before the check stating when it would be arriving.

I had a letter a few months ago but not a week before it should have been mailed. According to the website mine was to be mailed NO LATER than 5/23 - and I still don't have it. :(

Stimulus Letter [2008-06-03]
Even though I had my direct deposited, I actually got a letter two days after it was already deposited that it would be coming.

Well I got a notice from the IRS that I could expect my stimulus check by May 30 and I didnt [2008-05-30]
get it today. I will get mine by mail. I wonder how far off it comes from when they say it will come.

Would filing your taxes late affect your stimulus check? [2008-05-30]
We filed an extension, and then sent our return out about two weeks late. We are getting a refund, so it wasn It was just a complicated return and we were just procrastinators.

I agree. We have to pay out a lot. The stimulus checks should be for everyone! sm [2008-05-29]

Don't want to waste money on a cab to the post office unless I have a pretty good indication that the check might be there. I live in GA. Thanks

Info on stimulus payment... [2008-05-09]
I looked on irs.gov and looked under where is my stimulus payment. It said if you did not send you taxes off until April 15 or close to April 15 you taxes weren't late but the taxes weren't processed by April 15. So you will not get your payment on that date on the schedule. It can be up to 6 weeks later. I mailed mine on April 15 so that is why I didn't get it today.

Anyone out there own a HAIER portable washer? - see questions [2008-07-16]
I just bought a Haier portable clothes washer (8.8 pound, top-load model), and a portable dryer too, with my economic stimulus check. Since I've always used laundrymat machines, I'm a little confused about a couple of things not mentioned in the owner's manual. 1 - Dumb question #1: Are you supposed to turn on the water supply at the sink first, and then the poweron button to start the machine, or do you first start the power, and then start the machine? 2 - Okay, here Where do you put the liquid laundry detergent? Theredetergent, but I Also, there is a little thing above that that says detergent dispenser on it. This is confusing, detergent on it, so I don (And although not a domestic goddess, I am quite mechanically-minded and had no trouble assembling the parts and hooking it up.) I also don or if you first add the detergent, then power it up. I REALLY don I donkill the poor thing its first day on the job!

Me, myself and I and my taxes sm [2008-05-30]
mmm I had only my IC income and only Federal taxes to pay last year. I paid in $7000 and some. I don Raking it in? Hardly! I pay 30% of my taxable income in taxes and I can only take the standard deduction, plus what came out to about $2000 in office expenses last year.You add up $7K x 3, + 2007 standard deduction for a single person + $2000 and you got my income. I don't call that raking it in!

Tell me about gas [2008-05-30]
I think this is what my DH wants to spend some of our stimulus check on. http://www.tkdownloads.com/gas.html Hope it works! I have heard good things, but would rather pay down bills.

Hardly "raking it in" [2008-05-30]
Do a little research on the income levels where you get double screwed on taxes - it You lose your deductions (I donstimulus checks they send out. Our income may be higher than some, but we end up losing a whole lot because of that difference in income. And I was not kicking her when she was down I was just saying I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who gets 0 refund when we have to pay out the wazoo.

Re: Those economy-stimulation checks - sm [2008-05-29]
I still haven Worse, I just got one of those Return Information Noticesin the mail. Well, guess what? The state of Calif. dida little number-rearranging, (or should I maybe call it fuzzy math?), and my state income tax refund has been changed from over $300 down to ZERO. When you call the number on the website, and finally get a live person to help, they very helpfully refer you to someone who can go over it with you, and then the system tells you it And get THIS: The actually had a LOWER taxable income than I had calculated. So how do they figure I am suddenly owed NO refund? It sure sounds like thathow the gov Like I Looks like once again, this Calif.taxpayer has been Californicated.

Could be worse... [2008-05-29]
We had to pay over 3k in taxes between fed and state this year, over 3k in property taxes, and we don't get the stimulus check. I'm trying to feel sorry for you, really I am...

Wow if you & hubs are paying that much [2008-05-29]
in taxes and didn't qualify for stimulus check (because you make too much?), ya'll must be rakin' it in!! Don't think you deserve much sympathy either, right? I know you we're asking for it, but seems a little harsh to kick someone when they're down...

I agree. We have to pay out a lot. The stimulus checks should be for everyone! sm [2008-05-29]

tax incentive [2008-05-28]
If you used Turbo Tax (as I did) or any other tax software that required a fee to be taken out of your return in order to receive your refund, then you will not get your money via electronic deposit, and you won't get it when you thought you would. It will be a check via snail mail and probably will come in late June. I had the same problem and just got an email from Turbo Tax a few weeks ago to let me know that I would not be getting my extra Tax stimulus check as soon as I thought I would. Not cool huh!!

I called them today and begged and practically cried. [2008-05-21]
I also posted on the Folger And it I can I guess life could be worse, but at the moment I cangetting stiffed on child support, no economic stimulus rebate, and now no latte.

I saw that Bill Maher episode too [2008-05-11]
I recently started watching him and he really puts things into persective. Especially the comment about about Colonel Sanders and chicken going up. Has some fascinating guests on. One thing I did say to DH after I heard Bush say that people could use the stimulus to help pay for gas I looked at him and said Of course he wants us to spend it on gas. He Can't wait for Bill Maher to come back on.

Reminds me a lot of MTing when you get a new job [2008-05-09]
They make promises; you totally believe them (not you, probably more me), and then you find out they count lines strangely and you don that's all I expect anymore, used to be week long cruises in the good old days of MTing. Remember then? Good luck to everyone on the stimulus, hope you get it soon! MTmom.

glad you got yours on time but [2008-05-08]
that has not been the case for everyone. Friends with last digits of 10 that used direct deposit have not recieved theirs and another only got 600 and not the 300 for her child. It can be very frustrating for those who are not getting the stimulus according to the information posted on their website.

Go to the IRS website [2008-05-08]
www.irs.gov, click on rebate info, then click on where's my stimulus payment. It will tell you exactly when you will get it and how much. All you need is your SS#, filing status and number of people claimed on your taxes.

schedule for lynn [2008-05-03]

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. PAPER CHECK Last two SSN digits: Payments will be mailed no later than: 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. A small percentage of tax returns will require additional time to process and to compute a stimulus payment amount. For these returns, stimulus payments may not be issued in accordance with the schedule above, even if the tax return was processed by April 15.

I have wondered..... [2008-05-01]
I am assuming that govt is using the same checking account you wrote a check to them from. I wonder what will happen if you've closed down the checking account for some reason. Seems like a lot of red tape for the IRS (is that an oxy-moron?). Then funds are returned to IRS and they have to cut check? Seems like it would be easier for checks to be cut for everyone on same day and mailed out. oh well....just something I thought of as I was reading the posts. With us, our stimulus will cover the checks we just wrote to them for last years taxes and this quarters taxes. Kind of makes you feel like your not getting anything....gee what a deal. HA HA. Okay, its late and I'm a bit loopy.

they must have been confused and thought [2008-04-30]
because stimulus checks didn't start going out until Monday: http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html

Not sure about check that he/she received [2008-04-30]
Did say that it was $1,200 which is what the person would have gotten from the IRS as the stimulus payment, so I'm not sure how it was received earlier than everyone else.

No, but I got a notice saying I don't get a check! [2008-04-30]
Istimulus package.

Ours isn't due until July, and since DH is self-employed and pays quarterly tax estimates... [2008-04-30]
the stimulus is going toward the tax bill. Ironic, huh? Oh, and if you want to get mad, listen to this. Our former foster son's parents are Korean citizens. They have green cards and are considered permanent residents of the US, but they live in S. Korea. They travel here twice a year but live and work in S. Korea. They do file US tax returns, but they don't make enough there (or they don't report enough!) to actually pay much in taxes. Yet, they are getting a stimulus payment. Now tell me why that's fair?
