Recession? What recession?
President Bush has announced that the delivery of the rebate checks will happen sooner than initially planned. The checks will be distributed beginning Monday, four days earlier than expected.
Paper checks will be mailed May 9, one week earlier than expected.
Here’s the breakdown.
For direct deposit:
For paper checks:
Four days earlier… Do you care? Will it make a difference?

What I care, is that my family’s social security numbers are mostly in the 90 to 99 range and it’s not part of the chart.
hmm….4 days=impressive in IRS terms. Heres the logic 4 days=28 dog days, wow almost a month ahead of schedule.
well it’s kinda weird, today is the 28th and there is nothing in my Account, is this tentatively or guaranteed for today? the last two of my ss# is 03
Kelvin – Chart had a typo, all fixed now.
Kevin – very funny!
Latoya-
It’s supposed to happen today.
Make sure you filed with direct deposit (otherwise you get a paper check). Also, I’d check bank policy – funds may not be available until this afternoon.
I just read that the IRS will deposit 800k per day for the next three days… so keep checking!
Why did I not get one the first time around? Income was over 3000 and under 24,000. Just curious!
latoya,
I haven’t gotten mine today, either. I guess, technically, they have until midnight. I get an email anytime I have a deposit into my checking acct so I’ll know as soon as it hits.
*crosses fingers and waits anxiously*

To clarify, the IRS is beginning to make deposits today. They are depositing to 800,000 taxpayers per day until the first batch is finished. So it could be as late as Wednesday.
how long does it take after the paper check is mailed.
I’d guess a couple of days… but keep in mind that those mailed around May 11 (Mother’s Day) could take longer. Mother’s Day is traditionally one of the most popular days to mail greeting cards.
HAS ANYONE RECEIVED THEIR REBATE??? WAITING TO HEAR AT LEAST ONE PERSON RECEIVED IT.
Why from smallest number to largest. seems a bit unfair that they do it this way all the time. How about from top to bottom this time?
What determines if you get a direct deposit rebate or a paper chaek?
Gerard, as someone in the later group, I agree! But I’m afraid the feds will never be that creative…
Anne, it depends on how you filed your 2007 tax return. If you chose direct deposit for that, then you’ll be direct deposit for your rebate. Otherwise, you’re paper.
hey taxgirl, “by the 28th” meaning today…or at earliest the 28th…and so on and so forth.
if we are so in ressesion not saying so 600.00 will not get our econamy straight better try thousands…….and if we stop buying gas at least on day a month that might just straighten some of this mess up….
TaxBoy,
Initial indications were that the deposit dates were more like deadlines, IRS has since clarified that they were beginning dates. My theory is that it’s more or less the same schedule as before – only retooled and repackaged to make it look different.
jan davis,
I agree re gas. I think a large part of our economic woes are directly tied to the rise in oil prices. It affects everything from daily commutes to the price of food and other necessities.
Why is it we can’t find a new schedule???? ONly ones I find are same ole dates as before????
Deb -
I’m not sure what “new schedule” you’re referring to. The schedule above is the IRS’ announced revised schedule.
The only difference is that the “by” dates are really “beginning” dates – but that’s bureaucracy for you!
I agree gas prices are ridiculous! Our return was filed under last 2 of social 01, we have not received anything as of yet. And I don’t think they are giving these thinking 600 is not going to do anything… they are looking at the big picture of the total dollars re-entering the economy.
hey i hope they do not start at the top i am 05 and need to fill up my suv tomorrow looks like the 1800 we get might almost let me get a full tank.
My husband’s SS# ends in 05. mine is 07 and we haven’t received anything. It should be direct deposit. Any one know if it is likely we will receive it tomorrow (wednesday)?
Some sites, like MSN are saying that all direct deposits will be completed by May 2nd. If I read correctly, something like 44 million people choose to have their tax returns sent via direct deposit.
Since it will be around 7.5 million deposits that will be made this week, I fail to see how that would be all of them, even if you do take into account those who didn’t qualify for the rebate and those who filed later and/or by paper.
Today is the 30th and I haven’t received anything yet. Mine is supposed to be a direct deposit.
YAY!!! Money!!! I Care…i think 4 days make a HUGE diffrence.At least it does in my life.
I hope this revised schedule is correct… I am counting on it for basic necessities… gas, food, and a couple of bills…
IRS is supposingly releasing 800,000 a day for since Monday… Has anyone with the last digits of 16 received their’s yet??????
Will a person with the last digit of 64 receive theirs on Friday?
I really want to know… (thanks).

It’s important to understand that there are a lot of things that might affect the rebate schedules. More information here: http://www.taxgirl.com/important-rebate-information/
I got my rebate refund to day, but I should have had 300.00 additional for my daughter. Are they filing by the dependan’t SS# as well as mine? Her’s ends in 32
My sister don’t get a refund and don’t owe, she
file before the april 15. How will she received her
Rebate.
Marie, If she did not include direct deposit information on her tax return, she will receive a paper check.

Your check should include any money attributable to your dependents. If your check is less than you thought, it could be that you didn’t pay enough tax this year to qualify for the full rebate, that you had too much income to receive the full rebate or that your dependent was disallowed. You may want to double check the rules for the rebates (look in the sidebar for more info) and also look at your tax return.
Is there an age that you don’t have to file anymore? My dad will be 73 this year and i was just wondering?He does get SS.
I efiled my return with taxact onling. I had it direct deposited into my account. will I still get my rebate direct deposited into my account.
If i had my taxes done by h&r block and got a cashiers check from them will i have to get this check from them also?
My social ends in 14, today is May1, should be direct deposited, still waiting. Why are we working people earning less than 75 to 80K a year getting only $300? Tearing my eyebrows out!
Irs.gov Currently have “under Rebate Payment Questions” a link called…Where is my Stimulus Payment? Effective today.
I plugged in my SSN; Method of Filing i.e, head of househould, etc…. and the number of exceptions “not dependents” and it will tell you the amount and the date your payment will be deposited…
Unfortunately, it had no information pretaining to me on the site… but my Co-worker who SSN ends with number 18 information was available.
My number is 64; My daughter’s number is 77 Neither of us had information on that site… Yet we qualify for the payment. I believe it’s because our week for the deposit has not yet come… I will be in next weeks spin.. and she should be in the week after… At least that is what I came up with.
I quess that if you did not qualify… it would tell you correct? Could you please confirm, if possible.
Thanks,
R.
My husbands ends in 05… still no direct deposit. Also tried the new IRS “Where’s my Stimulus Payment?” and it said there was an error with the information. No error… so confused! I just hope it comes soon.. we need it just to live on!
What if my check if being mailed and I have just moved in the past month, my mail is being forwarded. Will they forward this too?
I agreee with Jan Davis , stop buying gas EVERYONE!!!!! for just 1 day and see what happens. We should make May 6th. NO GAS DAY!!!!
GOOD NEWS this morning!!!! Rebate has arrived in my account. SS# ends with “04″ and first appeared on the IRS website yesterday with the correct amount of my anticipated rebate and a target date for deposit of the 2nd (today). Good luck to everyone; happy spending or whatever.
