The credit will be applied towards any refund you might be due. On its site, the IRS states very clearly that “taxpayers will receive a single refund that includes any recovery rebate credit to which they are entitled. The IRS will not be issuing separate recovery rebate credit payments.” [...] [...] If you qualify to receive the rebate this year (because you didn’t qualify last year or your situation has changed), you don’t need to take any further steps beyond filing your return.

I will be 64 in August 2009. I received $300.00 for a stimulus last year, 2008. I have been perminately disabled since 1998, due to a drunk driver, and living on what I receive from Social Security. Will I get another stimulus when I file my 2008 tax form, even though I don't pay taxes any more because the SS is tax free? What do I need to do? Thanks, Donald Hello,

We're still up in the air on the paper sites, but I really don't expect to see more than one or two (if any) this tax season who would be eligible for more rebate money. Personally, I've looked over the worksheet; and it wouldn't give me any trouble. It would just take a bit more time.

I hadn't heard about that one. At H&R Block, there were some problems earlier in the week, but by Thursday (I just work Thursdays and Fridays), we were back to preparing returns as usual. What I've been doing is just checking each client on the IRS's "How Much Was My Stimulus Payment" page, and entering the correct number. However, if the client is due to get additional money (I've only had one, so far, who was), we tell them that it's going to take an extra couple of weeks for the IRS to cough it up. So if they want one of our refund-loan products (which almost all Block customers do), we tell them, "This is how much you'll get, but $300 of it will take longer than the rest."
