BTW, nothing in our bank accounts today!!!!

Please don't make nasty or condescending comments to those who are waiting for this check. No, it will not change their life, but it may cause one less gray hair on some...

Plus, I was reading and partaking in this thread as some sort of game - "Who got their check?" "Not today." Etc., etc.

LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!!!!!

I don't think the IRS is doing deposits today. Tomorrow is supposed to be the giant batch getting deposited.

Um, no one has been nasty or condescending. I just said to be patient, as well as some other people. You'll get your money soon, whether that's today or next week.

You're taking it for more than it was intended.

Melikey - I agree. Probably because I am one of the impatient ones. Normally, I have a lot of patience, but when it comes to money coming to me - I WANT IT NOW!!!!

I got this message which doesn't make sense since i received my DD in February.

We are sorry, but we cannot provide the status of your Stimulus payment. Please check the Payment Schedule available on our web site. If the filing status on your 2007 tax return is Married Filing Joint, please use the FIRST Social Security Number shown on your return when you use the Payment Schedule to find your estimated payment date. The schedule will show you approximately when you can expect to receive your payment, if you qualify for it.

Please allow 2 weeks from the date shown on the schedule to receive your payment.

Remember, in order to qualify for the Stimulus payment, you must have filed your 2007 tax return.

I think that's some generic canned response that EVERYONE is getting .. I got the same one.

I filed the middle of February (I owed $100 this year) ... and they cashed my check a week after I mailed it.. so I know they got my return.

When being impatient in regards to credit repair, one could possibly do more harm than good. So yes, patience is good in many instances. In this case, who’s being harmed by the impatience???

So, if the IRS is a week ahead, I'll get my DD tomorrow instead of scheduled day of 5-9-08?

While this tax stimulus is NOT going to change anyone's life in the long-term, others who have emergency funds and are sitting pretty should not be disparaging those who are impatiently waiting. (Now if the gov. had just never said anything about sending the rebates out early, people wouldn't be partly panicking - the way they originally set it up with the numbers and the dates that the checks/dd's would be sent "by" worked just fine.)

I keep checking my bank account and my daughter's bank account - because I have this addiction to making sure everything single thing is logged in. In the past I have had a breach because my ATM card # was stolen and used - and if I didn't check regularly (I used to check in every few days or so), I would have had a MAJOR problem on my hands. I caught the problem early enough and the right steps were taken with the bank.

The $600 my daughter is waiting for will help her purchase some supplies she needs for her job. The sooner, the better for her.

I would never question anyone's impatience or irritation at waiting for this money. There was a time when I first got divorced that I literally had to roll pennies from a big coin jar I had to put gas in my tank to get to work to provide for my 3 kids (since my ex refused to pay a dime yet wanted to go live the high life). I did whatever I could (well, not "whatever", but you get my drift) to make sure my kids had food, shelter and clothing. Back then, if I knew I was getting some extra money - i.e., tax stimulus rebate - I would be on pins and needles just waiting, knowing it would take a little stress off me, if only temporary.

Yay! I would be pyched too if I wasn't a "high earner" and made more than $75k/ yr.- which, by the way, is ridiculous. $75k in NYC or Boston is about the equivalent of $30k in Kansas City. It's incredibly unfair that a cost of living consideration isn't accounted for in this whole "refund" (read: redistribution), no?

PS I make $105k a year in the metro Boston area and don't come even close to the "living standards" of my friends in Charlotte who make $60k/ yr. Just an observation....

For the record, we filed in February, got the stimulus letter, were set up for a May 9 DD, and I am getting the we're sorry message on their website too. Not gonna worry about it until like May 12th, although I will be ticked if my new couch goes off sale before the check comes!

Hey, I got this great idea. Keep the thread on topic....

Everyone else, shut it, take it to PM's or something else. Jesus, like a bunch of 12 year olds.

No one

*edit* but why does that have any bearing on anything? You saying it should continue with a bunch of people fighting if its not a big deal? Then fine let it go that way. It was merely meant to be a constructive comment to get people to leave that subtopic alone and to focus on what this one is about.

for future reference, the "report" button located on every post would be the preferred method

back to topic i got stimulated

and who appointed you to the throne?

I was checking our account quite frequently as well as the irs website.

Well, talked to someone today and they said I will be stimulated BY CHECK next Friday (may 9th). I would like some premature stimulation but I think I am developing a disorder from the anticipation. The IRS also stated that since I filed the injured spouse form separately and not efile, that that is why we are getting a check mailed. I hope that by some piece of luck it is actually DD instead. lol. They said the same for the rebate as well. Oh and we get half of that since I am still in rehab for my student loans. They are putting half towards that (even though I didn't work last year) and sending us the other half.

But as much as I would have liked another grand, to be able to put to savings or whatnot, at least it's going towards my SL.

I did, sorry I forgot to copy you on the memo.

Go ahead and rule with an iron fist Clarke, I don't mind. Then again the caveat to that is I am of no importance whatsoever.

Still no check for the Hamburglars. We are patiently waiting, sort of.

I am so jealous
I filed injured spouse also, seperate from my e-filed return. Got the first part of my refund, noticed it was short, did the injured spouse and mailed it out. Didn't even take a month to get my $$ back, but that was by check. Guess mine will be mailed out also. Yours will be mailed out next Friday because of the ss#?????? If so mine will be in June some time

Well, so much for the IRS finishing DD this week. I definetly qualify for DD and I failed to get stimulated this morning.
