Have not received mine (last two digits in SS #80), according to the schedule it should have been direct-deposited on May 16!

There is an online form at the IRS website called “Where’s My Stimulus Payment?,” but when I filled it out, it said they had “no information” on my return or my payment. Maybe this will help someone else… I have read all of the “rules” as to why it would be a paper check instead of direct deposit and none of them apply to my return.

Hello everyone I just called my bank just about 5 minutes ago and my stimulus payment was deposited into my account as of 6:00am. Ya ya!
They told me I would be getting it June 13th but it came early. I wish all of you who are still waiting the best. It is Friday May 30th.

Boy, this is a mess. my last two are 01 and paper check shoudl have been mailed May 16th. It is now two weeks late and nothing. I sent in my tax forms early in Feb. so I know that is not it. That stupid “Wheres my stimulus payment” link just keeps saying “Sorry, no information yet available.” Why, why the hell isn’t there? A couple times it has told me I didn’t qualify for a stimulus payment because someone else had claimed me as a dependent..HA!!!!!I am 56 years old, divorced over 20 years, live alone, have only one child (whose taxes I do for him every year), there is absolutely no one who could claim me as a dependent.

I just think the whole thing is a screwed up farce.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MINE EITHER, LAST 2 #’S ARE 74 (MAY 9)
I KNOW I WILL GET THE REFUND BUT WHEN?
I THINK IF IRS GIVWS DATES FOE THE CHECKS TO BE OUT AND THEY ARE NOT THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED INTEREST AS IF THEY WOULD CHARE US.

UPDATE!!! Monday late at night I finally got some info on the IRS website , but ofcouse it says mailed out on the 6th. My husbands #26 , No letter as of yet. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed it comes early. We leave for vacation on the 7th. I still say the IRS time line can go OUT THE WINDOW. I guess I am one of the unlucky ones that is actually going by that stupid schedule. I just read another one. that said the guys # is 80 , shouldent get it till July, and got his letter last week , and got his check Friday. We filed in Feb. got out check dd 10 days later. but because of the whole 3rd party thing waiting on a check. Ya know I am very grateful we even get something, and we should not be complaining, BUT, If you are told you are getting something on a certain date and it does not happen, people are going to be upset, especially right now with everything being so much money. I am grateful I have my family , my husband and I and all our kids are healthy and my moms cancer is under control right now. There are people out there who will think JUST SHUT UP, but if people would take a step back and stop living such crazy lives, the World may not be in such bad shape. (not that Busch has done his part). HAVE A GREAT DAY AND I HOPE EVERYONE GETS THEIR MONEY TODAY!!!!!!!!!

last 2 digits 80, did my taxes on H&R Block ( will not ever use them again) and paid fees to Block by tax reduction. I am waiting for a paper check. NO check yet by mail. I filed my taxed the first day you could file them online. Would like to hear from someone who has gotten a papercheck with last 2 digits 80-90!

Why are people getting their checks before their listed date? My husbands is 26, but I know of so many people, who’s numbers are way higher than that who received their check, in the mail last week. My friend who is 84 said she also got hers via mail last week. What is up!!!!!
Still no info on the irs website, just tells me no info avail at this time. Calculator gives me the amount. But of course 600 less than what we thought , married 3 kids. only getting 1500 back. Can anyone tell me why these checks are going out with no rhyme or reason. PLEASE DO NOT POST THAT STUPID IRS SCHEDULE. IT MEANS NOTHING.
Thank you

are some of the people on here slow or can’t read? If you go to the IRS website it explains everything in plain ENGLISH.
It says the checks will be mailed out no later than the date and should be received a few days after well if it was a weekend you need to add a couple extra days. If you live in a small town that does not directly mail from their post office that’s an extra couple days. Just because you have a post office in your town does not mean the bulk mail goes there it more than likely goes to the largest town then they distribute it to the smaller town post offices and then they deliver it to your home. It also says if you had a RAL loan and rapid refund, tax preparation fees taken out of your refund you will get a paper check. Yes it sucks that they didn’t tell us this BEFORE we filed our taxes but it’s too late to do anything about it now! If you would just read the information on their site you would understand where your refund is or when it will get to you. If you mail out a letter on Friday most likely the person will not get it til the following Tuesday maybe even later. They can’t promise a day you will receive a paper check. They are not the courier service they only promise the day it will be sent out by.

I called today to speak with an IRS rep because my neighbor whose last two Soc #’s are after mine and he already received his check via the mail. I have not. I asked the Rep and I was told “your check was mailed on friday, all checks are mailed on Fridays. But it will probably take 14 business days to reach you. I told him there is no reason it should take that long to go from them to me. He stated that it was on its way. I said well I received a letter on Monday that said I would “have it BY the 23rd” and using the word BY is saying that I will have my check BY that date and not later. He laughed and said yes that was worded wrong, it means it will be out by the 23rd but don’t look for it until the 30th. I then questioned how the note said inside at the top “Notice Date: May 19th”, he said oh we know about how long it will take to reach you, SO the date is usually right around the time you get it. I said okay but you cannot do that with the checks, that makes no sense. After being frustated with that I then said okay but my neighbor…he said “depends on who filed first” I said you know what everything about the rebate has been “worded” all wrong. First people were not correctly informed about Direct Deposit until after the IRS got a million angry calls, now its on how fast you filed. I mean its was nice that they did it, but all the problems and frustration. Yes people shouldn’t be counting on it, but when its made a big deal and you get peoples hopes up, then get disappointed and they have a right too. “Free money or not”.

I received mine on time. I got mine on the 16th of May and my last two were 91. I was told that if you used Turbo Tax, those people are having problems getting theirs late. I always use TaxAct. There is a site you can enter in your social and it will tell you if you are getting one or not. Also you can enter your tax info and it will tell you how much you should expect. I know lots of people expected 600 and they got less than that.

We went through Turbo Tax but paid our fees up front via credit card BUT had the refund deposited into 2 accounts. Did this cause it to kick us out of the DD and into the paper check mailing??

I totally agree with you Jamie…Discussion blgs like this one are used for exactly what their called..”Discussion”…these are here so people can connect with eachother about their problems and rant and rave about them. So adding to the comment above..to those who are being disrespectful to people on here either read what a discussion blog is for and get over yourself….or quit reading them in general. To everyone else Good Luck with everything!!!!!!!!!

Mine is #55. Today I called IRS and they said that she doesn’t see anything gone out for me yet. It means they haven’t processed me yet. She could not tell me the reason why it was not processed yet. I am in CA. It took me 1/2 hour to get thru to thru the music and talk to her. Anyone else with same reason being told.

For the people that are making rude comments and telling people to “SHUT UP” if you don’t want to hear about it…then go away!! People are wanting to hear other peoples experiences to make them feel better and know that they aren’t the only ones in this situation! If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all…Feel like i’m talking to my 5 year old!

C’mon folks~we all need some extra cash but do you all think that belly
aching is going to bring it sooner? We have not received ours yet either but
you should not be counting on this money to pay bills. My son flipped out when he read he would receive it by May 9 and he did not. I explained to him that he would receive a check in the mail and he should not pay any attention to those dates. I am with all of you about needing the money but complaining won’t bring it sooner. Good luck everyone!
