When can I expect my rebate check?
If you filed your taxes you may already have your tax rebate in your bank account.
The IRS started depositing stimulus payments earlier than expected. Rebates will be sent out based on the last two digits of your social security number.
The announced schedule for depositing is listed below. To determine how much you can expect, have your copy of your return and visit the IRS Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator website.
| IF YOU CHOSE YOUR REBATE TO BE DIRECTLY DEPOSITED: | |
|---|---|
| Last 2 digits of your SS# | Date of rebate deposit |
| 00-20 | May 2 |
| 21-75 | May 9 |
| 76-99 | May 16 |
| IF YOU CHOSE TO RECEIVE A PAPER CHECK: | |
|---|---|
| Last 2 digits of your SS# | Date of rebate mailing |
| 00-09 | May 16 |
| 10-18 | May 23 |
| 19-25 | May 30 |
| 26-38 | June 6 |
| 39-51 | June 13 |
| 52-63 | June 20 |
| 64-75 | June 27 |
| 76-87 | July 4 |
| 88-99 | July 11 |

My husband and I file jointly. Will our rebate check come jointly or will each of us get a separate check?

I filed using Turbo Tax in February, and opted for direct deposit. According to the last 2 digits of my SSN I thought the rebate would have been deposited into my checking account on 5/2/08. It's 5/6/08 and I still do not have it. It was explained that all one had to do to receive a rebate was to file for 2007, which I did. Please advise.

To Dakotah:
A couple of possibilities -
- You may be on the paper check schedule instead of the direct deposit schedule. If Turbo Tax deducted fees or you got a rapid refund in 2007, you'll get a paper check instead, per the IRS.
- Do you owe money to the IRS, a student loan, child support or the state of Missouri? If so, your stimulus payment will be used to satisfy those obligations first.

The last 2 digits of my SS# fall between 00-20 so my direct deposit rebate should have been sent on May 2, 2008. It is now May 14 and I have not received. Who can I contact about the problem.

says:
May 21, 2008 3:46 pm
So if you used Turbo Tax and got back a rapid refund, then you can expect your refund to be mailed to you instead of direct deposited? We sould have recieved our by May 16 and have no idea where it is! We have not recieved a notice yet either that we will be getting a refund, but meet all the requirements! Help!

What if your stimulus check has been returned for undeliverable reason? What do I do now? How long will it take?
says:
June 22, 2008 8:04 am
The last two numbers of my social security Number is 42. Still no sign of rebate, when according to the list above I should have by now. Has there been a delay in distribution? Where can I go to find out if there has been a delay or indeed if I am getting a rebate check at all. I filed early and I was expecting my rebate by mail.
