Can you have your people call my people so I know where our darn check is?

I don't want to be negative, I really don't....however, I don't understand the frustration some are showing with this rebate. This is a bonus check that no one should have counted on anyway. No one's life should be hanging on this check, but there is a lot of anger and frustration not only on this thread, but all over the internet. Can someone explain this to me? Not trolling, not looking for an argument...just trying to understand.


It's called human American nature.

Anyone that was supposed to receive DD and had their bank account information changed receive a paper check yet? Mine's not much, but still curious.

I still don't know where my check is or if there is one out there with my name on it. I got one letter stating that we would be receiving a rebate, still waiting on the next one that says when I am supposed to get it. dry.gif

I get an error message on the IRS website, for an error that was caused by company that was supposed to prevent errors, all because that company pays their people just enough not to quit, so their people do just enough not to get fired. huh.gif

So my people are the people that are supposed to keep those other people from hosing me over, but I still feel like I am getting hosed. mad.gif

Are you sure you want my people to talk to your people, Lisa? wink.gif

Any Hump Day updates? Either that you know your check is coming or you already got it in the mail.

Nothing yet for me, that's what we get for being on the tail end. They've probably logged all my calls where I complained and decided they'd process our check last. LOL

laugh.gif That's funny.
But nothing yet on my end...still. Maybe I need to stop waiting for it and it will just show up in the mail one day...
Lisa98
Chief - Don't your people know not to bite the hand that feeds them? LMAO

I'm picturing a bunch of clowns in the room when I call the IRS. Although I think they know more than they are saying. I see no point in the online status thing, as it generally hasn't worked for most people.
I'm still taking notes on the #'s and dates though. It could be helpful.

I got a letter from the IRS stating that my $ was applied towards money I owe them.

Thanks for the free payment Mr. President!!
Lisa98
BOO!! Nothing today. Not surprised.
manofice
I was expecting a DD but yet I have nothing yet. I did owe and the state and fed cashed the checks already... Since I guess i'm getting a paper check, it sure would be nice to get the darn thing
Lisa98
I'm just anxious because we may be moving by the time our check gets cut. Which means I need to get our address changed as soon as I know. Between now and then, I'll be out of town for majority of the time and I'd hate for our check to just be sitting in the mailbox.

I asked a Special IRS Agent how they were processing these stupid checks? 'Well its difficult to explain" said Mrs. Brown. I say, "Well aside from SSN, if you filed early are they processing the check early?". At first she said yes, I rephrased the ? and she said no.

Y'all might think I have nothing better to do. Or maybe Lisa has gone crazy (Thats possible too)? Since my major is accounting and I do taxes, this is good practice in mediating with the IRS.

Again, I know nothing.

I too have been waiting for a DD. Read on the IRS site today that if you did a rapid refund product to get your taxes Direct deposited quicker or claimed the 2006 payment you made to a tax preparer on your 2007 return that you will not get DD instead a paper check. Good thing I had no intentions of "stimulating the economy" by spending that money opting instead to putting into my savings account. well anyway because it seems that I fit the above two criteria mentioned and my SS# ends in 96 so I guess I will see a check in July....LOL

Who is getting letters? I know people who have already received their money and they did not receive a letter saying they were getting a rebate, what is strange is that the same day they received the direct deposit they checked the irs website and they still were receiving the error message.
bosoxfan
I was scheduled to receive DD on May 16th, I have a new bank account number since tax return time and checked the IRS site and now get told that I need to call them with a reference #. Eep.

I hope after the long weekend the IRS got it together... Updates still wanted/needed.

73 & 74 here. Still nothing on the IRS website. Filed in January with TT but had the fee taken from our refund. I've resigned myself to the June 20 date rolleyes.gif I'd love to know why the IRS sent out some paper checks early.

I think that's been the question of the day for quite some time.

mine end in -12 and I should have gotten a paper check, but nothing yet.
Justogetby
I got mine on the 2nd. I don't make much money - retail/customer service. But I got a D/D for about 375. All the other people I work with are getting 600 something. Why is that? Would this be affected by stocks I sold during 2007 by that much?

Just wondering if anyone can shed light... huh.gif
eiui thelus
Finally, no more "We're sorry"! Scheduled for DD on May 30.
I was starting to wonder if they were going to say we aren't entitled at all. mellow.gif biggrin.gif
Lisa98
I'm glad to hear some are getting updates now. I've checked a few times today, and nothing yet. As I've said before I'm sure we're gonna be one of the last to get stimulated. huh.gif

I also thought they were done with DD's, but I guess not.
lanelanta
the website says my check will be mailed my the 23rd and today I got a letter saying i should receive my check by the 30th

i sure hope so lol

btw my last 2 digits are 24
karahop
Yea! I got my paper check in mail today. Last digits are #15 and we filed with Turbo tax but opted to pay fee out of refund so that set us up with a paper check. Got letter last week paper check would be mailed by 5/23 and check came to us (live in NYC) in today's mail. Closest IRS center is Philadelphia and it's printed on the check that's where it was processed and mailed from. Hope this helps some people.

Got ours in the mail today- $1893. Kind of a weird amount that I can't figure out why but I'll take it. (Me, DH, 3 sons, no taxes owing).

Filed through H&R Block in Jan, DD, payment taken out of refund. Last 2#: 16.
cfj503
Well, we didn't get our tax rebate. Turns out the SL place took those. I am not sure how when they had to return all of our tax refund since I don't work and it was all DH's. IRS had told me that they would take HALF of our rebate and apply it to my SL that is currently in rehab.

Guess no one knows what they are doing. THis really peeves me.

My # is 36 and I filed in Feb using Turbo Tax. They took out $715 which is the correct amount that I would owe the federal government for this years taxes. (Hubby's # is 51 so they are going off mine, I was the primary.)

I was suppose to have a direct deposit on May 16, nothing and nothing as of today. They must be way behind.

Cheryl - is that according to the IRS "Where's my Stimulus?" tool?

https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRServlet?app=IRACTC

I thought I was supposed to have a direct deposit on the 16th, too, until I found out about the loophole with people who filed with turbotax but had the fee taken out of the refund. Now I'm waiting for a paper check dry.gif
Lisa98
Well I've been checking other forums on statuses for these rebate checks. And it's all random. There are people with #'s in the 70s who have gotten their check, or will this week. Then there are some of the early #'s who won't get their check until after the 30th.

Contrary to what the IRS says, it doesn't matter if you filed late or early, or what your last 2 #'s are.
bluevalentine
well mine finally updated today. $300. filed via turbo tax with my fees deducted. my SSN ends in 36 just like the person who posted a few above me. says it will be mailed june 6

mine was in the mail today finally
aggieastrosfan
My brother got his paper check on Saturday. Last 2 #s are 14. Filed with Tax Cut opting for a paper check mailed to him.

He didn't get the full $600, though, only about $375. My other brother, who made maybe $2k more than him, got a letter saying he would get the full $600 (not sure when, he's 12). I just told my mom that he could get the rest on his 2008 refund.

ETA - Neither of them had a tax liability of $600 for 2007??

Nothing here yet, except a letter saying I may owe Ed McMahon $10 million dollars! tongue.gif

Anyone with the last two between 52 and 57 waiting on paper checks? or still getting the error message?

Thanks
