Got my tax stimulus money

[CTSMOM01]

So is the IRS website correct? Are they still going to send out the paper checks for 65 on June 27th?

[prd2b]

So I did rapid refund with my taxes. I'm getting a paper check? My last two are 65. So doesn't that mean I'm getting my stimulation June 27?

 

 

From what I hear, RALs are going to be paperchecked. But check the Where's My Stimulus on www.irs.gov site to see when your check will be cut, IF, you're able to get any information from it... lots of people were getting the error message.

Seems like a person who makes less should get more than a person who makes more per year, but I guess the poor will stay poor lol.

 

No comment.

added to say the rich arent getting a dime of the rebates over 75k income or 150k married

You consider people rich ( husband and wife) working making 150,000? Did you know that the successful people in this country(you would call them rich) pay 93 % of taxes. So hardworking successful people get taxed more while lazy people pay less. No wonder it'so adventagious to sit around doing nothing.

Last 2 are 56...got it today

Well, $150,000 would most likely go a long way in South Texas. But I don't know that I'd necessarily agree with what I've highlighted in red. My husband and I work our BUTTS off. Just because we aren't in the position to be making six figures a year doesn't mean we're lazy. Nor does it mean we "sit around and do nothing."

 

However, I don't agree with the original comment by tgsweat. This stimulus check isn't about "evening out" the rich vs. poor. It's *actually* about stimulating the economy (or at least that was my impression), which technically the "rich" can do much better than a truly "poor" person could. That's not to say that poor people cannot or do not help the economy--they just spend a higher percentage of their income on it, than the rich may (unless we're talking about the Britney Spears' of the rich--the ones that try their hardest to run through it as soon as they get it ).

Seabee - When I called the IRS this AM, I was able to verify that they had the correct bank info. Which they did. So I know they have the info.

 

My original thought on this whole stimulus thing... They should have kept their mouths shut. If they wanted to get them out early, than so be it. People would have just gotten an early "bonus". Now we just have millions of confused people. Because they weren't clear on how they were going to get these payments to people.

Exactly! And I *hate* being confused and in the dark. It gets my blood pressure up and kicks in the anxiety. Ok, so I know I need to work on that. But it doesn't help when DH has been asking me to check the bank account EVERY. FIVE. MINUTES. FOR. TWO. WEEKS. to see if it's come in yet.

Received mine today (DD to ING), along with my 2nd refund (amended return). SSN in the low 0?'s. TurboTax or TaxCut, but paid fees on a CC, not out of return.

I guess I don't understand how TT got paid. Hopefully you can shed some light on this. If your actual bank info appears on your tax form, the only other way I can think of for TT to be paid is to split the refund into two accounts. Unfortunately this would also move you into the paper check category. Unless I'm missing something?

Today is the first day I've checked the IRS Stimulus Payment Status utility that it didn't give me an error.

Last 2 = 79

Direct Deposit

 

"Your payment of $600.00 is scheduled to be deposited to your bank on May 13, 2008. If you do not receive the credit by May 18, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then."

Looking forward to some stiumlation!!

Checked my checking account and the money is already available for use but listed as the 12th. My number is 95.

salary has NO bearing on whether a person is lazy or not.

[shake things up]

I'm 92 and still nothing and getting error message on IRS.gov. Has anyone gotten a DD even with the error message still showing?

I agree just cause someone doesn't make 75k doesn't mean they are lazy.

[antknee]

damn! still got this...

 

We are sorry. Specific information about your Stimulus payment is not available.

 

Possible reasons include:

 

* Your payment may still be coming, but has not yet been scheduled. Information will be available here as payments are issued based on the last two digits of the primary SSN shown on your 2007 tax return. Specific information about your Stimulus Payment will not be available until about one week before your payment is scheduled to be issued. See the complete Payment Schedule below for more information.

[shake things up]

what are your last two digits, antknee?

[antknee]

68...so i should have gotten mine by now. all i can think of is using TT...you have to send a signature page in and i waited 5 days to do so. and i filed 4/14. im actually kinda getting PO'ed about it..i wish i could see what day i was getting it...at least then i'd know.

[prd2b]

Received my second letter from the IRS today detailing info. (how much stimulus, when to expect it, etc.), so hopefully I get some stimulation by the 16th per their site and this letter
