Stimulus Rebate Checks: Where Is The Money?
Here's some shit I just found out
By Araksya Karapetyan
If you haven't received your stimulus rebate check by now, several things may be holding up your money.
If you're going by the social security schedule, then checking your bank account, and the money just isn't showing up, and you don't understand why. The problem could be this.
While you're expecting your payment to be direct deposited, its not coming that way.
A lot of the confusion, can be about this.
If you used sites like Turbo Tax or Tax Cut, and chose to have your tax preparation fees deducted from your return, you'll be getting a paper stimulus check, even if you chose direct deposit for your return.
So again, unless you paid for your prep fees with a credit or debit card and had your entire return direct deposited, you'll be getting a paper check. And those will start being mailed out Friday, May 16.
You're also going to get a paper check if you got a refund anticipation loan from a company like H&R Block. Or, if you asked the IRS to deposit your tax return into more than one bank account.
If you fall into any of these categories be patient, your check will be arriving in the mail in the coming weeks, and not by direct deposit.
Another thing to keep in mind, if you filed you tax return close to or on April 15th, the deadline, it may not have been processed right away, and you have to get your tax return before you get your stimulus payment, so that can also set you back a few weeks.

Through the wonders of modern technology, some of those federal economic stimulus checks are being deposited directly into recipients' bank accounts.
But some are not - and are instead winding up in the bank accounts of complete strangers.
"We do know of instances of problems; we've heard of situations where stimulus checks have gone to the wrong people's bank accounts," conceded Kevin McKeon, the Internal Revenue Service spokesman for the New York region. "We're getting a lot of calls to the toll-free number."
One local taxpayer, who asked not to be identified, reported that he had discovered an unexpected deposit of $1,800 in his bank account. He said a review of his bank records revealed that it was a deposit from the IRS bearing another taxpayer's Social Security number. He said he contacted the IRS and was told by an agent that the deposit was one of 15,000 misrouted checks sent out incorrectly as a result of a computer programming glitch.
McKeon said he could not confirm that figure or that a computer problem was responsible.
The stimulus checks are for up to $600 for a qualifying single taxpayer, $1,200 for a couple filing jointly, and $300 additional per child. Distribution began in late April, starting with taxpayers who had requested electronic deposits, and are continuing in weekly waves based on the ending digits in Social Security numbers. Paper checks will be sent out in the same way up until July 11.
"Overall, the vast majority of stimulus payments are going out timely and accurately to taxpayers," the IRS said in a statement issued in response to questions from Newsday. "To date more than 29 million stimulus payments totaling more than $27 billion have been issued.
"As taxpayers contact us with questions regarding the amount or the timing of their own stimulus payment, the IRS is providing answers and resolving taxpayer-specific issues."
McKeon directed those awaiting stimulus or 2007 tax refund checks to irs.gov/indi viduals/article/0, id=96596,00.html, or the toll-free service Refund Hotline at 800-829-1954.
