Have people actually got the stimulus money yet?

[dreamcastrocks]

Yea, here is the BS I found out.

I did direct deposit and expected my check on the 9th. It never came so I finally got a hold of someone at the IRS. I did Turbo Tax and filed through Turbo Tax so the IRS did not have my Direct Deposit info, they had Turbo Tax's info. So now I have to wait until June 27th for it to be mailed.

Pretty sure I used Turbo Tax..

 

[Linderbee]

Got mine today

Exactly, That is why I don't understand what I was told. I used the online Turbo Tax rather then the CDs.

[Jersey Girl]

I am supposed to get mine by today.

 

[black]

Got my letter 2 days ago, It should be here today.

 

[nathan]

Got my stimulus money and my state refund today. I get paid tomorrow (with an extra $1200 for overtime "worked" at home). I'm rolling in green lately. It's nice to be rolling in green

 

[Arby]

So, are you supposed to receive a letter before you receive your payment?

Since I did the direct deposit thing, I thought I would have had my money deposited on May 2nd, didn't happen.

Now with the new info regarding Turbo Tax (which I used), I should have a check on or around the 23rd of May.

Should have I received a letter confirming this by now?

Dear Valued Customer,

We want to provide you with the most up–to–date information about the tax rebate to which you may be entitled.

Recently, you may have received a letter from the IRS advising you when to expect your Economic Stimulus Payment (rebate). That IRS letter may have inadvertently left off some important information. Taxpayers who chose to have their tax preparation fees deducted from their federal tax refund will receive their tax rebate in the mail, not via direct deposit.

Our records show that you chose this payment option in TurboTax. As a result, the IRS has determined that you will receive your tax rebate in the mail. This may result in you receiving your rebate on a date later than expected.

This situation, while not unique to TurboTax, is understandably causing some concern and confusion. To help further clarify the situation, below is the most current IRS rebate payment processing schedule, as well as additional resources about the tax rebates.

I hope you find this information helpful. If you still have questions, the best source for the most up-to-date information is www.irs.gov (see the "Rebate Payment Questions" link).

Sincerely,

Bob Meighan

Vice President, TurboTax Customer Advocacy

I just got this e-mail as well

Just got mine. Trying to figure out why it was 1800.00? Seems awfully high?

up to 1200 per married couple
300 per child.

Thats explains it. The two kiddos added in. Thx.

 

[Linderbee]

Safeway has a deal right now that if you get the paper check & cash it at Safeway (they're saying that NO FEE will be charged) they will give you a certificate for 10% off your groceries. I think the catch is that you have to use the certificate that day or the next. Still, a good deal.

 

[sundevilscott]

I finally got the letter. Freaking Turbo Tax.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

I finally got the letter. Freaking Turbo Tax.

No doubt.

We always use electronic payment/direct deposit and were told initially that we'd get ours first (before those who file by mail) and it would be electronically depositied....

Now we've received a snail mail letter saying the check is in the mail. UGH.

We prefer the electronic transaction because we've had a mail thief in our area around tax time before and we don't have locked mailboxes.

Why the change in how they're sending them out?

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Yep, and paid off credit card.

Some good news for once. It was nice. I enjoyed the good news for 3 hours, basking in it.

 

[black]

Got mine a month ago, gave it to the youngest as a graduation gift. Easy come easy go.

 

[Mulli]

I just got something telling me my refund was on its way. Why bother? Save the money and just send the stupid check.

 

[earthsci]

Still haven't gotten it yet. Nice having a Social that ends with 99.

 

[justAndy]

I spent mine on clothes, restaurant meals, a tattoo, and a couple Asian massages.
