My friends ss# end with 75, which we think she should be getting her rebate Friday, but when we check the irs site, it still says nothing. Has anyone had any luck with updates?

I haven't at all. Mine ends with 97 and it still tells me nothing. I check it daily as I figure they will be scheduling them daily and I was under the understanding once yours is actually scheduled it will show you the info but so far I'm getting nothing. I keep hoping soon mine will show something.

did you do direct deposit?

I did direct deposit and just checked again today and still no update on mine but my last digits are 97 and according to the schedule it won't be deposited until the 16th so I'm guessing it's not scheduled yet so that's why I'm getting no info. At least I hope that's the reason.

johnita -

If you used an online tax service like TurboTax, TaxAct or TaxCut, and had the fees for using their services taken out of your refund instead of paying for the fees by credit card, OR if you received a RAL (refund anticipation loan or "rapid refund"), you WILL NOT get your stimulus payment by direct deposit - it will be sent by check, according to the schedule for check mailings on irs. gov.

No money for me either and my last two are 47. I will say it is mine when I see it in my hand. Laughing

I've been telling everyone and their brother about this whole screw up by the IRS - not letting us know about the payments not going direct deposit if you had fees deducted from your refund or took an RAL. And you know what? Not one single person that I've told about it had any prior knowledge of it - not one. The IRS messed up big time on this one. Keeping millions of people in the dark and expecting money at a certain time, only to inform them a few days after it was supposed to arrive (or a few days before) that it won't be there....nice job, IRS.

I didn't have any fee's taken out of my refund. So I was thinking it should still be sticking with the may 16th schedule. But I still can't get any information when I use the lookup tool on the website. Has anyone in the last group of SSN numbers been able to get accurate information on when theirs would be deposited?

Thanks,
Johnita

I'm in the last group too and I'm in the same boat as you johnita . . . . I can't get any info to come up when I enter my info either. Hopefully it will start working for us soon . . .

I thought I read on here that it only shows up after it is scheduled to go out...could be wrong though..

girls at my job were on the IRS site today after I showed them they could look it up. One gal had already gotten her money on Tuesday this week, we put her info in and it came up with Tuesday's date. So we did someone else's information and it shows her check will be deposited next Tuesday, I wish I could remember what her last 2 are, I can ask her tomorrow.

I have to agree with Sue, they really did a bad job at advising everyone on the dates. Another friend at work was expecting her check tomorrow and I had to break the news that due to her taking her filing fee out of her refund it would be mailed--- ON JUNE 27th!!! Boy was she mad!

I din't have Direct Deposit ( I already knew the check would be mailed). However....I got some REALLY upset neighbors who thought they were getting Direct Deposits, too. They (two of them, anyway) got the RAL. Talk about some ticked off women!!

The IRS site does say that the "where's my stimulus payment" tool will not work until your payment is actually scheduled to be deposited. They say it will start showing your info about a week before your payment is scheduled to be deposited - but I wouldn't count on that - I've seen some people's payment info not show up until the day before it was deposited.

I checked my sister's for her today, and it shows it being deposited tomorrow. My other sister and I, on the other hand, are among the ones whose fees were deducted from the refund we received...so we get a paper check sometime late in June.

Has anyone that has direct deposit and the last set of SSN numbers had any luck viewing their info yet. I saw their site was updated today but I still can't view mine.

I can't view mine yet either . . . . But as Sue stated - It could not show up until the day of the deposit.
