Tax Rebate

[alissatucci]

Does anyone know a lot of info about the tax rebates?

According to the last couple digits of mine and my husband's social, we should have had ours direct deposited today (we e-filed through Turbo Tax and had our refund direct deposited).

I know we qualify because I went through the Rebate calculator on their website.

I also tried calling the IRS, but when you call, it says their call volume is too high to take your call right now.  And when you DO get through, it leads you on an endless trip through their system to say that they can't give you any specific information about your rebate and press "0" to speak to someone.  Then when you press "0" it says call volume is too high.

My sister and her husband also didn't get theirs.  But someone my husband works with got his.

Anyone have any clue

Yes!  I'm in the same boat as you.  We should have received our rebate today (we used Turbo Tax and had our refund Direct Deposited) and here's the scoop...

The IRS website says, "If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 Refund or you received a rapid refund, you will be receiving a check instead of a direct deposit."  http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=181665,00.html

So... you and I are both screwed!  Because when you use Turbo Tax and are getting a refund, the vast majority of people just have their filing fees taken out of their refunds.  We didn't do a rapid refund, but we DID have the filing fees taken out of our refund.  So, even though we had our refund Direct Deposited (which makes you think that you should be getting your rebate TODAY), you will get your rebate check via PAPER CHECK!  So, our check isn't getting mailed until June 27th.  LOVELY!

Hope that helps!

I got mine today, filed through TurboFax via e-file and paid through Direct Withdrawal as well.

I called the IRS and actually got someone and she checked on my stimulus check because I should have gotten mine direct deposited on May 2, 2008.  I also used Turbo Tax and had the fees debited from the refund.  She told me because of that, I will be getting a check around May 23, 2008.  Thank goodness my husbands number is 18.  I thought I would share that since it came from their mouth.
Thanks

I looked on the IRS website and it gives dates on when they are supose to be direct deposited.. Mine is supose to be direct deposited on the 16th.. My last 2 numbers of my ss are 98.. GO figure how low... Cant get any lower in numbers eh? Now i know people with SSN that end in 92 and they werent supose to get theirs tell the 16th either and got it yesterday... Whyt didnt I LOL!

Ok im kinda reading what everyones else has writen... I did my taxes online with H&R and ofcourse they took filing fee's out.. Does that mean mine will get mailed out. I guess i thought it would be direct deposited cuz my taxes were direct deposited.. But i guess thats not the case anymore?

[CjPaulson]

Ok now im being told that if u didnt get a paper in the mail stating how much U were gettting then Ur not getting one at all!!! See i got a paper in the mail sayin what U will get if U claimed this and that but i never got a  paper stating what i'd get.. Like a personal letter saying my amount... So does that mean im not getting one at all!? Wow that sucks.. Cuz i was so counting on that,!!!

[deehackett]

Arg.....I used TaxAct to do mine and yep, they took the fee's out of the refund amount. So even though it was direct deposit I still have to wait until June now to get a paper check?? arg again.

[CjPaulson]

Dumbest thing ever.. Also i was told.. That if u move they wont forward the check..?? That it will just go back?  And that its to late 4 me to tell them MY new address? Well im starting to think that staying here isnt wortht hat check at all! Im going to move either way.. Sigh!

If you had your refund direct deposit then you will get the rebate the same way. My roommate already got theirs in their account. I, on the other hand, would have to wait till June to get mine because I received my refund via paper check.

Ok im going to say this as well as i understand it.. LOL!!! Now people are saying if u went through H&R block and the H&R Block fee;s were taken outta the tax return that U will NOT get your check direct deposited that U will get a paper check because... H&R block is a third party company that sends your taxs forms to the IRS.. And that the IRS never sees your direct deposit forms so they do NOT know where to direct deposit your money.. Only H&R knew your account numbers (Bank wise) And since the IRS doesnt have a direct deposit account number 4 U that they send them out paper check..  Now if U paid the H&R Blocks fee's upfront that U will get your Stimulis check Direct deposited... See i didnt pay them upfront i had them take their fee's outta my 2007 Tax Return. So i guess i'll be getting paper check.. IS there anyone else that did a H&R Block tax return and had the H&R  Block fee's taken outta there 2007 Return get their Stimulis check direct deposited? Im asking because i thought 4 sure id be getting mine at the end of this month and now i find out im not.. And have to wait 4 a check!?/?
