Where's my stimulus payment (tax rebate)?

The IRS recently posted a new interactive worksheet on its Web site, "Where's My Stimulus Payment?" It's intended to help taxpayers determine the status of their stimulus payment: how much it is, when it should arrive, and how it will be delivered. You only need three pieces of information to use it: the Social Security number of the first person listed on the tax return, filing status (single, married filing jointly, etc.), and the number of exemptions claimed on the return.

You are welcome to try it, but don't be surprised if you end up frustrated. The IRS interactive indeed told how much my husband and I, who filed separately, would receive of the basic stimulus payment by this Friday. But didn't explain why we wouldn't get credit for our 14-year-old daughter, whom my husband claimed as a dependent.

Several colleagues and commenters on this blog tried the system and got the equivalent of no answer at all. One got the response, "We are sorry but we cannot tell you the status of your Stimulus payment." Another got, "We are sorry. Specific information about your Stimulus payment is not available."

In fact, it appears that "Where's My Stimulus Payment" is only useful when the payment is nearly in your hands. As it told one colleague, "Specific information about your Stimulus Payment will not be available until about one week before your payment is scheduled to be issued. " An IRS spokesman told me basically the same thing.

A lot of good that does.

In the mean time, check the IRS's rebate payment schedule, which may be able to tell you the week in which you can expect your rebate.

And if you received your rebate and disagree with the amount or don't understand why you got what you got, call the Refund Hotline at 1-866-234-2942 and wait for a human being. An IRS representative wasn't able to help me because I didn't have certain information at hand, but perhaps you'll be luckier.

i went into the site where is my Stimulus payment answered the three simple questions and got information right away.

[Randy Taylor]

We are getting the "I'm sorry we have no information....." message and our first thought is of course the worst, but we checked both our SSN's on the treasury offset number and there are no debts to either. We got our refund after they deducted a fee we owed back in March. At that time the "where's my refund" site said there was a problem. My wife is ACH director at the CU so she these these things come in. When I call I am put on hold and after 20 minutes I just assume it'd futile. We are waiting til Friday to see if it just shows up. I am thinking the "where's my stimulus...." is just not that accurate due to volume. We'll see. If someone has gotten the no info message and then gotten the deposit I'd love to hear. I am assuming if you got a refund you should get your rebate.Thanks all.

[Jennifer]

I'm getting "no information" as well. I have met all the criteria, did direct deposit on my refund, and am scheduled to receive payment tomorrow. But I am not hopeful since it still says "no info".

[Heather]

I got the same thing as Jennifer..."no Info"....i put in both me and my husbands ssn's and put exeptions. I did my taxes 3 monthes ago and we did direct deposit also. I am supposed to get mine tomorrow also...we'll see.....we did owe on our federal, which we paid when we filed our taxes. We used a credit card to pay it, and it wasnt taken out of our state refund. I wonder if that makes a difference? If I get it tomorrow, I will leave a blog....

[Patty]

I filed in January, like a good girl, and received my ACH refund in February - my bank information has not changed. I owe nothing to anyone, no fees, nothing. Last week, I went on the IRS website to use their little calculator, and it confirmed I would received my $600 payment by May 9 - that is today. This morning I went back on the website to use their little calculator again and I get a "sorry, we have no information, check back a week before you are due your stimulus payment" message (something like that), and then it provides reasons why they can't help me - none of which apply to me. I'm glad I found this website. I also found another, the link is provided: http://consumerist.com/5008105/wheres-my-stimulus-payment

It's really just a blog about the stim payment, with people rejoicing at their payment, at there lower-than-expected payment, and wondering why they can't use the tool, where their payment is, what they found out from the IRS, etc.

I remember the last stim payment we received some years ago, it was unexpected, no one really researched it, and everyone got their expected payments. This time it seems like it's becoming a mess. We shall see. Any money is better than no money, but the IRS should be consistent with the information they are providing the tax payers.

[Joni]

I'm getting "no information" also. I have met all the criteria too, my husband and I were really depending on our rebate check being in our account today, but it is not and it was supposed to be according to the schedule, this is soo frustrating. My neighbor also hasn't received there rebate and they were supposed to have theirs by May 2, what is going on?

[Deb]

NO DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR MOST USING COMMERCIAL TAX PREPARERS - Jackson Hewitt, HR Block or other commercial companies for this reason:

Unbeknownst to us - when you chose to have the tax prep fees taken out of your "directly deposited" refund YOU WILL GET PAPER CHECK adding another month to the wait - because your return was not deposited into your account by the IRS. It has gone through the company's banking system and then deposited by them.

If you have not received your stimulus deposit - you may have inadvertently "chosen" an RAC or RAL.

Just an FYI:
A "refund anticipation check" (RAC) is the non-loan bank product that many commercial tax preparers and their bank partners offer in addition to refund anticipation loans (RALs). They are sometimes called "refund transfers" or "accelerated check refunds."
RACs are also commonly provided to taxpayers who do not have the up-front cash to pay for tax preparation. In these cases, the preparer deducts the tax preparation fee from the consumer’s refund when it hits the dummy account, prior to cutting the RAC check to the consumer.
Tax preparers and their bank partners have sold a significant number of RACs. In 2002, about 1.75 million H&R Block customers were sold this product. The main bank partner for Jackson Hewitt, Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, sold approximately 3 million RACs in 2003 and has stated that RACs are actually their most popular tax refund product.

[Randy]

Our message is "we are sorry we cannot tell you the stautus..." rather than the "no info is available". It gives us a number with an extension and a reference number. Are we being called to the principles office for being bad? We got a refund in Feb. after they deducted an amount we owed from a previous tax year, so we should be ok.

There is no way to get thru to the IRS via phine right now except to check the offset line and we have none showing. My wife is in a CU ACH department as I said and she got files in from the IRS today showing some for deposit for today and somefor Monday and Tuesday. Some showing "no info.." on the "Where's my..." got theirs today but I have not heard of anyone getting the Sorry we can't tell you getting theirs. Has anyone seen this message or have any information?? please let me know.

I can tell you that if you are scheduled for the 9th it May be in to post next week, and the order for SSN is not following the IRS scheduleexactly some low, lesss than 20, numbers are posting today. Any information is appreciated. Good luck.

[donna]

I owe nothing, got a check direct deposited in my bank in February -- happy days!! Now, my 44 ends with payment today and I got nothing! ZERO so i try the web site "no information" and i have tried to call the IRS to see what the deal is and it goes round and round with answering services enter this, dial that is there anyone LIVE you can speak to to find out what the deal is? Like, am I getting money or not? ANd if you filed Turbo Tax does that make a difference??? I would rather be stimulating my wallet than fighting the phone lines to find out where it is??? LOL

[Carolyn]

Donna - Turbo Tax clients will get a check mailed to them... It's called a RAL.. meaning you had fees taken out when you had your taxes done - and the money went to Santa Barbara bank and then into your account, therefore the IRS doesn't have your routing #, checking #'s, etc., and Santa Barbara Bank closes you out once you get your normal tax refund.. I called last Saturday and spoke to a real person at the IRS - as mine was due last Week.. so now I wait two more weeks for it to be mailed. Hope this helps!!!

[Heather]

This is Heather...again. We were supposed to get our $ today...and as of 2pm on fri, we havent. We used Tax cuts, through H&R block. We had to pay our fee for doing our taxes by credit card, so they have our direct bank info...and nothing yet. It is frustrating, cause I'd like to have the cash now, but I guess it will be a suprise when I get it. We are supposed to have it today...fri May 9th. I will post once we get it. We did get the first thing in the mail explaining about what the tax stimulous was for, but we never got the second mailing telling us the exact amount. It looks like everyone is saying you get that a week before you get the actual $$$.Good luck....happy spending once you get it!!

[stephanie]

Ok I was supposed to recieve my so called rebate on May 2nd its now May 10th and I have yet to see anything. The IRS website is giving me that "no info aval. at this time" or something. I don't owe anyone money. I did do my taxes through HR Block online but it was free, I did not pay for them to do my taxes I did it myself. What's the deal??? Where's my money???

[Angela]

Irs.gov told us that we were getting on the 9th. Its Saturday now and nothing. We also got a letter in the mail saying it was going to be the 9th and how much. People in our family who's social security numbers are way higher than ours have recieved thiers so I have not idea. Irs.gov says not to call until june 9th. Anyone else have is one irs.gov and got a letter and did not recieve it?

[Jessica]

Hello,I as well have not received the payment yet. But I am understanding that if you paid any fees that it will be a paper check... But I actually filed mine on the IRS website this year. I did not owe anything to the govt but the small processing fee to file them... Does that still mean no DD? Just wondering any help would be wonderful. Thanks!

[tasha daniels]

I filed my tax return and had it direct deposited but now i dont have that bank account any more. what are they going to do now about my money? will they just mail me a check?

[Brandi]

Im sick of not knowing but then again we should not depend on the gov. to be honest!!!! we did H&R with direct deposit but there was no fees to pay because it was thru friends and family I guess they get 5 free friends and family so we were not charged anything for our taxes to be done. but we still have not recieved our stim $$$$ ??? Gosh forbid the IRS give it to the people who really need it now!!!! not later!!!! ours latst ss# is 14 it says may 2nd...yea right!!!! no wonder we are in a jam with our economy if they cant even get the stimulas $$$ right what makes us think they can run evreything else right?????

[patricia]

I was suppose to get a deposit on may 9 or so I thought but I went On to the irs web site I am getting a check mailed to 6/6 even though I did direct deposit I had fees taken out of my tax return which was done through turbo tax. Therefore I will be getting a check so If you haven't got your rebate don't worry you will probably get a paper check.

[Kevin]

Last 4 digits of my SSN are 02...

Received both my state and federal refunds, direct deposit.

Not one cent of my stimulus.

Does the federal government really have to wonder why people don't trust them to do their jobs the way they say they're going to?

[Crystal]

The "Where's my stimulus?" tool hasn't offered me any information either and my stimulus payment was scheduled for direct deposit on May 2nd. But I also filed with Turbo Tax, so if what Carolyn says is true, then that explains why i haven't gotten it yet. I sure wish i would've know that before! Thanks for the info Carolyn!

[Joe]

With an 02 number and direct deposit tax return,I somehow received a check in the mail Saturday.
Checks aren't supposed to go out till 5/16.
Go figure!

[mark]

For those expecting a direct deposit of stimulus payment this week (by 5/16/08), based upon your ssn ending 76-99, I may have some updated info. Many have found the rebate tool peculiar, including me. I filed my 2007 return on April 15 via H&R Block Free File. I received my refund via direct dep. about 3 weeks ago. As of about 2 hrs. ago (830 am EDT on May 12) the payment tool had no data for me. As of just moments ago, its shows me due to rec. deposit on 5/16 for $300, which would be correct.

It would appear that for those sched. 5/16, the irs systems are just now updating, so check in today or later and it may work for you.

[Keysha]

I was scheduled to receive my Stimulus rebate 5/9 and I did but the issue I am having is that I have two kids and just like many others I know I only got $300 for myself and nothing for my children and when i spoke to the IRS they told me they didnt know why i didnt receive the child tax credit but I would recieve a letter with the break down, I just received the letter and it doesnt show any info on why I didnt get the credit...The only problem I have is that we are being misled and that is very unfair!!!

[Cassie]

I too had an issue when using the "wheres my stimulus payment" tool. Id tried it over and over again last week and to no avail did i receive any information other then sorry they had no info or maybe i miss entered information. I checked it early this morning and still nothing, I checked back around 9 am and it said due in my account on may 16th, well something told me to check it again and now its back to no info. We tried my husbands as well and it also first showed a deposit date of the 16th, so we waited a half hour and looked up his again and then his was back to no info. So i dont know if this indicates a problem or the system is just glitching, and of course no one is of any help because the due by date has not passed yet. anyone else have this happen?????

[Shawn]

I was suppost to receive the rebate on Fri. the 9th and have yet to get it. Also did direct dep. with no problems, in Feb 2008, and owe nothing to anyone. I never did receive the 2nd letter, just the 1st one. What gives? Everyone is talking about receiveing without any complications. Please someone enlighten me.

[JoAnn]

I also did my taxes with H&R Block and put it on my emerald card. I was shopping for a new apartment and it seemed easier. I have the last digits of 02, so does it say when I am to get my check? Do I have to type in my information or just look at the scheduled check dates?

[Ryanne Hoel]

I was wondering why I never got my rebate even though I filed my taxes and got my return in feb and I did direct deposit and I was suppose to have my rebate on friday the 9th but I never got it. Does it take 2 weeks to possible get that rebate??

[maureen]

My ssn ends with 78. The stimulus tool shows they have no information about my rebate although I filed early with direct deposit. I should receive the rebate by Friday. Does the government do anything right?

[Brandy]

I paid my taxes using EFT to the IRS in April. My SSN ends in 43. Will I receive a paper check or Direct Deposit? I haven't received anything yet.

[maureen]

I posted yesterday about the stimulus tool not showing a payment had been scheduled. This morning, I found it has been scheduled for 5/16. The tool posts much closer to the payment date than the IRS states. It is less than a week.

If the payment does not show up, I will report here.

[BRENDA]

MY FRIEND WENT THRU TURBO TAX AND GOT HER DIRECT DEPOSIT THRU SANTA BARBRA..SAME AS ME.SHE GOT HER MONEY DIRECT DEPOSITED ON THE DATE THE IRS POSTED. I FILED MY TAXES BEFORE HER AND GOT MY REFUND BEFORE HER TOO AND I STILL HAVE NOTHING. WHAT'S THE DEAl? I FEEL LIKE THE IRS SHOULDN'T POST INFORMATION IF THEY CAN'T STICK TO IT...YEAH RIGHT, LIKE THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN!

[diana]

we were supposed to get ours on the 9th. Still nothing. We filed on line at taxact.com will we still get a direct deposit like our refund was????

[BRENDA]

I just found out thru Santa Barbra that they did not receive the stimulus payments from the IRS and that the refunds would be sent via mail. This really bites because the IRS should tell eveyone that if this was the case, then you would receive via regular mail instead of us waiting around like idiots. The thing is, my co-worker says she used Turbo Tax and that Santa Barbra also sent her 2007 refund. She's already received her stimulus rebate. Go figure!

[Brenda]

I got an e-mail from Santa Barbra Bank who sent me my 07 IRS refund via Turbo Tax. They told me that the IRS wasn't using them for the stimulus rebates. She told me that I would be getting my refund via regular mail. My co worker used Turbo Tax as well and Santa Barbra Bank issued her 07 refund as well. I am so irritated that although we used the same site, she was able to obtain her refund on the date that was issued by the IRS and I wasn't and I think a number of people as well are suffering the same problems.

[Robin]

I filed taxes the first week of Feb. and got our refund direct deposited into our account. No fees were taken out etc but the tax people. By the chart online our rebate check should be direct deposited by May 16, but my status says, they will issue a check on May 23. Why would they issue me a check, when they HAVE my direct deposit info and have refunded my money that way?
So confused. May 23 does not follow any chart they have out there based on either of our social security numbers.

[TONYA]

I NEED A LITTLE HELP, I QUALIFY FOR THE STIMULUS PAYMENT SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE I HAVENT RECEIVED IT YET. I WENT THROUGH H&R BLOCK, I DIDNT USE A RAC OR RAL I WAITED AND HAD MY MONEY DEPOSITED BY THE IRS DIRECTLY INTO MY BANK ACCOUNT, I WAS TO RECEIVE MONEY ON MAY 9TH AND STILL NO STIMULUS.WHEN I GO TO THE IRS WEBSITE IT TELLS ME THAT IT HAS NO SPECIFIC INFORMATION REGARDING MY PAYMENT AT THIS TIME. DOES ANYONE THINK THAT MAYBE I WILL GET A PAPER CHECK? I ALSO NEVER RECEIVED THE SECOND LETTER THAT EVERYONE IS WRITING ABOUT EITHER.

[nadia]

Based on their scheduled, for doing direct deposit and filing on February 1rst.. and the last two numbers of my SSN, I should have received my rebate by no later than May 9th. The tool tells me it cannot tell me any information and I still have not received it.

[angie in mansfield]

I too have not recieved my stimulus deposit. I filed with H&R Block and had my refund direct deposited back in February. As far as I know I qualify and it should be deposited in the same manner as my refund got deposited. I din't owe any tax in 2007 and there shouldn't be any reason I didn't get my rebate. My last 2 numbers are 27. Has anybody had theirs deposited later than the 9th that were due on the 9th? I hope they are just overwhelmed with the amount of money being sent out and it's just taking longer than anticipated.

[Coco]

I checked my status Monday and told me that I should have my rebate by May 16th my last two digits of my SSN# is 76 and it is for $1,200 two childern I will be patient but I will not get excited until it shows up and it also stated to give it up to 21st of May if it is not in the bank then; then to give them a call when ever it get to me I will use it well pay some bills and spend a little bit. They should have given us the same amount of what are regular return was that would stimulate the people to spend more but hey can't complain:)

[angie in mansfield]

My daughter's SS ends in 79 and she got her direct deposit tonite using the same bank that I do. Her's wasn't due till next week and mine was the 9th and still nothing. At least she got something...it was 300 less than expected because she is a single mom. So maybe my waiting for a paper check is better anyway. This is all screwy in my opinion.

[PAMELA26]

my last two r 85...when i call the hotline they tell me that i will receive mine by mail on the 23rd of may,which suppose to be in my account on the 16th of may.... i received my refund direct depo and i'm wondering why am receiving a check in the mail...and on top of that we are not receiving the amount we are suppose to receive...all this SUCKS

[Janet]

our money was suposed to be in the account on the 9th and here it is the 14 th where is it i thunk bush money was shrubed

[Coco]

This message is for Angie In Mansfield you stated that your daughter got her's last night in the bank what bank is that I'm with Bank of America and my last SSN is 76 and your daughter is just a little larger than mine just 4 digits off from mines hope to here back from you because I'm still waiting but they told me to give it up till May 21st.

[Brandon]

What else can you expect, 1st off it is taxpayer money they are giving back, if the government can do ANYTHING it is the ability to completly cloud and fog over any information it gives out. Please just remember this the next time you think the government should handle your healthcare! or the government is the answer... they are the problem.

[Mel]

We never got ours. My husband and I filed jointly and we were supposed to get our direct deposit on May 9th. We filed with tax turbo online and did our taxes ourselves, we owed no money. We did have the online turbo tax fee taken out of our refund...Is this why we have not received anything? We get the "Were sorry there is no information" when we try to get info from IRS.

[Sarah]

We did not get a refund from the IRS, we owed. We paid by EFT from our checking account on 4/14. My husband's soc says we should have received our payment on 5/9. Because we owed taxes and did not get a refund, does anyone know if that makes us get a paper check instead? We get the no info available on the website and our accountant has not been able to get any info for us, either. Any insight appreciated....

[Tobie Stanger (Consumer Reports)]

Sarah,

The IRS says that in order for people who owed taxes to get direct deposit, they would have had to fill out the direct-deposit portion of their tax forms. I doubt many people who owed thought to do that, so most will get their money in the mail. Arranging for EFT of the money owed apparently isn't the same as arranging for direct deposit. So expect a mailed check.

[Jim]

I was supposed to receive my stimulus payment on the 9th, checked the IRS website and they say they deposited the money into my account on the 2nd, and yet I still haven't received anything yet.

[Pat C]

My son and I were both supposed to receive our rebates direct deposit on the 9th. Neither of us got them. (what a shock as like everyone it was counted on) I used the calculator on the irs web site and it said my rebate should be 1018 but again like everyone NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE! GOD BLESS THE GOVERNMENT FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK! (you might think people were counting on you to send them MUCH NEEDED MONEY)
So where is my refund? I can't seem to find out. As far as calling and talking to a real person? YEA RIGHT! like that's going to happen.. I spen 2 hours on hold before i gave up.
PS I USED TAX ACT AS WELL WITH DIRECT DEPOSIT RECD MY FED REFUND early FEB! so what's the problem?

[Andrea]

I too have been having issues with the Tool Calculater on the IRS website. For the past 3 weeks I've been checking to see when ours would be scheduled to be deposited and always got the "no info. available" message. This week, I got this message:

"We are sorry but we cannot tell you the status of your Stimulus payment.
Please mention reference number 1646 to the IRS Customer Service Representative."

So I called today and after sitting on hold for 20 minutes actually got to speak to someone. She said that the 1646 reference number means she needs to do a case analysis. She asked for all the information like name, SSN, birthdates of us both, our addy and phone #, and then asked me to hold for 4 or 5 minutes while she researches.

She got back on the phone and said, "Apparantly you owed taxes from the 2006 year", to which I broke in and said, "Which we paid IMMEDIATELY back on March 21st, the minute we got the notification that those taxes were owed" (there was an error in our 2006 tax preparation).

She said, "Yes, I see that right here. Apparantly, while our system DID accept your payment, it for some reason didn't allow it to be posted correctly to your account. So when we processed your stimulus payment, it actually debited the amount of $$ that you owed from your stimulus payment".

Isn't that FANTASTIC????? Not only did I pay the amount owed for our 2006 taxes that we owed, but they ALSO took my stimulus payment.

And now the kicker... it will take them about 6 to 8 weeks to process and correct their mistake... and THEN I will be mailed out a check. NICE OF THEM!!!!

[Carolyn]

Has Anyone received a paper check yet? My dad's last 2 digits of his SS# are 10; but no sign of a check yet and the IRS 'Where's my Stimulus?' site gives 'Sorry, no info...' blah blah blah!

[Keith]

I filed my taxes and owed $4 to the IRS. I paid this amount with a check in March. I used turbotax to file, but did not have any loans or anything. After speaking to the IRS, they tell me that my return was not processed until 4/28. They also told me that it was not set up as a Direct Deposit, even though I put that information on my tax return. So much for DD, I will be looking for that money in July I guess.

[Lisa]

Hi, I live off of survivors benefits (Social Security) for myself and my two children and did not have to file ( a normal tax return ) ... I received in the mail a 1040A, which I filled out in order to get the stimulus payment. Included with this form was paperwork explaining that I could still get the stimulus even though I didn't normally have to file. The last two # of my SS are 76 but I'm getting the "no specific info" on the website. Is there anyone out there who is also on SS and filed this way - I'd like to know if you've received anything. Supposedly I'm getting 900.00 but I have no info as of yet.

[Kellie]

Well now I am wondering what is going on!! My fiancee and I both filed with TurboTax (individually of course) and did direct deposit. His SSN ends in 52 and got his rebate directly deposited into our account last Tuesday (the 6th). My SSN ends in 98 and it says that I should get mine by the 16th. So as far as the turbo tax statement about getting a paper check in the mail is confusing because like I said, we both used it and he already received his via direct deposit, so mine should be distributed the same way. Ill just have to wait and see I guess but just wanted to share our turbotax/stimulus check experience.

[Jessica]

I just came across this thread which is good because i was flipping out last night as to why i was supposed to get my rebate direct deposit by may 9 (26) no later than and it is the 16th and i still have nothing. I went over all my tax papers, went on the site and they keep saying "Sorry, we have no specific information at this time" which frustrates me because if you dont have information, dont tell me on the payment schedule i was supposed to get my money no later than the end of the business day May 9. I even tried calling and no live person comes to the phone it is just automated and i still get the same message as on the site. I was counting on this money to be here and i have been let down. I understand it is free money but dont put out all this information on when payment is coming and not follow through. But, at least i see i am not the only one who did not get the may 9th deposit. Also, i live in jersey and last night on channel 2 news at 11 there was a report segment about "Still have not recevived your rebate?" and it was about how thousands of people are still waiting for rebates and it turns out a lot of the rebates are being deposited in wrong bank accounts. I wish i stayed up to see the rest but if that's the case, somebody better let me know how our government plans on fixing that huge mess.

[MARC]

So the last two of my social are 05, I sent my taxes in on February and set up direct deposit. They announced they would start a week early and suprise nothing, then I used the date matrix on the website and suprise nothing. Now I am going from the date on the letter i received in the mail and the website for the tool to check your rebate status and again, no direct deposit. Also everything says we have to wait 6 weeks before contacting the irs, they might as well say, don't bother if you don't get one we aren't going to send you one. I love the fact that I have to pay in so much every year and I get nothing back, and when they say they are actually going to help, they can't seem to get that done either...

[Coco]

Check My Bank to day Bank of America and My Rebate was their 6:00am Ca time just like they said it would be their all $1,200 of it looks like it will be a great weekend after all SSN# 76 paid some bills saved a little and will play with the rest:)Hope everyone that should get one today gets theirs.

[Kelly Morris]

Was supposed to receive stimulus payemnt May 9th - still not there. We me all the correct criteria and had direct deposit for our refund. Very frustrating trying to find out anything.

[DEBORAH]

I was supposed to get this 5/9. IRS auto info says it has been processed. Still dont have it! Urrrgh.

[Steve]

I checked the fed site last night and it said the deposit was set for today(Friday the 16th) and checked my account this morning and it has been deposited. I'd seen a schedule a couple of weeks ago which said we'd get it the 9th. Glad to finally have it.

[DEBORAH]

Mark,

Tell it like it is! That's right. If the consumer makes one mistake, the IRS slams the hammer on us. Now, all of a sudden they doin' us a big favor--and I guess since it is a favor, we just have to sit back and wait to get this stimulus $$. They can't even stick to their own schedule. Mmmph.

[Nina]

This is so stupid. Why couldn't they just give everyone the stimulus money on the same date. The fact that you have to wait the entire summer before you get any help from the so called gov is rediculous. This money would be helpful now. I'm po'd.
