Where is my stimulus payment check 2009? I have not received it yet.

Sue - Have you checked the "where is my stimulus" link today? If you are scheduled to get the payment dd this week your info should show now. They updated it this morning.

It appears that they have updated it since this morning. I have seen the question on here many times regarding "will I get a stimulus check if I owe back taxes?" and I can just tell you that mine was applied to my back taxes (probably a good thing). I just kind of wished they had just gone by the first schedule and then when people got theirs early it would have been a good surprise instead of getting people's hopes up. Most everyone I know is in the May 9 group and it is posted that they will get theirs May 9. Only one May 9th person is getting theirs May 6. Still have to wait and see. At least I know where mine is, still with the IRS.

Yeah, I wish they had never annouced some would go out early too . . . . Or at least been more specific about what sort of people would get them early.

I checked it this morning, and nada. Still said "sorry, no info is available". I'll try it again later this afternooon. But I doubt it, given that I'm part of the TurboTax crowd.

Yeah, I know some people that are up for it this week, and their info is now showing as scheduled for deposit on the 9th.

I checked again - nothing. Still "no info available". Since I used TurboTax and had my fees deducted from my refund, I am out of luck, I think. Guess I'll hammer Ebay with sales to see what I can do to alleviate the problem.

Yeah, I think you are right. Good luck!

I am single, no dependents, I filed with HR Block on line with 1040EZ back in Feb the last two of my ss is 86 and the irs website still says I am entering in the wrong info, bla, bla, bla. I will just have to wait.

Yeah, I'm 78 so I have to wait until next week too.

Did you use a free program online? Or did you have to pay fees to use the software? Did you have those fees deducted from your refund?

I used Turbo Tax and Im getting my rebate direct deposit.

So you must've either used a free version or paid any fees seperatly. It's only people that used an tax service or software and elected to pay the fees out of their refund that would get a paper check, even though their refund was direct deposited.

Just an FYI...I've put a note into our local newspaper and also contacted ABCnews.com about this. I would like to see the news outlets carrying some sort of story about this, because the IRS sure isn't being forthcoming with the info. This is something they should have foreseen when they started this whole stimulus thing - they covered people in the military, people that owe back taxes, people that don't make enough to file a return, people that live in Puerto Rico and other US territories, etc...but they couldn't cover THIS??? This will affect millions, and yet the IRS is not informing anyone unless they call to find out why they can't get their rebate info on the website. And I'll bet if they don't ask the right questions when they call, they aren't told, either.

Aha! It now finally says on the IRS site:

I paid mine up front.

To go through the Bank of Santa barbara tacks on Two additional Weeks to your refund.

Who would apply for a Rapid Refund anyway???

You are good to go with the direct deposit of your rebate then . . . . :D

I did find this little tidbit that was buried in several paragraphs of info posted back in February on the IRS website...

Quote:

Man--I know a LOT of folks that are going to be TICKED OFF, they didn't make that clear at all...NOT FAIR!

I ALREADY knew I would get a check mailed. When I got my refund, I used the Emerald Card ( a debit card from HR Block). I ALSO got the Rapid Refund. yep..I agree with a few of you, some people are gonna be alittle ticked about the IRS not 'clarifying' things.

My sister just called to say they got their money today! The last 2 of the ss# is 46, also one of her co-workers got hers also, so maybe its starting to roll in!

My last 2 digits are 46 too and the site says mine is scheduled for deposit on May 9th. I have been reading the forums and couldn't agree more that the IRS should have been far more clear with how the payments would be distributed. I have heard many people who state they are really needing it, so for the IRS to post definite dates that obviously were not definite, it is frustrating.

I hope everyone gets their soon and that you use it how you need to but leave a little bit for something fun... :D

You know when they gave these rebates a few years ago I don't remember there being this much confusion. I think back then I got mine in August and that's when they said I would get it. I don't understand what all the miss is about this time.

I know but I screwed up my own tax return this year..I haven't filed one for three years because of being on disability I don't earn enough money :cry: to do it I accidently filed two of them without realizing it :roll: .

I got the letter dated 5/5/08 on 5/5/08 WTF...saying that it is being reviewed and to allow 60 days... :x this government doesn't know anything it is so screwed up :twisted: .

I know, its just madness. I do hope you get it before 60 days!

My last 2 digits are 97 and so far the site is still not giving me any info at all on mine. It keeps saying I've entered the wrong info. I'm guessing this is due to it not having been scheduled yet. For the ones of you that the sites working for how long before yours was actually deposited did the site start telling you when to expect your money?


Thanks,
Johnita

It worked Tuesday afternoon, saying mine was due to be transmitted NLT Friday, 5/9. Now, I can't even find the tool on the irs website.

I don't even bother to look anymore...since I'm one of the millions who won't get theirs by direct deposit ....

I still look daily but mine still says "we're sorry we have no information on your payment" And for me to check the information I entered. I'm hoping either tomorrow or maybe Monday it will actually be working and tell me something of use.

My boyfriend is in the first group of paper checks being mailed out and on the irs website is actually has his info showing up. Just thought I would let you know about the paper check thing.

YEAH!!!! Are they sending his earlier than what is on the original schedule?

Well that darn thing says I am getting $1553 tomorrow.Will believe it when bank says it is there. :lol:

No they are not sending his out eariler. It just says that his should be mailed out my the 16th of may. His last two ssn are 07.

my goodness cajun you lucky duck :lol: don't spend it all in one place. I am jealous

i have a question if married which social are they gonna use

if you are married which social are they gonna use??i put my wife in first filing which she is 24 and im 68 which one will they use

It goes by the first tax id on the tax return.

Mine came through today as it stated it would on the IRS site.

I got mine today as well.......

Good for you!

"I got a rock!"

I say, looking online at my bank account.

(re: It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown)

Hell once the doctors & wife get through with it,I'll be lucky to see much of it.

Ron, you're too funny!

(Thinking I gots some rocks in my account right now too...) :roll:

BTW, I was just watching our 11 o'clock new cast and they did a story on this whole rebate mess. They confirmed they had contaced the IRS and confirmed the whole direct deposit and using a product like Turbo Tax and paying your fee's out of your refund...So, the word is getting out. The IRS did say they apologized!

lmale...that's great. They apologized...I feel so much better now. :evil:

I'm just really confused about the whole thing, because I just spoke to someone this morning who said she got her stimulus payment by direct deposit on Friday, and she used an online tax service (TaxCut by H&R Block) and had the fees taken out of her refund...yet she got her stimulus payment already, by direct deposit.

Now I am even more confused! I did mines thru Taxbrain and my refund was sent to taxbrain then they deducted my fee and direct deposited into my account. I called IRS and Taxbrain and they told me that I am getting a papercheck. That is weird that your friend got hers direct deposited.

Trust me, I know, katelyn2cool! I'm totally confused and frustrated by all this. This isn't the first report I've heard of someone who got their stimulus payment by direct deposit when the IRS said they would get a paper check instead. I truly don't think the IRS knows what the heck is going on.
:evil: :evil: :evil:

I did'nt rec any direct deposit and the last 2 of my social are 31 so according to their schedule it should have been deposited last Friday but since they have no clue what they are doing who knows what's gonna happen. SUEBEE, have you heard of anyone yet that has rec a papercheck? I need my $$$$$$$$$

A friend of mine whose last 2 digits are 08 just got her paper check this past friday! I just finally got a response going to the IRS website about my 600 being mailed out by May 23 (my last 2 are 14). So im hoping maybe I will get lucky and mine will come in a week earlier like my friend's did!

Thanks Mooreba, that's good news! Hopefully I will get mines a week earlier too I am scheduled for June 6th. I am hoping to rec it by the end of the month.

No problem! I was actually very surprised when she called me and told me she got the check already! Makes me hope that some of the rest of us can get ours a week early too! Im leaving for a beach weekend on the 23rd, so I could use it before then! Im keeping my fingers crossed!

Alright enjoy your beach weekend! I will be doing the same this year I am going on vacation for one week I need it. I think the IRS puts those dates and they do send them earlier that way people don't start calling constantly.
