Second Update: For those of you wondering if you will ever receive your stimulus payment, they should send via snail mail a letter with bold words on the back reading stimulus ”Payment” (can not miss it).

The letter will basically remind you of when you can expect your payment to arrive and will also explain the possibility of why perhaps you may receive less. As I mentioned in the past I was to receive my stimulus on May 9th DD but never did so I hope this may be of some help to those of you still in the dark. This is just in my experience so far to date.

With no disrespect intended Shirley, Their are so many proud Americans with kids no less trying to make ends meat and their very survival depends on this few hundred as promised. If I were ”promised” a free trip to somewhere exotic for a week on a specific date. I know I’d be pissed if the date passed by and I was never notified as to why I’m still waiting with my bags packed.

Most of these people have a right to vent as that is all it is. Call it another human trait we all share. With that said it will arrive we just have to be patient…(sigh)

For those of you who are so unproud to be an american, then maybe you should move. the government does not have to give this money to us. so we should not be complaining about it! it is free money! i will take it when it comes. as for the government not “taking care of our wellbeing” we are responsible for ourselves and should be prepared to do so. i for one, am very proud to be an american and i haven’t even received my check yet!

Update: I went to the IRS website again and it appears to be true. For those of you whom did the DD before the tax deadline but allowed your fees to be taken from the rebate total… Expect a paper check in the mail. As I had mentioned before I should have received mine through DD on May 9th but after trying the IRS website one more time I was finally informed that I would receive my $600 via chech which will be mailed out June 6th. When you go to the IRS site and fill in the nessary information you will only be notified if you are a week or so away from your money being sent to you. Hope this sheds some light on this subject?

I used TaxAct and DD and was scheduled for the 9th. It’s now the 28th and nothing. Except of course the IRS dead end.

I had a product shipped May 9 from Germany to the US and it arrived on the 21st. So Germany can get me physical products sent by econom mail into my handsfaster than our own IRS can do a simple electronic transfer of the money they promised me…

Thankfully, I didn’t count on this money for my bills, but as gas is rising by the minute, $1200 could help keep fuel in the tank for a while!

May 28 and counting…

This is to shirley. We were supposed to receive ours on the ninth and we still haven’t received it as of 24May. That really is a shame and people are already having financial issues.

I filed back in very early March with H and R Block. According to the rebate format I should have had mine DD on May 9th. Las two digits of my SS are under 35. Now their claiming that because I allowed my filing fees to be taken from the amount owed to me that this puts me in a category to receive my stimulus rebate via paper check in June, possibly July. What makes me wanna foam at the mouth is I have read others whom filed exactly as I did and they have receive theirs already

I did everything accordingly and still nothing yet. The IRS website directs you to a dead end so that’s no help and I know I would be wasting my time trying to call them. I’m mad so so so so mad. Now I donno if I will get it by DD, snail mail or if at all. How about adding a few hundred for those of us that were inconvenienced, call it the late interest fee?

Supposed to get DD on the 9th, nothing yet! It would be nice to get it before the holiday weekend to help pay for family time. For shame.

Yeah, I don’t think it has to do with third party programs. Me and my wife both used the free online H&R Block program to do ours (we filed seperately as we weren’t married last year.) I was scheduled to receive mine on the 9th… nothing yet. She was scheduled on the second roll out date and she got hers… though she should have received 600 and only got 300.

I also have hopes of using my stimulus check for food and gas. I was supposed to receive these the 16th of May. I have not received it and was told that if I haven’t received it by June 13th to contact the IRS. I personally think that the government is what it always has been….a rip off. I’ve never had any faith in the government and never will as far as someone else being in charge of my welfare. They’ve let us down and will continue to do so. That’s the land of the free and the brave. Riggghhhhhttttt!!!!! Unproud to be an Americannnn!!!

This is retarded.
I was suppose to receive mine on May 9th and now its May 18.
Its just irriatates the hell out of you.
You do every damn thing by the book you file electronically.
You pay for the service from your bank or credit union.
You did it early. But with this IRS something goes wrong.

WHY!?
is it true we are watching the worst Government screw us all over and play games with us?
I just can’t explain the anger i feel right now.
That we do everything by the damn book and this is how the repay us.

Can’t even put a damn check in our Bank Accounts.
Hits us with a bunch of gobbely goop and lies.

Why even wave this in front of us if they had no intention of doing what they said they were going to do.

its not that hard to put something into your bank account. alot of us are paided via direct deposit.
all our taxes have our banks routing numbers.
why are we dealing with a slow moronic system like this.

I think we need to focus solely on chaos for the answers to this, because..

I used e-file through turbo-tax, less than 6 weeks ago, and received my direct deposit of this stimulus check, BEFORE the dates on the schedule. Early.. go figure! Before ANY were supposed to be direct deposited.

I don’t think it has anything to do with e-file, 3rd party, or timely filing of taxes.

My husband and I have been waiting along with a lot of others. It’s sad. We filed our taxes way early. We keep checking our mailbox everyday…nothing….we too are waiting to use this money on things we need and have to pay…….everything happening in this world….war, bad economy, high gas prices…IRS taking forever is starting to takes it’s toll not only on us, but many, many others….it’s just so sad:O(

I was scheduled to get my payment today on May 9th and I haven’t gotten mine either. I used H&R block online and so did someone else I know and still no money. I even went to the irs.gov and went to a link called where’s my refund it did not have any information. I am starting to think that this is a hoax by the goverment. Who are we fooling, the government is still going to get this money one way or another. We still have to pay taxes for food and gas.

My son filed through taxact and DD’d just like we did. He got his on the 8th, got a mailed notice on the 12th, dated the 12th, and the notice said he would get his on the 9th. We have yet to receive ours, and our ss #’s are 6 digits difference. When I try the site, “Where’s my stimulus” I get nothing. It’s really screwed up, huh?

I had to pay in this year but had it taken automatically from my bank account, The Money was taken out within a week of filing. Because they have my account information should I be receiving my Stimulus refund via Direct deposit or will it be sent by check

I think this IRS stimulas check is a scam….they say it is for the economy…bull…or everyone would get what they told us we would get. NOT the government…not BACK child support…i say if you are paying child support…monthly…or on a regular basis…you should get it …it is to go back in the economy….not the government pocket!!!! This is typical…no help for the little man struggling…throw us a bone …and pull it back in just as we start to smell it.
