I have not received my rebate yet. I filed my taxes myself, electronically, using TaxCut in mid February. I file my daughters in the same manner, at the same time, and she also has not received her rebate.

I filed right on the deadline, April 15th and used TurboTax and still have not received our rebate. I saw something online that said it works by the last 4 digits of your social security number but the formula that was posted indicated I should have received it on May 12th. But so far, nothing...

I'm very disspointed with the electronic filing system. I file my return with the H&R Block way a head before the deadline.I pay off ALL my behind Bills with my payroll check leaving my rent for my rebate check.I didn't borther to find out more about detail with the filing system 'til the day I didnt get my rebate in my account. I think it doesn't matter how we file electronic. Now I have to browwer money from my friends.

Hi I Filled In February and choose direct depoist and my last 2 numbers are 21 and nothing yet I in same boat browwering money. But I was told sence my husbany owns back child support they may take it out of that so I not looking for one know. So I say I belive it when i see it Thanks.

I still havent received my stimulus. i filed myself in mid Feb. and used h&r block tax cut online. I got direct deposit and my last 2 s.s digits are 44. and nothing yet. this sucks!!

I DID receive the normal rebate, I have NOT received the extra government issued one yet. I hope it comes soon. I used an accountant to file.

My husband and I filed jointly through turbo tax in February. Together we make over $80,000/year, have one dependent child and our return was $286 for both of us. Never using turbo tax again. We have received our tax refund but no stimulus yet.

My taxes were done through my accountant. I received my normal tax return in early March via direct deposit. I also received my stimulus rebate on May 5th. It was nice since this was the first year I got to claim my infant daughter!!! We file jointly every year under my husband's SSN, which ends in 58.

Hope you all get your checks soon!!!!!!!!

Not me :(

Got it direct deposit on 5/5

Have not received, Filed my taxes early myself, paper, Got my refund check quickly and Still don't have my rebate I should have been one of the first batches of mailed checks.

Nothing, nothing, nothing- nothing all day long, Nothing, nothing, nothing, how do you like my Nothing song...?

https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRServlet?app=IRACTC

Nope, Nada. Filed on April 10th. I checked on the IRS.gov website (you can fill in the info and find out when they sent your stimulous check) but "We are sorry. Specific information about your Stimulus Payment is not available. "

Filed in March. Last numbers 33. Very disappointed in the stimulus check not being sent

I had filed back in February, and had chosen Direct Deposit. In fact, my refund was processed in less than a week! Surprise, surprise! According to the schedule sent by the IRS, and published by you and countless other news outlets, my rebate should have been in the first wave of deposits; in fact, when the IRS announced they were sending them out even earlier than announced, I started looking for the money on May 5. To date, I have received nothing (as of 5/15). Then I read a story that said that if you filed through a 3rd party (such as Turbo Tax), and had the fee deducted from your refund (which I did), then the IRS couldn't figure out how (my interpretation, not factually reported in the story) to direct deposit the rebate checks, so a paper check would have to be cut. It appears that I should be receiving that check in the first wave of paper checks, which I think is next Friday (5/23). I will be on vacation, and of course, I had been counting on that money to use during my vacation. Never trust the government to give you a straight answer. Is this a great country, or what? Anyhow, I'm no longer holding my breath waiting to receive my 'gift' from the omnipotent IRS (The IRS giveth and the IRS taketh away). I'll believe it when I see it. I guess the motto should be, plan for it, but don't plan ON it.

I completed my return in early February using Turbo Tax and got my refund within 2 weeks but not my rebate yet. It was due on May 9. I tried the 800 number but I can't wait on-hold for an hour or more.

My husband and I did not get our stimulous check, even though I had my refund direct deposited. I was told by the IRS this was because I used H&R block and when the refund came it was deposited into their account, then from there into my account. The Govt would not deposit my rebate check into their account obviously, but as that is all the info H%R block gave them, they have to send me a check - which will not go out until the end of June.
I had been planning to use the $ for my daughters Birthday, and to fix my truck - I now have no transportation, and no money for her birthday - try explaining this to an 8 yr old. :(

yes got money by the exact date Friday May 9th into my checking account. Filed electronically with Turbo Tax online, love them and got money exactly by the date I was supposed to. yes it goes by last 2 of ss#, mine is in the 60's.

No I have not received my check. was suppose to receive it on May 9th. Not a dime yet. I filed on line using turbo tax.

My wife and I have not gotten ours back yet. We use Turbo tax. I also do taxes on the same program for a few friends, none of whom has received their check yet either.

Used Turbo Tax with direct deposit and received rebate on 5/2 direct deposit. Last 2 digits 13

No Check. Filed through E-file and had to pay. Paid with electronic debit from my bank account. Don't know if I will get direct deposit or paper chack because I used 3rd party. Good thing I didn't make plans for that $$ :(

Nope, no refund yet (filed on paper back in the beginning of February and I don't expect it until the beginning of July). They sure did cash that check that I sent them quickly, though!

Files in February. No ETR check thus far. Used TurboTax direct deposit, had fee taken from refund, therefore anticipated a paper check. Received notification from IRS that we could expect it arriving by May 16. However today it states it was delivered on the 13th. Not to us!! I'm livid to put it nicely

I got my rebate direct deposited in my account on 5/9. It was for $5. Yes, $5!!! I can't even a sandwich with that; just a gallon of gas! Guess this so called rebate was just another repubican scam. I made about $80K last year, so guess that's "rich" now.

I filed on time with Turbo-tax. They had no problem sweeping the money out of my account on Tax day, but I never did get my rebate check (last two digits of SS are 67). I went on the turbo-tax website to find out that the IRS is sending paper checks to people who owed taxes and had it debited from their account. Of course, this info was never made available at the time of filing. Now I have to wait until the end of June or maybe July for the rebate check. Did this impact me, you bet! I had to pay upfront for camp for my kids and I was counting on that money. This was really mishandled by the IRS as far as I'm concerned.

I have not received my rebate check. The last two of my soical are 86. I filed electronically in the first week of February.

I filed with direct deposit and was supposed to get my stimulus money last friday. Still no sign of it. Seems like the last time they did this is showed up in paper form in the middle of the pay cycle.

I reeived my check last week. I filed thru my accountant with direct deposit. The only thing that I was wondering is why I did not recieve the extra money for my son whom I did claim on my taxes.

I think the lesson here is never, ever, under any circumstance, spend money before you have it in your hands.

I filed in mid March through H&R block with a bone dead basic return (I don't own a house, am single, and have no children and won't waste my time with obscure deductions), and am expecting mine at any time, as mine should have gone out with the first batch. It's probably waiting in my mailbox for me. I rec'd my 300$ back from over-paying the IRS already, that I received maybe a week and a half? after my return was filed.

filed in march.. had to pay this year, does that mean stimulus checks arrive in mail?

I consulted H&R Block first and found they only know how to enter numbers you give them and did nothing to help me reduce my suprising tax debt. So, I went back to Turbo Tax and tried to file electronically. My return was rejected because the IRS had a record of someone with my name and/or SSN already filing. The IRS told me to file a paper copy and report the incident. They cashed my $2k payment right away, but I have not seen my rebate deposit. I chose electronic deposit and I should have received my payment on May 9th. Who wants to bet that the IRS has some excuse for not paying me!

I filed myself before April 15. My last digets of SS is 22. Should have gotten it indirect depositon May 9th. It's the 15th and nothing. No person to talk to at IRS.

I filed online with TurboTax on 1/28/08. Partner filed same way but two weeks later. I received a notice for additional taxes due for 2006 and no rebate. Partner received rebate electronically on 4/28/08. I sent in the additional taxes due on 5/3. The check cleared and was debited from my account on 5/9 and that same day my account was credited for the rebate.

I filed with Turbo Tax and received my rebate via direct deposit for the estimated amount of $570 about May 5th.

I filed using Turbo Tax in February and got my refund direct deposit two weeks later. I got my stimulus check yesterday 5/14 for $1500 (married with one child).

I'm very pleased.

I was supposed to receive my stimulus payment electronically on the first day since my SS ends with 05. I just received a letter from the IRS yesterday that I will receive a check instead that will be mailed on 5/16.

Filed beginning of April with TaxCut using online filing with direct deposit and rebate showed up in account May 12.

I did the free electronic filing for my daughter and my mother and they've both received their rebates (direct deposit).

I filed mine through the mail and have not received anything yet.

I did my taxes through H&R block about 2 months ago and still nothing yet.

I see everyone is upset that they did not get their stimulus check. I consider it a godsend. money from heaven. when it gets here it gets here better late that never

You can easily find out where your check is by going to the irs.gov web site. Simply enter the last 4 digits of your social security number and they will give you updated information regarding the status of your check.

I filed my taxes on 1/25/2008 through H&R Block direct deposit to my account - which I received in a week maybe. My social security ends with 28 - and I have not received my stimulus rebate check as of yet. Makes me wonder if I'm on of those that had there monies go to another direct deposit incorrectly as I ready in the news today online. Hmmmm makes me wonder. Oh well , I will patiently wait to see what happens.

I filed a 1040EZ in the middle of February - last 2 digits are 93, my rebate was in my bank account this morning.

Yes, I got mine directly to my bank account, no problem. Right amt of money, everything. But I got the letter telling me it would be there by May 9th on the...wait for it...14th!

I have not received my tax check as of this date. I filed through Turbo Tax

I have not received my tax check as of this date. I filed through Turbo Tax

My husband & I have not recieved our refunds yet. We filed through H&R Block electronically.

Direct deposit arrived 5/5/08. I filed with Turbo Tax a few weeks into February. I received my tax return within 10 days.

I filed mine with Turbo Tax, and was supposed to receive my rebate on May 9. I did not. After calling the IRS and staying on hold for 45 minutes, I found out that anyone who filed electronically BUT CHOSE THE OPTION TO PAY THE FILING FEE OUT OF THE REFUND AMOUNT would NOT be getting an electronic deposit because selecting that option directed your original refund through a third-party bank, and the IRS WILL NOT send rebates to third parties. All of you out there like me will be getting paper checks later in the year as per the social security number associated with your account, and the IRS payment mailing schedule available on their website..

We filed in Jan using Turbo Tax and received refund in Feb (direct deposit), but have not received stimulus check as of yet. I think it is a bunch of bologne.

I have not received my rebate check yet. The IRS website says that it should have been deposited on May 9th, but nothing has gone through to my bank yet. I even called my bank to check, but nothing still. I e-filed for free through H&R Block (this was a link given by the IRS website) when I did my 2007 taxes and filed it a couple weeks before the April 15th deadline. My status was 'married filing separately' and my husband received his check already. Calling the IRS rebate hotline is a joke, so I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. I really am confused of my rebate whereabouts.

We got our measly $600 last friday thanks. It was instantly eaten up in bills. Kinda funny that FPL, Comcast and Bank/Credit companies all doubled the size of the bills, either by billing two months at once, applying various fees or by other means. I was only going to throw $300 into bills, and use the rest to finally buy a generator for hurricane season. Sigh.

Filed electronically in mid Feb. Prepared by AARP representative and have already recv'd the normal rebate, but no stimulus check, yet.

I don't get one... Wahhh!

I should have received the stimulus rebate as of May 9th. When filing for my taxes, the site indicated that I was eligible and how I wanted to receive the rebate, via Direct deposit or mail. Of which I selected direct deposit. I even call the telephone # to receive information based on my SS#. The automated system indicated that there was no information as of this day and time.

I filed electronically through H&R Block and have not recieved any rebate money as of yet. Although, that is probably a good thing. This is not free money people, the IRS will take it back when you file your 2008 taxes. They did it on the last 'so-called' rebate check and I'm certain they will do it for this one.

Filed in Feb. using Turbo Tax direct deposit. I have gotten that refund, but no stimulus check as of yet. Last two digits of SSN 33 according to IRS should have been transmitted no later than 5/9. I'll keep waiting and checking the mail box, cause I can't afford to put gas in the car without it. Funny how I get to STIMULATE the economy by purchasing the product that is killing it in the first place GAS.

I used an accountant and he filed my tax return electronically in March. I received a direct deposit refund from the government for my tax filing but have not received the economic stimulus check yet.

I had my taxes prepared at the plantation office of the I.R.S. in late march.I needed help filing as it was the fisst time Iv'e had to file a self employed tax form. I paid my 1300.00 dollar tax bill and was to have my check direct deposited to my bank.I'm still waiting!

I filed my taxes electronically on time using Turbo Tax, and was supposed to get it by 5/9, but nothing yet. I heard that some people are receiving less than the $600 per person, and some of them get nothing for the children. This has been a mess.

No, I haven't. And I'm really confused. I used a tax preparer and we filed online and I was supposed to get my rebate direct deposited. My social security number falls within the 1st group that was supposed to receive the rebate 3 weeks ago. As of today, I have not seen it in my bank. I've also called their 1-800-number and only got a recording saying they couldn't tell me.

I'm a retired attorney and filed my taxes in mid-February by paper. I did not use any electronic assistance. I expect that I will have to contact my US Senator before this administration gets its head out of its rectal cavity. Republicans have been proving for seven years how bad government can be.

Yeah- I got it last friday but it went to pay debt. Unfortunately nothing was left to stimulate the economy.

I Prepared my taxes with Turbo Tax, I am single, Head of my house, and I have a child, who is my dependent. I do not own anything to the IRS and I only got $300.00.
THE IRS EXPLAINATION:
1) Reason why I did not get the other extra $300.00, because I do not have a child exemption.
2) Reason why did not get the $300.00 for my child, because she was not born after December 31st 1990.
I know people who are friend of mine, that got $600.00, and that person is
1) Single
2) No head of the house
3) No child whatsoever, which means not child exemption, no child credit.
4) And made the same amount of money than me.
In another word, I do not understand their criteria. I think this is a rip off.

Filed using Turbotax. Got rebate via direct deposit for correct amount(1800) around 5/09. I paid the Turbotax filing fee using a credit card.

First i wanna state that i wasted my time this tax year filing i got $60 from gov & 22 from state. I paid H&R Block a arm & leg to file it direct deposit may i add. I didn't get much of a refund cause my ex husband it was his year to claim our 4 year old & my fiancee claimed our now 5month old, so i got @%$@#!*ed!! So i should have gotten my by may 9 my last two soc is 49 & nothing, my mom & best friend have yet to recieve theirs & they are both suppose to be in the may 9th payment which has come & on. My fiancee did that h&r block direct credit card thing they have its his third year using the same direct card & he has to wait for a check by mail. This stimlus just seems so much like the lottery some people get it & alot don't. Manly the people who need it for fixing their cars, there kids birthdays, much needed trips, buying new clothes, putting some food on the table, fixing up their home & so many other things. It's just not fair, to work so hard for your money, & then think just once you are gonna get rewarded for it in a since & yet alot of people are being screwed out of it. If the government can't pay us when they say they are going to, then why is it okay for them to rob us blind every paycheck, but when they owe us money they take their sweet ass time. That's how i feel about that.

The sentinel did an article a little while back letting people know that if you did your taxes through a tax prep servivce and had their funds taken out from your return, you would get a paper check. The IRS website also explained how you would get your check. Too bad I didn't see either until it was too late because I too was waiting for a direct deposit. I have been laid off for 4 months. I will get my check by the end of June. I wish that would have been explained to people when they were using a tax prep service, then again people might have decided a different method for filing and they would have lost business.

My boyfriend filed his in Feb( with H & R block) he was supposed to get his stimulus check deposited to his account on may 9th he still hasn't gotten his and I filed the same way and mine is supposed to come in may 16th and I havn't seen it yet either . Then I read on the IRS website that if a person had them take the payment for their tax preparer out of their tax refund they will be getting a stimulus check by mail.
So that means my boyfriend wont be getting his until the end of June and I wont be getting mine until the end of July. That's a bunch of crap. We were counting on that money to have already came!!!!

I was suppose to receive the check the first week and have yet seen it.

On top of that, I apparently am not able to get the 300.00 per child credit. I feel that this is unfair. But then again we are talking about the government. Nothing they do makes sense. There is no formula to what they do. They are all over the place.

They want to make sure you payments are in on time or you are penalized, yet when money is to be returned they make all these mistakes and take forever to get it to you.

my social ends in 00. i got my check on tuesday ,invested it at the hard rock and turn it into 1750. THANK AND GOD BLESS YOU GEORGE BUSH. I HOPE YOUR BROTHER WILL FOLLOW IN YOU AND YOUR FATHERS FOOT STEPS. HE WILL HAVE MY VOTE

Ugh, haven't gotten mine either. Was suppose to recieve the money by the 9th, but checked my account and surprise...nada! I filed my taxes with a tax preperation place in LA and it was for direct deposit. This was done in February. Funnily enough, I STILL haven't even recieved my State taxes yet because for some odd, stupid reason, they were having trouble trying to verify my son's child care. Bloody hell...whats up with this government, huh??
So, as of now, I'm unemployed with 12 bucks in my account and no stimulus OR State refund check. Ahhh... how sweet it is to be screwed by the government. Thanks Bush Administration... you so totally rock... =0\

And why would we really believe anything that Bush says>????

We filed our tax return on April 12th using Turbo Tax and indicated for our stimulus check to be direct deposited. Based on the IRS's schedule, we should have received ours May 9th. We're still waiting. The Hotline is a joke. You can't talk to a real person and all the automated reply system could tell me was that no information on our stimulus payment was available.

The IRS sure wants their money on time (we authorized and they debited our checking account for what we owed on the 15th), but it's obvious that the same rules don't apply to them giving taxpayers their stimulus checks per the schedule they posted.

I haven't received my stimulus check either and according the the IRS website, it was supposed to have direct deposited May 9. I filed using Turbo Tax. I went on their website to find out about my stimulus status since the Hotline could not give me any info (worthless!). Anyway, below is what I found on Turbo Tax/Intuit's Q&A page:

"When I paid the taxes owed on my 2007 return, I had the IRS debit my checking account. Will the IRS also deposit my rebate there?
No. The IRS says filers who used direct debit will get their payments by paper check in the mail."

So I guess now I have to wait until June or July to receive my money!

Our "wonderful goverment" really loused this program up big time. Is it any wonder the American Public has no confidence in it. But ,then again, I shouldn't be surprised with an establishment that can spend more money than it brings in and pays thousands of dollars for a toilet seat!

No!!-Used Turbo Tax- Pls list further instructions on how to get it sooner...

It seems that for you to received $600.00 you have to pay it first in federal income tax. My taxes for 2007 federal was $650.00. My wife and I qualify for the stimulus check, but only received $650.00. We were looking for $1200.00.
Never once was it mention that the stimulus check was up to $600.00. Again
we get screw. You had to pay over $1200 in federal income tax in 2007
for you and spouse to received your $1200 stimulus check. If you don't have over $1200 in taxes, you get what you paid in taxes.

I filed Feb 1st with Turbo Tax direct deposit. I did get my refund direct deposit on May 2nd.

My wife and I filed our joint tax return online in mid-February with Turbo Tax. We have two young children. According to IRS (and the last two digits of my social security number), I am supposed to receive an $1800 rebate no later than the close of business today, Friday, May 16.

I have received BUBKES.

Bubkes?
How about bucks?
Let's hope the IRS gets this straightened out.

Yep, I got mine on the exact date it was due, but it was for only $300 when I was expecting $600.

However, everyone should just be patient and accept what they get - this is "free" money.

I was one of the first ones to do my taxes ..wayyy before the deadline..and I was suppose to get my rebate on may9th ..and I have still not recieved anything and everytime I go to that website www.irs.gov I keep getting the same message that theres no info available.

I filed by returns at the beginning of April using turbo tax. (direct deposit) I still have not recieved my government rebate check. Because of this "glitch" I am unable to use that money to get caught up on bills in this struggling economy.

I filed our return in January, via Turbo Tax and rec'd my refund via Direct Dep. I recently got a letter from the IRS stating instead of our 1200.00 we were only getting 600.00 and it would be by paper check via the US mail. Very frustrating.....

Ridiculous the people complaining. The govt. is giving out free money--use some patience.... If you planned to pay bills with it and don't have it yet then you have no one to blame but yourself. Your bills should be paid by your normal paycheck. This is EXTRA money, not to replace what you should pay yourself.

And yes, I filed electronically with HRBlock, direct deposit, got the stimulus rebate on the exact date that the IRS said I would.

And people posting here, don't tell everybody what the last two numbers of your social security are!!!!!

Not only did I get mine on the promised date, so did my son. For us, it's been no problem at all. We mailed in our taxes but had them direct deposited.

Good'ol Common Sense would tell you that you can't get a tax rebate on what you didn't pay in. My Dad, paper filed, only got $300 because that was his total tax liab. last year. He was expecting more for some unknown reason.

We e-filed through turbo tax on 4/1, got our refund direct deposited 3 days later, and got our rebate (last 2 is 68) May 9th.

My friend paper filed 4/7 with direct deposit refund, and she got her rebate (last 2 is 86) today.

I used Turbo Tax and received my rebate, auto deposit, in my account on 5/9/08. As already posted, if you paid for your tax services using your initial tax refund, It goes thru a second party, wich slow's down your payment. I paid for my electronic filing with a credit card.

I used Turbo Tax and had direct deposit and I received my check of 600.00.

We filed our tax return in early February, but because legislation had not passed on the Hope or Lifetime credit for students, we were told to mail our returns February 10th. We used Turbo Tax online and because of additional paperwork that needed to be sent in, we didn't file electronically, but signed and mailed in the return. We received our refund by direct deposit within a few weeks. On our joint return my SSN came first, which is in the last direct deposit batch and this morning we checked our account and our rebate was received.

I wonder if anyone received their refund check as early as April 30th, which the President promised was going to happen in order to ease the pressure of rising food costs and gas prices. Everyone I spoke to received their rebates on the original dates that IRS set.

I hope all discrepancies will be sorted out and we'll all get what was promised to us. Have a great weekend.

We got ours 5/9. We had filed our taxes by mailing a hard copy sometime in mid to late March with our refund check deposited automatically about 10 days later.

I have not received my check yet. I received the notice that says I should get it by 5/16/08 so I hope it is in today. However, some sites say that it will be mailed out on may 16 and wait 3 to 5 days, some say that it was mailed out on may 9. Very confusing, next time I will not spend money that is not in my hands.

Used TurboTax w/ direct deposit. Could not e-file, mailed returns April 14th. Received rebate today May 16th.

Have used TurboTax for many years, always works well, if you input properly and follow the instructions.
Apparently, your readers are illiterate like many Floridians, and probably drive like idiots like so many that I observe on I95 and local streets talking on their cell phones at 80 mph.
I got my direct deposit refund 3 weeks after filing and rebate last week.

I used my accountant and filed my taxes in Mid-March using Efile and using direct deposit for refund. I got my tax refund in 3 weeks and I got my stimulus ck via direct deposit on 5/2. Easy as pie!!!

We have not recevied our rebate as of this date and we should have received it last week. However to add insult to injury, the account to which our tax refund went has been closed (due to fraud) and we have changed banks. I have no way to let the IRS know this so they can not change their records. I believe this means we will eventually get a paper check. . .it is earmarked for plane tickets to NY for a family reunion. I hope I get it in time.

I FILED MY TAXES IN FEB TURBO TAX AND DID ELECTRONICALLY....I RECEIVED MY STIMULAS REBATE IN MY ACCT MAY 9, LAST 2 DIGITS ARE 59. I GOT MINE RIGHT ON TIME NO PROBLEM AND ITS STILL SITTING IN ACCT.

Filed in February using TurboTax. I should have received my stimulus check by May 9 through direct deposit, but I have not.
There seems to be NO way to get a live IRS person on the phone.

Yes, got mine right on time, May 5th

Filed with a CPA electronically in February. Received rebate and stimulus payment on dates posted in my account, but stimulus payment was $600 for a joint filing. Not everyone is getting what the news reported- use the IRS calculator to see for sure.

I received my check last Friday...direct deposit. Only ONE MAJOR PROBLEM...my check is short by $600 for my 2 eligible children. IRS claims they were no children on my return. Wrong...I have 3 children and 2 that meet the requirements. GOOD LUCK getting through to the IRS. All you get is a recording...cannot speak to anyone. So until someone contacts me from IRS....i'm screwed.

Yep I got mine and I am not stimulating morans economy I am stimulating my savings account!

Got my check as promised on time. SS ends 2828

We filed our taxes online via Turbo-tax. We got our direct deposit on Apr 28th. I was really surprised!

We received ours the day we were supposed too..May 9th. Thanks IRS!

My taxes were filed electronically by my accountant in February. My SS# ends is 73 and $600 was direct deposited (in my savings account!) the beginning of May.

I filed my return by mail on 4/14/08 and requested my refund by direct deposit, which I received. I also received my rebate by direct deposit on 5/13/08, one day after the scheduled date. I guess I'm lucky!

I filed my taxes online with Tax Act Feb 1 and had my refund Feb 15. I got my stimulus rebate today, a week later than expected.

I filed on the last day of the filing deadline on April 15th using H&R Block online filing. (Very user friendly and cheap). I got my stimulus check through direct deposit three days in advance of my due date, beating out my sister who used the same method and filed way earlier than me in February. What a great country!

I filed in feb and used turbo tax my partner did the same we HAVE NOT recived our rebate and like most americans made plans for it.Just another diapointment by the U.S GOVERMENT...

I filed my taxes thru the irs website. I do owe a small amount to federal, but it's only half of the supposed rebate amount. My last two digits of my ssn are 02, so mine should have been mailed to me 2 weeks ago, but nothing. I keep checking the irs website for the status of my rebate and it just tells me that it has no info at this time, but none of the reasons for this that are listed apply to me. I really need that money because I am unemployed and my unemployment is about to run out.

I filed my taxes the old fashion way, by mail, except I entered my account number for direct deposit...just like I was supposed to get it....my stimulus was in my account when I woke up this morning.

I filed the end of january and recieved my income tax check the second week of february. I recieved a letter telling me my rebate check was deposited into my account on May 9th but I had to close the account my taxes where direct deposited into due to theft.So there was no account to direct deposit my rebate into. IRS says its in the bank. the bank says its not..so I'm in limbo waiting..I was to told to call weekly due to the fact that they update weekly.

I got my economic stimulus rebate the last Friday in April. From what I am reading this thing is really fouled up. So much for the big talk from our wonderful politicians.

Got my $600 by direct deposit on May 03 just like they said I would. Did not use Turbo Tax, but did file electronically in early January. (Had my refund around Jan 22nd)

I filled using Turbotax back in February and received my "rebate" directed deposited on the 9th as promised.

My wife and I both work and received W2's (no children). I used Turbo Tax and submitted our return online on April 14th (Married Filing Jointly). It was confirmed received and accepted by the IRS two days later. We had a refund of about $787 and opted for direct deposit. It was deposited into our account about nine days after the return was accepted, and the $1200 rebate was deposited one week ago (Friday May 9th). It seems like the IRS is working much faster when everything is done electronically. ~Michael

Filed taxes using TurboTax. Have not received incentive check yet, was due today. Isn't the government great.

PS: Took the money i owned on the 15th without a problem.

received direct deposit today,but only received $300.00 not the $600.00 that was promised.Yes, I made over $30,000.00 so I was entitled to the $600.00
No answer at the IRS number.

I filed my taxes prepared with Turbo Tax prior to 4/15 and had the taxes due along with the estimated taxes w/d from my checking account on 4/14. The IRS had no problem taking the money out of my account. Since my SS# ends w/14,I thought I would receive my stimulus check by direct deposit (since they had my checking account number) on May 9th. When I did not receive it after a week, I went to the IRS stimulus site and was informed that it would be mailed 5/23 for 270.72. My AGI was less than 75,000 thus I believe it should be 600. I tried several numbers listed on the sites I visited and the phone numbers listed only gave VM messages. One of them suggested I go to the local IRS office. (It is about 40 miles away and with the price of gas, I do not think so!). I will try the number listed in the Sun Sentinel next week and hope that I can speak to a real person without holding for a long period of time as was mentioned in the blog.

I filed in mid-February. According to my accountant I should have received a direct deposit. This, according to the tax department, would have been 5/16, as my SSN ends in 72. It is the 20th and I have nothing yet. I also went to the tax site and inserted all information asked for. According to that, I should get $300.00--I should have $300.00 as of 5/16.

I used Tax Cut to file my tax for direct deposit and it was on March 15.2008, It was a joint return and I did get the first deposit for $600 in my account but not the second one, I read that the IRS has said it would be June or July before they are sent due to their screw up in sending to some wrong bank accounts etc,which is not a surprise.

2nd week of February, an AARP volunteer prepared and efiled my return with a direct connection to the IRS website. I received my stimulus check direct deposited on May 5. I feel reeeealy lucky that I already have received mine! Last 2 digits of SS# are 39.

Feb. I filled using TaxCut from H&R Block. I had Direct deposit, so, I know that the IRS has the info. Was told check would be deposited on the 5/16. Well, It's 5/20, and still no check. My Mother got hers a week after i filled her taxes, figures. Thanks Gov. for nothing.

I filed our taxes (Married filing joint) in April. I received my tax refund for 2007 on May 2 via direct deposit. My last two SSN digits place me in the first group who should have recieved their rebate. Yesterday (5/21) I checked the IRS website to check progress of my rebate check; I instead received an automated note that said I was ineligible for the stimulus check because either me or my wife had an invalid SSN number. I checked my records and found that I had reversed two digits of my wife's SSN on our 1040. I called the IRS to correct this error and was told that they could correct her SSN, I would not receive a stimulus check this year because stimulus payments are based on the initial filing. I was told that when I file 2008 taxes next year that I would be able to collect the stimulus on my 2008 return. Has anyone else heard this?

my husband and I filed jointly in early feb. with H&R. We had no problem recieving our tax rebate via direct deposit, but we still haven't recieved our government check which was suppose to be deposited on the 9th. we were looking forward to the stimuli check to pay for plane tickets to CA. but now it looks like we'll have to pay for it. THANKS uncle sam!!!!

Filed on 02/23/08 via Turbo Tax online; received refund on time via direct deposit. Was due rebate no later than May 9th. I have received the letter, but not the rebate.

I file the first week in April, using Turdo Tax, it was joint, still no answer yet

We filed 2007 taxes via e-file in Feb. 07...had e-file fee deducted from return. Return was direct deposited into our checking acct. less than 4 weeks later. Last two digits of SS...52. According to IRS, deposit of stimulus check was to be May 9...nothing as of today.

I filed tax return with Turbo Tax in mid Feb. Got my refund within 2weeks,but have not received the rebate check yet. When filing tax return, i had all the processing taken out of my refund. P.S. I had to use my U.S.citizenship certificate to get a school loan this year because the S.S.dept. could no longer identify my SS#. Unbelieveable!! After 20years of living in the States!?!!? Does this have anything to do with my rebate check?

I Thought the incentive checks were supposed to be mailed out according to guidelines. If they are not sent out in a timely fashion
they will not have much of an effect on the economy as originally intended

I filed my tax return with HR Block in March, recieved refund two weeks later. I was expecting my rebate check by Saturday June 7th since according to the schedule my last digits are 37 and the check should be issued on the June 6th. Well I just received the letter yesterday June 10th notifying me that my check will be issued by June 6th and as of today June 11th I have not received. I called the IRS 1-800-829-0582 x462 and was told that my check will be issued on June 13th, I asked why I received a letter stating my check was issued June 6th, she apologized and said I was correct my check was issued on June 6th, I did not believe her, she did not sound to bright, I believe she may have been telling the truth and that my check will not be mailed until June 13th. All I know is the entire process is very frustating, I have 2 kids and money is very tight, needed the money yesterday!!!!

i filed my taxes with my accountant in february and had my return within 1 week. according to the schedule from the government i should have had my stimulus check deposited into my account on 5/16. it is now 6/19 and nothing... did not even receive a letter yet fromt he government regarding the stimulus. no fees deducted on my returns, etc.

I filed my taxes in Feb. of 2008 and I got my tax refund back but I did not get my stimulus check. I did receive a letter in the mail stating I would get my stimulus money, but never did. Later on I looked over my tax forms because I always make copies, and noticed that I forgot to check the box or put one in the box for the exemptions part so I made a mistake on my taxes in order to receive the stimulus money. How do I correct my taxes so that I can get my rebate? I am a single mom with a newborn and could use a little bit of extra cash.
