the deadline so I guess we have to wait until then...

[EndLeSS8]

According to the "Where's my economic blah blah blah" thing, I'm supposed to get my $600 tomorrow via Direct Deposit.

Well, we'll see.
It will be good, so I can pay for my next oil change and minor repairs.

[Nando]

Says no till june 20th... damn, I wanted muh forces

[Rodimus]

Thats right got my 600 dollars holla!!!

Checked has cleared, nothing feels better than looking at your checking account and seeing under deposits. US Treasury 600$ USD 5/6/08.

Damn and to think i was all set to see it on friday, so happy i got this early. I get paid friday too, MO MOney MO MOney!!!

But Im somewhat focused here. paying off the last credit card bill i owe. Also taking care of the student loan.

MGS4 is already paid for guess its time for a few clothes then.

I always save my money, but i actually feel like spending a lil paper. Might as well set up a new savings account. titled the gas account: Put savings away for gas in the yr 2010 when it'll prolly be 5 bucks for regular..lol.

Were you 1st wave direct deposit, or 2nd wave direct deposit?

[Satomiblood]

I used part of my refund to buy an MP-04 Prime

[Weeks]

Just got mine

[Mr. Bastos]

I just got mine.

[magnus]

Just curious, will these be mailed out as checks to the address on file with the federal government, or will it be direct deposited if it was setup for this years Tax Return?

Sorry if this has already been answered, too lazy to look up the site and browse other threads. I am on the last wave of rebates, so It will be a while for me to get it :(

[Arsenal]

What wave were you in?

[rsigley]

sucks for me

every other year i got some sort of rebate via property tax refund or business owner tax breaks

but this year get nothing

[Satomiblood]

sucks for me

Wait, why not?

[PaRt2]

Still waiting... but I'm in no hurry. It's just going to help pay off what student loans I have.

[rsigley]

Wait, why not?

too much income, business owners rebate this year is only if you generate below a certain amount of sales through the year, and NJ is one of the only states not having a property tax rebate this year

so you get screwed for being successful and living in NJ

[Dubz C. Brickweed]

A shame, I'm in the 2nd & still nothin. I hop my DD goes through, I just have a lack of trust of other niggas holdin onto my gwop.

[GETBUZZIN]

Well, I certainly don't need to say it but I will anyway: that really sucks.

[rsigley]

Well, I certainly don't need to say it but I will anyway: that really sucks.

well the one annoying thing is

i have a couple businesses and some lose money and some make money, just how it is

the problem is, as far as gov't taxes, i have to treat each business as independent. i pay taxes on the ones that make money and don't have to pay taxes on the ones that lose money.

but for this new rebate they want you to add up every business and the rebate is going off combined sales not combined profit

so if one business generates over 100k (the sales threshold), but you have 2 other losing a combined 100k, it doesn't matter. you're still considered too much sales and are screwed

i mean luckily i'm set up so the rebate would be nice but if i don't get it thats fine. some people i know though are struggling and going to probably lose some of their businesses as a result, but thats life i guess.

i should get some bonus though because i only hire legal american citizens not illegals like every other business owner, but nothing

[Mixah]

i'm going to be putting mine in the bank.

I don't think I made enough to get it, but if I did I won't be getting it until summer :(

[swerve]

i'm really hoping i get one of these... for some reason my mom says she claimed me, but i'm 21 years old so i don't see how that is possible. then she was told she wouldn't be getting the stimulus check... life would be a lot better if i woke up to money in the bank.

[Running Uppercut]

Interesting, Im in the same boat

Did you get your money already, or is your scenario similar?

[Weeks]

I only got 300; I guess I didn't make enough last year to qualify for more

[Silentness!]

It's through direct deposit?
If that's the case, saves me some time.

I LOVE HARRY POTTER TOO. GOT DAMN
__________

Anyways on subject I hope they DD my rebate like they did with my tax return

[Weeks]

They return your money to you in the same manner you got your 2007 tax return

[RockBogart]

You all do realize the extra check is really just a loan you have to claim on your taxes next year right?

[Ducky]

I'm in the second wave and got mine today.

[Dirt Mc Girt]

You all do realize the extra check is really just a loan you have to claim on your taxes next year right?

No I don't realize that, because it is a lie.

[swerve]

You all do realize the extra check is really just a loan you have to claim on your taxes next year right?

not true. you can read any article (almost) about the stimulus checks and see this isn't the case.

[Arsenal]

You all do realize the extra check is really just a loan you have to claim on your taxes next year right?

This is false. Do some research, even irs.gov has info about it I believe, and you'll find that this stimulus check is not taxable, nor do you have to claim it on any future tax returns.

[EndLeSS8]

Well, I got my 600 dolla like it said on that "Where's my Economic Stimulus Payment" thing

Sweet:tup:

[TrunksSS3]

It's $600 for singles, $1,200 for couples (marriage), and $300 per dependant child (don't know what the cap is on this).

i was told that May 16th


they told me that singles $300, and couples is a range from $600 - $1,200

but hey they could be wrong

[Arsenal]

I think it might depend on your income, but *most* singles that have reported here are claiming they received $600.00. The married person who reported on here only received $600 because his wife wasn't working or something. 2 working people, married = $1,200.00 for *most* cases.

[Grits'N'Gravy]

I'm getting the 300 tomorrow according to the website. Half of the year I worked part time and did school. Still will be nice to get that money though.

[TrunksSS3]

^ so i guess ill wait for my $600 than if you are correct lolz

[Dubz C. Brickweed]

i'm in the second wave (last two digits 45), got mine today; and i already blew all mine on coke. god dammit

If you're for real about the first part, How the hell you beat 33? that's some shit. Man, these IRS niggas...

[AlphaDragoon02]

I'm getting the $300 (dammit), I should have it by tomorrow.

[rcaido]

So married couples get the check same time or separate?

[Weeks]

If you're for real about the first part, How the hell you beat 33? that's some shit. Man, these IRS niggas...

Mine was direct deposit.

[Dubz C. Brickweed]

Mine was direct deposit.

Mine is too. i might as well go see if it came in the mail just in case.

[Stylistics]

still waiting for my check so I can get new tires in my car. I should be getting $1,200

[GETBUZZIN]

still waiting for my check so I can get new tires in my car. I should be getting $1,200

i hope you're correct. i was expecting to get 1200 also but found out i might only get 600.

[Arsenal]

You had to meet certain income requirements I believe.

[AlphaDragoon02]

[DevilJin 01]

[TheDarkPhoenix]

TURBO TAX! = NOT SO TURBO STIMULUS

if you used direct deposit option with turbo tax this past year, you may be affected by this..please read see this copylink from the irs.gov site..

Rebates and Refund Transfers Using Santa Barbara Bank & Trust
Updated: 5/06/2008
Article ID: *****
IMPORTANT -- Using "Refund Transfer" with Santa Barbara Bank & Trust could affect when you get your rebate
Even if you have received or will receive your tax refund by direct deposit to your bank account using Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, the IRS will not do the same for your tax rebate. It will mail your rebate instead.
This applies only if you used the "refund transfer" service when filing. The service lets you pay for your tax preparation and/or e-filing from your refund proceeds, for an additional fee, rather than use a credit card.

Why does a refund transfer affect the date I receive my rebate?

When TurboTax customers chose this payment method, they authorized the bank to set up temporary accounts to be used only to receive their 2007 refunds from the IRS. The IRS sends the refunds to the temporary accounts and the bank transmits them directly to customers.
Because the IRS does not, in fact, receive taxpayers bank-account numbers under this method, it has stated that it cannot match taxpayers with their current bank accounts.
That's why the IRS decided that taxpayers who entered into financial transactions with third parties, such as SBB&T, would get rebates by mail. This also applies to taxpayers who use "refund anticipation loans" or RALs (loans made to tax filers against their expected refunds). TurboTax does not offer RALs.

Why did it take awhile for TurboTax to tell customers about the impact of refund transfers on the rebate payment schedule?

The law creating the tax rebates, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, was signed by President Bush on Feb. 13. As soon as details of the act emerged and could be verified, TurboTax updated customer articles about the rebates, including information on refund transfers.
It was not unti mid-March that the IRS announced the rebate payment schedule. The schedule revealed that rebates would be mailed in order of the last two digits of taxpayers' Social Security numbers AND that direct deposit recipients would get theirs first.

When and how you'll get your rebate
Check this IRS Web site: Stimulus Payment Schedule

To learn the status of your rebate, visit this IRS site: Where's My Stimulus Payment?
Use this online tool to learn when you will receive your rebate and how much it will be. However, the IRS says that information about your payment won't be available until about a week before your rebate is scheduled to be issued. Refer to the schedule above.

"so it looks as if i've been placed at the back of the line for recieving my stimulus check, even being i direct deposited...please see if this effects you

[The Epidemic]

I used TaxACT online for mine. I still haven't gotten mine yet (WTF) but my brother has and he also used TaxACT.

i still havent got mines either...:mad:
this is gonna be my tattoo money...

[DV8 Productions]

I got my rebate on Friday, last digits are 60 and I used turbo tax :/

[FallingEdge]

Got my rebate this past Friday. Direct deposit. H&R Block.

[DEMON_JIM]

I got mine on Thursday, a day early from when I was supposed to get it. I used H&R Block online.

-DJ-

[KING]

I got my rebate on Friday, last digits are 60 and I used turbo tax :/
how did you pay? via credit card or deduction from your refund?

[DV8 Productions]

how did you pay? via credit card or deduction from your refund?

Turbo tax was free to use and to file for me.

[akumatrunigga]

:rock::woot: today 3rd wave (84) but with the potential of gas hitting 4 bux who gives a fuck

[TheDarkPhoenix]

^3rd wave starts today?

[dirzzt360]

We just found out today we wont get ours until june or later. Seems we overlooked some of the stipulations. We had our refunds direct deposit but we didnt pay the filing fee with a credit card, we just had it deducted from our return. In that senario you get a paper check mailed. So we gotta wait. =( We were lookin' forward to those checks. They were gonna be used towards buying myself a new car. My car was stolen like 3 weeks ago

[manji187]

I should of been last week (one of probably the many 33's) but they were sayin that if you electronically filed, it's gettin mailed to you(i.e. turbo tax) so I'm watin for these slow ass niggas till June 6. They could of posted this shit before last friday.

[akumatrunigga]

^3rd wave starts today?

yes the 3rd wave started today.

[defcon]

motherfuckers. 1st wave and i still aint got mine.

[Night]

I used Turbo Tax and I sent mine through the mail (didn't want to pay the 30 something bucks to e-file for both state and fed). I also owed money, so I wrote them a check rather than have them take it straight from my account (they didn't even ask me to set it up like that), so it looks like I'll be getting the check in the mail, which hasn't come yet...

My dad also used Turbo Tax and he filed electronically but paid that fee of 30 something bucks though, but he got his tax refund rather quick and he got the Bush rebate already too. Arg, looks like I won't be seeing mine for a while...

[bridgypoo]

motherfuckers. 1st wave and i still aint got mine.

Same. But there's some regulations on who can get that money. I had to amend my dependency status to be eligible for a return. Looks like I'm getting it in 08.

[The_Reno]

I used Turbo Tax and filed online; I should've gotten mine almost two weeks ago. I had no tax to pay, would that cause a delay?

[ReggieHadoken]

Not yet. Should come this week, though. After I'm done with bills, it will be ME time!!

[TheDarkPhoenix]

Anyone in the 3rd wave get there money?

[Weeks]

I used Turbo Tax and filed online; I should've gotten mine almost two weeks ago. I had no tax to pay, would that cause a delay?

Why don't you go to the IRS and find out for yourself the status of your thing? You might not even any money back since you didn't pay any taxes

[manji187]

I used Turbo Tax and filed online; I should've gotten mine almost two weeks ago. I had no tax to pay, would that cause a delay?

Same here.

Here's what they doin...

http://turbotax.intuit.com/support/kb/tax-content/tax-tips/5961.html

And here's why (At least, a reason)...


http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/FedCrimes/story?id=4821635

I know I'm pissed, my "Pharmacy Job" was gone take off last week, but as always with niggas holdin money, we gotta wait.

[The_Reno]

Why don't you go to the IRS and find out for yourself the status of your thing? You might not even any money back since you didn't pay any taxes

Here's the thing; I did check that. I get 300, as I had no tax liabilities. So I get less, but I do get some.

Ninja edit: I just checked the IRS website again (it wasn't able to tell me before): I get the 300 dollar rebate, but it's mailed to my old address on May 23rd. Good thing my sister is still there!

[AlphaDragoon02]

I still haven't gotten mine, despite the fact that I should have been on the second wave. What the fuck.

EDIT: My bad, I am in the third wave.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

man i havent got mine yet... i'm starting to worry..

[...~*jase*~...]

Fuck that rebate is all going on gas,

[wez]

WTF? Jase? You're still alive?

[saberwolf]

Next week for me i hope.:sweat:

[mcginnis]

Just checked my account online and It was deposited already. Sweet, now I can buy a new monitor. :bgrin:

[TheDarkPhoenix]

Bah i got nothing yet


I'm pretty heated about that...H&R block ftl...

[Arsenal]

Keep in mind that if you paid for your tax preparation/fees/etc with a tax return deduction, you receive a paper check. If you paid upfront, with no deduction taken from your tax return, then you should have gotten it direct deposited (assuming you had your tax return direct deposited).

now that I think about it they did take a cut out of my refund so i didnt have to pay up front.


Bah...july 4...sigh


Good looking out Arsenal

[RockBogart]

I used turbotax this year as well. I wasn't going to get my rebate until well into the summer anyway, so no biggy.

[GreyFoxx]
