I just saw on the news where the govt inadvertently sent out the tax rebate checks early...just curious if anyone received their's this week.....we didn't....maybe next week.

Well I heard on the radio news that comes on hourly that the direct deposits would go out on Monday.

The Associated Press: Bush says rebates going out Monday should help economy


(I'll be checking my online banking more than usual LOL)

We were going to buy a travel trailer now it looks like we'll need it just to sustain

Sad that two people in the richest country in the world can't buy gas and food and pay their bills and take a good vacation. My husband's OT has been cut and they have cracked down on people clocking and starting working early which used to give him an extra 30-45 minutes for every working day.
My hours have been cut.
Well I know this money is not free but thank goodness for it right now.

Hey I have an idea how about one every month until gas and food prices go down and available jobs and pay go up?

I woke up this morning, checked my bank account and there it was!

We haven't got ours yet.According to bfs last SSN# digits and that he gets it direct deposit we should get it next week.So much for boosting the economy around here though.The gas company just raised budgets up a $100.We got our bill today saying our $94 month will go up to $194.00 a month!So much for money going into the economy.Gas company wants it ALL!

We haven't gotten our yet, and with DH and my Soc Sec # ending 0X we should be in the first group that receives them. I except a direct deposit next week some time.

We aren't getting one. We make too much. Funny how we pay the most in taxes too. This country is so NOT fair.

I think you will be getting a rebate. My understanding is that is a "stimulus" rebate, and ll you have to do is have earned at least $3K and you should get $300 per person (so $600 for a married couple fiing jointly) plus $300 for each child under 17 years old. Could be wrong.....please if someone on this board knows differently, please post and let us both know.

Facts about the 2008 Stimulus Payments
"Eligibility for the stimulus payment is subject to maximum income limits. The payment, including the basic amount and the amount for qualifying children, will be reduced by 5 percent of the amount of income in excess of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for those with a Married Filing Jointly filing status."

You can use the IRS Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator at the link below to see if you qualify.

Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator - Welcome to the Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator

You will need information from your 2007 tax form. You fill in amounts from the different lines from your form and it will tell you what your refund will be if you get one.

Totally agree with you on this! Is it really too much to expect a rebate of geesh, much less than 5% of what we actually paid in. Screw that!

I know, I know....count ourselves lucky that we have the income......

I will be looking for mine all week. Sigh I used to be able to do a great big shopping twice a month that I felt so proud about and made me feel so secure. Now it costs me so much for gas and the basic nesseccities that I will proabably use a big part of it just to stock up and pay off bills.
Oh well with the gas the way it is we couldn't afford to take our usual trip to Ca this year anyway. For vacation I'll just go outside in my bathing suit and watch the neighbors cringe and crash their cars when they see me. LOL

I have no idea why I got mine that early. I looked at my account online Friday night to do my checkbook and it wasn't there. When I got up Saturday morning and looked again, it was there. The last 2 digits of my husbands SS# put us in the very first group to get the money which was supposed to be May 2 (they deposit on Fridays) so 1 week early would be April 25th. That's my guess but I don't really know why.

Where is it where it says when everyone will get thiers? Ours was Direct Deposited, but hubby's SS# ends in 7#. I read somewhere that we should get ours on May 9th. Direct Deposited. Which I believe is the second round of Direct Deposits?

I found this link on MyCoupons.

2007 Tax Rebate Checks on Squidoo

If you file your 2007 tax return by April 15, and request direct deposit for your refund, then you can expect your rebate according to the following schedule...

SSNs ending in 00-20, deposited by May 2
SSNs ending in 21-85, deposited by May 9
SSNs ending in 76-99, deposited by May 16

Notice that taxpayers who requested direct deposit on their 2007 tax return will receive their rebate by direct deposit as well.

If you file your 2007 tax return by April 15, and request a paper check for your refund, or if you owe a balance due on your tax return, then you can expect your rebate according to the following schedule...

SSNs ending in 00-09, mailed by May 16
SSNs ending in 10-18, mailed by May 23
SSNs ending in 19-25, mailed by May 30
SSNs ending in 26-38, mailed by June 6
SSNs ending in 39-51, mailed by June 13
SSNs ending in 52-63, mailed by June 20
SSNs ending in 64-75, mailed by June 27
SSNs ending in 76-87, mailed by July 4
SSNs ending in 88-89, mailed by July 11

Ok great, tyvm But judging from what everyone here is saying, it will be even earlier than that.

***Now they are saying everything has been moved up by 1 week.
There are even some news articles saying that most of the direct deposits would be made by May 2. Paper checks should start around May 9

The best you can do is check your bank account every few days if you get direct deposit.

Our niece and nephew were scheduled to rec. their check direct dep. on the first week listed and they rec'd it this Sat.

Beth

You so crack me up....thanks, I needed that!

I filed my income tax return on April 7th and the return was in my account on April 15th. I couldn't believe it! That was the fastest ever.

Now I am just a wee bit nervous that some have already received theirs, because both mine and dh's ss ends with 0x, and I would expect to be one of the first ones but nothing yet..things always end up getting screwed up for us.

IRS Tax Rebate Checks to be Mailed out Starting Monday



Staff Report
NewsWest 9

Good news for those of you waiting for your IRS rebate check.

You're going to get them sooner than previously announced.

Originally, the first checks were going to be sent out on May 5th.

Those checks for people whos Social Security numbers that end with 00 to 20 will now be mailed out this Monday, April 28th.

The following Monday, May 5th, those of you whos Social Security numbers end with 21-to-75 will have your checks mailed to you.

The rest will be sent out on May 12th.

I checked this morning and no deposit. Hubby's last two digits are 14, so we are supposed to get it this week. I was hoping earlier than Friday. I don't know why I care since it's already spent. We bought a Sleep Number bed and we'll use our stimulus rebate to pay it off and any extra will go towards our Disney trip.

If you copied this from the news website, they've got their wording totally wrong. The first round is not checks, it's direct deposits.

ROFL! I guess we'll be camping in our backyard for a vacation!

peapie

If you used turbotax and had your filing fees taken out of your refund, you'll get a paper check. I'm so dissapointed because I was counting on the money May 9th and now I won't even get the check mailed until the end of May

Do you still get a paper check if your turbo tax was direct deposit . Ours was direct deposit and they took the filing fee out of the refund. I didnt hear anything about this befor.

if it is wrong of what i posted y does it say they will be mailed out this week. it should say deposited this week

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. It's obvious our economy is in a slowdown. Fortunately, we recognized the signs early and took action. I signed an economic growth package that will provide tax rebates to millions of American families and workers to boost consumer spending.

On Monday, the Treasury Department will begin delivering the first of these tax rebates by direct deposit. During the first week alone nearly 7.7 million Americans will receive their tax rebates electronically. Then on May 9th, the IRS will begin mailing checks to millions more across America.

By this summer, the Treasury Department expects to have sent rebates to about 130 million American households. These rebates will provide eligible Americans with payments of up to $600 a person, $1,200 for couples, and $300 per child.

If you've already filed your income tax return your rebate is on the way. Even if you don't owe any income taxes you may still be eligible for a check, but you need to file a form with the IRS. And it's not too late to do so. Now, you can find out information as to how to proceed by calling your local IRS office, or go to the IRS website.

We want to make sure everyone who's eligible for a check gets one on a timely basis. This money is going to help Americans offset the high prices we're seeing at the gas pump and at the grocery store, and it will also give our economy a boost to help us pull out of this economic slowdown.

I'm pleased that the Treasury Department has worked quickly to get the money into the hands of the American people. Starting Monday, the effects of the stimulus will begin to reach millions of households across our country

I did find this news article..keep in mind things change alot with how the IRS is handling things. So you still might get it earlier than you think.

Questions & Answers On Stimulus Checks - NewsChannel 9 WSYR

According to link above:
"What If I Filed My Return Online Through Turbo Tax?
If you file and get your tax return through the mail, that's how you'll get your rebate check. If you chose direct deposit, your money will appear in your bank account in the coming months.

That’s not true if you're one of the people who prepared their taxes on line through the site Turbo Tax and chose to have the preparation fee taken out of your return.

When you do that, the IRS sends your refund check to Turbo Tax’s bank, they take out their share and then deposit the rest into your bank account.

If you did it that way, instead of paying for the prep fee separately with a credit card, your stimulus check will be mailed to you."

I looked on the Turbo Tax website and I didnt see where it says if you had your filing fees taken out that you would get a paper check ? All I see is where it says if you did a direct deposite your refund will be direct deposit. Am i missing something?

TT probably doesn't want a bunch of ticked off customers so they don't post it. Many have called the IRS to confirm this though.

sorry for another queton. Im not sure if i understand. I bought the turbo tax cd at the store and did my taxes through the cd at the end it said to file electronicly there would be a fee. I paid the fee with my tax refund. So does this mean I will get the paper check? Sorry for such a dumb question.

Yes that's what it means.

Thanks for answering my question. What a bummer !!!

That makes no sense since you've already paid your fees the first time around! If you chose direct deposit before, that's how it should come this time.
We used Tax cut but used our CC to pay the fees , thank goodness.

We used Turbo Tax and used a CC to pay for fees too. Hopefully we get the check soon. My Dh's last #'s are 0X but it has not yet been deposited in the bank. Oh well it doesn't really matter it'll get here when it gets here.

I delivered about 25 checks today- several customers said they were the incentive checks.

Don't feel bad -- we're not getting one either.

so for the lady saying she delivered 25 checks or so today the irs web sight must be wrong couse it says the paper checks will go out starting may 9th but there allready started couse she delivered sometoday so i guess no matter what we read when they come they come right??

please post if you get your check today the irs is saying there sending out paper checks starting on may 9th but i have also herd about 25 people getting paper checks yesterday...so i dont know what to think

I assume if you used H and R block they will be mailed too, correct?
Or does anyone know.

GO TONY!!!!!!!!!!! # 20!!!

I called the irs yesterday and if you got your refund on one of the emerald cards from H&R BLOCK you will receive a paper check in the mail. I thankfully never went to H&R block and just had it deposited in to our account. No refund as of this morning tho.

No refund here either, and DH's social ends in 11. I was really hoping it would be in there today. We didn't mail ours out til April 15th, so maybe that's why. We did do auto deposit though, so keeping my fingers crossed!

Yea we probably won't get ours til next week anyway. I was kinda hoping it would be here sooner, but then I figured it would just be gone faster anyway..LOL.

Filed my tax return the 3rd week of Jan, had my refund direct deposited and my SS# ends in 03 but haven't recieved anything yet. Was hoping it would be there either yesterday or today as I want to make a purchase of an item that is on sale until Wed.

Recieved ours Friday and we are teens for SS#
Filed back in March.

was it a paper check couse i herd someone say she delivered 25 of them yesterday
