Finally.
The IRS has a feature available on its web site where you can check the status of your rebate. Visit “Where’s My Stimulus Payment?” and have on hand your legal name, filing status, Social Security number and number of exemptions shown on your 2007 return. You must have filed your tax return at least six weeks prior in order to get an update.
If your information is not available (mine wasn’t), you’ll receive a message telling you to check the Payment Schedule.
Hopefully, this will put some of your questions to rest. I’d love to hear feedback from those of you who have used the site!

We revieved our rebeate dd 0n the 9th we paid bills, bought grocerys. not sure if this will help the encomy. our payment was reduce by 400.00 dollars almost we do not make much either and had have 4 kids
I did my taxes early and had them direct deposited, This was done in jan, After not recieving my direct deposit on the 9th I decided to call them and was told it will be mailed paper check, But they could not give me Any other info, So I go back to the worthless site and get a crappy : we are sorry we have no info message.
My last ss digits is 24 AND THEY STILL HAVE NO INFO?
I will be happy when I actually get any info on anything about my stim check, I won’t hold my breath tho.
today 15th still no rebate suppose to be 09 direct deposjt
You’re gonna love this. I have been using the IRS tool every day for about a week. Plus we are suposed to get a mailing via snail mail before we get the check. Well the IRS says no information available and I never received a notice but I did get the rebate on time. I went to the IRS page after receiving the rebate and it still says no info! Don’t depend on that tool or on a notice. Check with your bank!
Me again, I put in the wrong web site in my last post!! It’s osmadventures.net not .com
My number is 40.. still nothing, but my coworker got hers today and her number is 98.. pissed off i am well we just have to wait!
Something else interesting, I have been using the tool wrong!!!! It says enter total exemptions not dependents. When the page was created I swear it said depedents. You must enter all claimed. I was just putting in 2 for my kids but should have been putting 4 for all of us. When I did 4 it worked. Good luck!
We got a letter from the IRS on the 10th explaning our total of the stimulus payment. It then says “You can expect your payment by 5/16/08.” So much for expecting it! Got nothing else from them.
Well, we recieved our paper check in the mail today. It was for the amount we were given on the calculator as well as the amount they gave us on our mailout. I guess a few days late isn’t all that bad. Hope everyone gets theirs soon! Good luck! Gonna pay some bills now!
I checked the “Where’s my rebate?” thing on the IRS website. We also got a letter in the mail that said it would be deposited on the 16th. Hmmm…now it’s the 19th and nothing. Oh, and my SS# ends in 04. My wife’s in 03.
Last 2 digits of my husband’s social is 34 and we are getting a paper check. when can we expect that?
My wife’s last 2 digits are 24…and they said it would be mailed /received on May 30th
For all of you that have received your check already…..was your info showing up on the “Where’s my rebate?” feature on the IRS website?
yes ours was make sur to enter all info correct expically exemptions correct not your dependents also try both ss numbers it worked under mine instead of my husbands good luck
website of course had no info for me,but the schedule said i was to get mine on may16.still havent.i was reading the times picayune(new orleans,la)news paper and there was a tiny article stating that 15,000 peoples rebate checks were deposited into the wrong peoples accounts.so the people who recieved deposits matching someone elses social security numbers are supposed to call the irs and report it.i presume that may be causing a big hold up.
I was suppose to receive my rebate check direct deposit on the 16th of May. I did not receive it, the last two of my social is 80 and I can’t puull up any info on the website and when I cvall the hotline number is says that the IRS is experiencing too many calls and can not except mine and automatically disconnects me. What do you do next? I suppose just wait.
I was suppose to have my check DD on the 2nd, then I found out that because I went thru turbotax and had my fees taken out of my refund that I will be getting a check instead and it will be mailed out no later than the 23rd. Has anyone gotten their check early that was suppose to receive theirs on the 23rd? BTW my last digits are 10
Yes, last two digits 15. We got ours on Monday May 19, 2008. We as well went through Turbo Tax. and was scheduled to receive ours through the mail on th 23rd.
hmmm. well maybe there is still hope for me then!
jamie, was your info showing up on the “where’s my stimulus” feature on the IRS website?
When I checked the “where’s my stimulus” on May 13th it was showing that our check would be mail May 15th. It did not show anything before the 13th though (I would check it every day). We received it May 19th.
I got a letter about my stimulus payment letting me know that I should receive my check by the 23rd. But it says that I am only getting 910 and I just dont understand why. I have 2 qualifying children and I didnt make much so I dont get why I’m not getting the full 1200. anyone else have this problem?
Yes we did April. Iam married with four children we do not make that much either ours was redeuced by almost 400.00 dollars. With the gas and cost of food we need it.
thats just not right. they need to either up the value of the dollar or reduce the cost of living
My last tw0 digits are 07 i went through turbo tax….i live in GA can anyone tell me when I should expect my MAILED check??also has anyone in GA(AUGUSTA)gotten theres’ by mail?
I know they need to do something to help us! It is bad. people are leaving there homes. I show on news this morning the cost of food has risen 6% since this time last year.
well! Its the 23rd and Memorial Day weekend, sure hope I get that check in the mail today. Bills need to be paid, food needs to be bought and gas needs to be put in the car
good luck April , I know how you feel ho can we boost the encomy if we have to spend our stimulus checks of basic stuff food and gas. It is not fair cost of gas today was 3.99 ! Crazy !
Gas here in Utah hasnt made it that high…YET its like $3.89! I remember when I first started driving gas was only like 97 cents, paying a $1.20 was expensive. Boy what I would give to go back to those days!!
It was only 3.69 on Wednesday but by Friday it was 3.99 we live in indiana I just wonder if it because of the holiday?
Probably. but now with the rate of gas nobody is going to even want to go anywhere this summer for vacations. I could imagine what the price tag would be to fill our boat.
Yeah we are not doing anything this weekend because of gas prices my husband also a part time lawn bussiness so he not making any money all going to gas, food, bills , kids. I hope the goverment does something soon for us.
I’m going to quote my dad “wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which one fills up first”
That pretty much sums that up!! I’ve heard that by next year gas prices are going to be up to $7 a gallon. If thats the case then nobody is going to want to drive at all and all those car dealerships are going to go out of business. This is just NOT good
Gas in Seattle is $4.28. The news interviewed the gas clerk and he said that by the summer gas will be $6/gal. Nobody can get second jobs or even pay raises anymore. Here, everything seems to be at a standstill, just waiting for the next drastic thing to happen.
i was to get my check on friday may23 and nothing yet can anyone tell me why
my mom was to get her check dd on may 9th so can anyone tell me why thjank you
surprise surprise no check!! thats all I’ve got to say about that!!
My last two are 10 and my mothers are 12. We both recieved letters early last week stating we would recieve our checks via snail mail by 5/23. No checks yet. In reading various blogs I have come to the conclusion that no one in the same range (10-19) have recieved thier checks yet. Chances are they just sent them out Friday and they will come this week…I HOPE ATLEAST!!
ok, it FINALLY shows on the website that we are getting our check! It says it is scheduled to be issued on June 6th. I am just glad to finally have some info. Has anyone been getting there’s any sooner?
Hello,
I checked the “Where’s my stimulus payment” website and it said my check is scheduled to be issued on May 23rd. When I called the rebate hotline – it indicated my check will be mailed on May 23rd. I am planning to go home during lunch today to check my mail. My last two digits are 23. Has anyone received their check with a May 23rd issue date?
I went home during lunch and my check was in the mailbox. The check was mailed out Friday, May 23, 2008 (Per the IRS Website) and I received my check today – Tuesday, May 27, 2008. As I stated in my previous post – My last two digits are 23.
Well to follow up on my earlier weirdness post. I called the IRS since it shows that our money was direct deposited. It only showed on my wife’s social. I call the IRS and they said that is incorrect we would be mailed a check since we took our fees out of the return (which we didn’t) so now we are getting a check (I think) by June 16th. Well except for not getting the check I have had about as much weirdness on this than i wnated too. Why is it siuch a mess from the last time they did this. The last time it went like clockwork.
Well, I am about to head home…please keep your fingers crossed for me! The website says that my check was to be “issued” on 5/23 (I’m assuming that’s via snail mail) so…I’ll let you guys know tomorrow!
Well, my last 2 digits are 87 and still haven’t received my rebate. I did mine before april 15th via online, so this sucks. Irs.gov site can’t find my info either…
Yeah um I got that notice in the mail on the 19th saying that I should get the check by the 16th? Yup so then I go to the status checker and that told me that it had been direct deposited on the 16th? Yeah, no, it is not in there. So I will end with saying my last 2 digits are 31. Please soak this in and help!
i was suppose to have my check directly deposted into my account may 9th, i still havent recieved my check yet whats really going on
well guess what it really does work my husband got his check so everyone just be patient
I did my return and my mom’s at the end of March and I mailed them and still nothing. I am just worried that they didn’t get them. For all I know they got lost in the mail. We both chose direct deposit and I check the IRS tool and nothing comes up. Does it even work? I can’t get through to the IRS so what are you supposed to do?
Where is my rebate check? I was suppost to have it by 5-30-2008. I was counting on it for bills. IRS has deadlines, what about are deadlines?
I called the IRS this morning and was told I would receive my money dd this week. Nothing is coming up on the IRS Tool though. I don’t know what to believe. I don’t want to get my hopes up and then it doesn’t show up. My friend and her husband e filed their return on April 15th and already got their money like 3 weeks ago. So it doesn’t look like if you do it late you have to wait.
