The hotline says two dates.
The first one is the paper check date and the second is the DD date based on which one you get. Also it was my understanding from the articles, to use the matrix on the IRS website for check dates.

This is soooo confusing. It appears if we get the Stimulas Rebate it will be in July but there is no reason why. We filed using Taxact.com and got direct depost fromt the IRS. The website and phone number said it had no information currently and based on our status to expect a check in two months.

WTH does this mean?????
Where's My Stimulus Payment? Stimulus Payments are being issued on a schedule according to the last 2 digits of the primary social security number (SSN) shown on your 2007 tax return. If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 Refund or you received a rapid refund, you will be receiving a check instead of a direct deposit. Please see the Paper Check section of the Payment Schedule. You should check the Payment Schedule prior to using this application since your payment information will not be available on this tool until the time that your payment is scheduled. Anyone here use Turbo Tax.......the dd refund is processed through Santa Barbara Trust Bank.....so are we to assume that we will NOT get direct deposit and have to wait until sometime in the distant future to receive our checks since SBTB charges a fee????? I am sooooooo confused !!!! PS Just crawled out from under a rock to post........LOL  |

NEVER MIND....................found this on the Turbo Tax site.......for others that may have used TT......this may provide some insight..
IMPORTANT -- Using "Refund Transfer" with Santa Barbara Bank & Trust could affect when you get your rebate Even if you have received or will receive your tax refund by direct deposit to your bank account using Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, the IRS will not do the same for your tax rebate. It will mail your rebate instead. This applies only if you used the "refund transfer" service when filing. The service lets you pay for your tax preparation and/or e-filing from your refund proceeds, for an additional fee, rather than use a credit card. Why does a refund transfer affect the date I receive my rebate? When TurboTax customers chose this payment method, they authorized the bank to set up temporary accounts to be used only to receive their 2007 refunds from the IRS. The IRS sends the refunds to the temporary accounts and the bank transmits them directly to customers. Because the IRS does not, in fact, receive taxpayers bank-account numbers under this method, it has stated that it cannot match taxpayers with their current bank accounts. That's why the IRS decided that taxpayers who entered into financial transactions with third parties, such as SBB&T, would get rebates by mail. This also applies to taxpayers who use "refund anticipation loans" or RALs (loans made to tax filers against their expected refunds). TurboTax does not offer RALs. |

Well, if anyone remembers above, I had to pay...so no refund/direct deposit. But I paid via direct debit from my checking acct. Just found the following on IRS site:
QUOTE Q. I chose direct debit to pay my tax bill. Will my stimulus payment be direct deposited to the same account? A. No, the account information used for an incoming direct debit payment to the IRS cannot be used as the account information for the direct deposit of the stimulus payment. People who choose direct debit to pay a balance due will receive their stimulus payments by paper check through the mail. [Updated 3/3/08] Q. I plan to choose direct debit to pay my tax bill. I know my economic stimulus payment will not automatically be direct deposited based upon the direct debit information I've provided to pay my tax bill, but can I also enter direct deposit information to receive my stimulus payment by direct deposit? A. Some tax preparation software will allow this, some will not. You will have to make this determination based on your own review of the tax preparation software you use. If the tax software allows you to enter both direct debit (electronic funds withdrawal), as well as direct deposit information, doing so will allow your economic stimulus payment to be direct deposited. [New 3/20/08] I don't remember what Web Turbo Tax allowed or what I filled in besides the direct debit for my payment. At this point, I'm guessing I'm getting a paper check.

I thought TT allowed both the direct debit as well as direct deposit........???????? TT does allow both. But apparently the IRS is not willing to make the assumption that *if you had to pay them* that the same account that you paid them from is the one that the stimulus should be deposited to. I went back and looked at my files from WebTurboTax. I think that if I had filled out the Refund section - just my bank account info (45b, c, d) - even though I'm not getting a refund - that I then would have gotten the stimulus via direct deposit. But since I didn't put any direct deposit info there (since, hello! I'm not due a refund) it looks like I'm screwed and getting a paper check instead of direct deposit. So based on my SSN, it'll be the end of June instead of here in early/mid May. Basically, folks who had to pay are getting screwed. Especially if you filed prior to a lot of this information getting out there. This post has been edited by texasnightowl: May 8 2008, 01:28 PM I'm just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie world.

Has this news about using a preparer just been released? I used H&R Block, and the IRS website actually gave me exact info about my check yesterday. It is scheduled to be mailed next week. If you're still getting that standard "we have no exact information on your rebate" message, keep checking daily.

If you received a refund anticipation loan (the only way your fees could be deducted from your tax return as I recall), then you will not receive this stimulus payment via DD...you'll get a paper check.

A. Taxpayers who use RALs or enter into any other loan or financial agreement with their tax professional cannot receive their stimulus payments by direct deposit and instead will get a paper check. FICO (09Jun03): TU:774 EQ:777 EX:792

okay... so what about this scenario:
I prepared my own taxes on turbotax. I then send my own taxes online through intuit's turbo tax. Then I had them deposit my refund into my account. None of this cost me anything other than the 19.95 to outright buy the turbo tax software. I didn't even give myself a little fee or tip for preparing and filing these taxes. Stop being sad. Start being Awesome.
