Economic Stimulus Schedule - Page 4

Flood950 · 05-06-2008, 08:13 PM

For anyone that still has not received theirs yet and falls into the lower number range, I checked tonight and now my info is showing up on the IRS web page. For who knows what reason, I am getting a mailed check. Holding my tax forms in my hand, they are certified for direct deposit. The only thing that I can think of, is that I had to pay for Federal instead of getting any actual deposit..who knows if that makes a difference though.

I got money back, and filed online, and did direct deposit, still nothing for me.

Its no biggie though. I don't need the money this instant and its really no suprise that the government would screw this up.

So just wanting to get this straight.

Will this stim check come from what we get in our 2008 tax return?
Link to that info?

And if I get the 300+ dollars they give me now. I don't pay that back correct?

Edit: Or maybe I'll just answer my own question.

Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?

A. No, the stimulus payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.

For those that still haven't gotten it:

"SAN FRANCISCO -- Human error and computer glitches at the Internal Revenue Service were responsible for up to 350,000 households not receiving a $300 per child economic-stimulus payment, the Associated Press reported late Thursday. About 130 million taxpayers were meant to benefit from the $168 billion economic-stimulus package, according to the AP. An IRS spokesman told the AP that those who did not receive the payments have been identified, and that the IRS will send the checks out in July."

Mine was a $600, but good to know for the $300s. Its hard as fuck to talk to a human that will discuss this for you at the IRS, but did get ahold of them, and they said that mine would go out as a check nlt may 23rd.

I'm still not keeping my hopes up

Exact same thing for me. I owed and for that reason did not get direct deposit even though I gave them my bank info to take the money. Glad to know I'm not the only one, did you find something that confirms that you're getting a check mailed for that reason?

AladainAF · 05-15-2008, 06:47 PM

I've got no idea. It makes no sense. Its cheaper to do direct deposit. Its faster, and overall more convenient. Then again, I guess with unlimited financial resources, they don't have to worry about the cheaper part.

If you used any tax prep software and they took their payments from direct deposit, the IRS does not actually have your direct deposit info. They have the bank of the company you used to help file. I did this with turbo tax, was surprised when I didn't get the direct deposit when I was supposed to, and found out that was why.

I got my federal return but still yet to get my stimulus check, gg socialism.

Elurin · 05-16-2008, 06:22 AM

The wife and I got screwed somehow and only got $600. Not sure what the deal with that is.

Sharmai · 05-16-2008, 06:28 AM

Just received my 600$ I filed with turbo tax. I did have my refund direct deposited and I paid the turbo tax fee when I filed my; taxes myself and NOT with my refund.

Just words from my accountant, who is also my sister-in-law. I called her up and asked if she knew what the deal was as I gave her my info to be set up for Direct Deposit, but she said as the transaction happened via mail; I mailed in a check with money I owed, rather than anything going through the bank directly, that was the reason.

Now since then, I have also received something in the mail saying when to expect my check, so, it does seem to all add up. My wife used the same accountant, everything was set up exactly the same, but as she got a refund, she already has her $600 via direct deposit.

Edit- To avoid confusion, we were not married at the time of filing.

Elurin · 05-16-2008, 01:59 PM

Well, apparently my wife and I only qualify for $600, since we used our IRA's to reduce our taxes owed (to below $600 total). As a couple, you get a minimum of $600, but no more than $1200. If your total taxes owed on the year is between $600-1200, you get whatever you owed.
