"Stimulus Package" arrived

[disneysteve]

I won't expect mine until July 4th for the paper check. Anyway to change it to direct deposit now or is it too late?

If you e-filed and got any refund by direct deposit, that's how you'll get this payment. If you filed on paper, you'll get a check.

Not necessarily. When I printed my taxes at TurboTax they asked me how I wanted to receive my payment. There was an option of entering our bank account information.

I stand corrected. I thought it was tied to how your taxes were handled.

just checked received mine yesterday direct deposit, was supposed to get it on May 9th. oh well, it's gone already to pay down some debt .

I thought the same as you disneysteve. I was under the impression it was tied to how you filed your taxes...

Economic stimulus payments will be issued according to the last two-digits of the main filer's Social Security number. For joint filers, the payments will go out based on the person listed first on the return. Payments will be made by either direct deposit or paper check, consistent with how people filed their 2007 tax return.

People who use direct deposit also will be among the first to receive the payments starting April 28. Direct deposits will be made daily and completed by the date listed below:

I am getting concerned. The wife and I both have SSN's with the last 2 digits under 19 and, according to everything I've read, should get the full $1200. However, we haven't received the Direct deposit we should have gotton by May 2nd.

Man I hope they didn't forget us...

You should go to the IRS web site. They now have "where's my tax rebate" so you can check what's up. Just put in the social and other important info.

I went to the site myself... I was suppose to receive mine by May 2nd as well. last number is 06! we even got our tax refund via direct deposit so I know they know it works.

After entering my info, the message appear saying no information was available on my info that I provided.

It wasn't a help at all. I noticed the news slowed down on the rebate thing. I believe it is to tone down the possible frustrations some might be experiencing to save faces.

Yikes! I'd call the IRS. You may wait all day to speak to someone, but you deserve answers.

Are you sure you are not looking at the "where's my refund" page? That pertains to your normal tax refund, not the stimulus rebate. I could not find any personal info on the rebate anywhere, just the standard schedule using last 2 digits of SSN.

Here is the link to find out where your stimulus payment is:

Mine is due tomorrow. Come on, IRS. Vanguard is waiting.

[noppenbd]

I put in my info (last 2 digits are 25) and got the same "no info" message.

I filed my return on time and got my DD already.

However, if you look in the fine print on that page, above the direct deposit schedule, it says "Please allow 2 weeks from the date shown on the schedule to receive your payment." So maybe the "transmitted" date does not mean the date it will appear in your account?

$1800 to be deposited tomorrow.

Update:

I was getting concerned because our last 2 digit is 06, we filed in advance, received our refunds via direct deposit, received confirmation from turbo tax that we qualified, each got a letter in the mail and still no rebate yet.

I found out why but still not giving high hopes..... I went to review our taxes from TurboTax file. On the form there is a section for the stimulus payment asking two questions, 1. Yes or no for direct deposit, and 2. If direct deposit, fill out bank information.

I did see my husband enter the bank information for the direct deposit but he mistakenly entered 'No' on the direct deposit thinking he pretty sure did say 'Yes'.

I had to laugh... I guess knowing there is a possibility a check is coming instead of total doubt is not so bad now.
