Nothing but problems with the IRS this year. First was unable to file using Torbo Tax because they said our newborns SS number was invalid, wrong, I had his card right in front of me. They actually wanted me to file my tax return without claiming him because it could take up to 6 wks to get the problem figured out, like I am going to do that. After countless hrs on phone and getting the run around from several diff. people, because it is impossible to talk to the same person twice, and faxing our taxes directly to the IRS, our situation was worked out. This was well after the deadline. Now it is Aug7 and we still have no stim check and have been unable to get ahold of anyone to figure out when or even if we will get it. My wife and I are hard working people with 5 wonderful children and desperately need this money. Its funny that the people that this was designed to help seem to be the ones who are not getting the gift from the government. Oh well, guess the gov feels I dont need it.

Posted by: Christy Location: Texas on Jul 18, 2008 at 02:33 PM
We still have not received our stimulus check. We haven't even receive a letter stating that it is coming. We were supposed to have it mail out on June 20th according to the last two digits of our social...but it is now mid July and we have nothing. The hotline number on the irs.gov site is not working...we can't get any live person for help. Does anyone know who to contact about this matter? The last two digits of my husbands social is 61. Please help!

UPDATE: Received my award letter Saturday. I just wanted to update here to let all know that the DRIVERS LICENSE address having to be the same as check address is BS! It is a Scare tactic designed to make you worry for nothing and those who made it up should not even be allowed to post here at all.

The last four digits of my Social Security number is 62, meaning that my stimulis check should have been here on June 20th. Why havent it arrived yet?

Posted by: Maria Location: Fort Worth on Jul 8, 2008 at 01:04 PM
I filed electronically for 2007 and thought I was going to recieve it on or about May 16, because I got a return electronically, but I got a letter in the mail stating I would recieve on July 11? Also the last time a stimulas check was done I did not recieve one and should have. How do I go about it.
Posted by: Dave Location: Ky Boondocks on Jul 8, 2008 at 12:43 PM
I wish there was something about the drivers liscense address having to be the same in the "Stimulas Tax Packet" i received when i filed my papers. I would have never wasted my time if i knew i could NOT receive a payment because i didn't drive!!!!!!!!!!! sheeeezzzz! what a waste of time and hopes!!
Posted by: knowitsgood on Jul 8, 2008 at 08:21 AM
i just wanted to inform those who were scheduled to rec'v their check on the fourth of july like myself, I did rec'v my check on yesterday (MOnday). So it was about a day or two late according to their letter from the irs and the scheduled that is on line. For those that still waiting I would most definitely try to call or myabe wait until after 7/11 (all checks are to be mailed by this day.

And you people want the Government to manage Health Care. They cannot run the Passport Dept. let alone tell you when you will get your check.
Posted by: Yolanda P. Rodriguez Location: San Jose Ca on Jul 3, 2008 at 12:48 PM
I haven't gotten my Stimulus Check. The date that your suppose to send it falls on a holiday, and that's not good. How do I find out if it's on it's way. You see I wanted to go to Texas for the fourth of july weekend. I am off work right now and go back to work on monday. So I got stuck staying home for the weekend. I am very dissapointed!

This is not fair at all....i received a letter stating my check would be mailed the beginning of may, and of course i have not received it as of july 2, 2008...the letter i got said if u do not receive it by the date above to call the tool free number...GOOD LUCK..the number is always busy. i have tried different times a day and night. i try calling my local irs office, they have a recording saying to call the same toll free number...this is a joke. many people , such as myself, are also out of work and this check would help somewhat....but u can not get any help from anyone.. the recording tells u to look at this website...i have nevered been so disappointed in our gov. as i am now. try getting an extension for umemployment, thats a joke..watch our senate at work. talk about doing nothing but stalling when issues come up..it's nothing but a game they play: dems against reps. and we the people are the ones in the middle.

Posted by: Crystal Location: Maine on Jun 26, 2008 at 09:41 PM
Someone said that if your address did not match your license, you would not be getting a check. That's not correct, my husband who is in the Navy holds a license from another state and we have gotten our notification letters, which means they have the correct address. Now hopefully we'll get the check soon!
Posted by: gerald Location: il on Jun 26, 2008 at 05:38 PM
yes id like to know where my payment is. It was due june 6th, so whats taking so long? maybe if you people were more organized there wouldnt be a problem so why dont you people hurry the hell up.

My 18 year son claimed himself on his taxes. He should not have done this since we, the parents, claim him. He received a $300 check. He should not have received this money, we, the parents, should have. What do I do about this before he gets into trouble?

What # do you call to find out about your stimulas check
Posted by: Rosanna Location: Rochester, WA on Jun 24, 2008 at 06:41 PM
I filed my taxes in both 2006 and 2007 and I didn't receive a letter saying that I am eligable for a Stimulus Payment. We did move and I did put in an address change about a month ago.
Posted by: karen on Jun 23, 2008 at 10:56 PM
I just found out last week that the IRS is actually 1 week ahead. It said I should receive it by 06/26/2008 and already received on 06/21/2008. I heard the same thing about the address being correct on your record but if you are not at the same address you have to make sure you have a updated forwarding address set up with the post office.
Posted by: Kathy Jacobs Location: Battle Creek,MI on Jun 23, 2008 at 09:02 PM
I received mine on the exact date that I was supposed to. Guess I was one of the lucky ones. But, it was gone before I knew it (within a couple of hours). It was not enough. Single working women need more than just $300.00. So do the elderly.
Posted by: Kristen Location: WASHINGTON STATE on Jun 23, 2008 at 06:59 PM
JASON. ANYONE. You said if our drivers license address is not the same as our tax return we will not get the check? Then, why did I get the letter saying I would be getting it in the mail in a few days?? My addresses don't match. Help!! AM I NOT GETTING IT?????? :( :( :(

Checked on the return of my Stimlus Refund. was told I did not quilify, I'm 100% Service Connected Veteran? When Will I receive my Check?
Posted by: barb on Jun 22, 2008 at 12:29 PM
Ben I was looking at your comments about your return being mailed out on 06/06/2008 and they are stating they cant track it until 06/26/2008. The reason for that is they have a database for all returned checks and it takes about 3 weeks for it to be entered in once it has been returned. If it was mailed out on 06/06/2008 you should have had it by now so I am sure it was returned and that is why they can't track it because they don't see it in their database. The reason it will take several weeks to get another check out is because they will now have to veify your address of record from your license and postmaster before they can send out another check. I dont know if this helps but I can totally understand your frustration!
Posted by: James Location: lansing on Jun 22, 2008 at 12:17 PM
I see many people were stating they have not received their checks yet. I just wanted to let people know (and probably most do)that if your address on your drivers license is not the same address on your tax return and you have not updated your address with the post office, you will not receive it.
Posted by: twinklez Location: waianae,hi on Jun 21, 2008 at 03:14 PM
did any1 with ssn#98 recieve there stimulus check yet
Posted by: Andy Location: Huntsville on Jun 20, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Just spoke with the IRS and they asked me when I sent my tax return in which I did on April 15th because I had to pay, so they just processed my tax for 07. i was informed to give it 4 more weeks, so I take it that it also depends on when you sent in your taxes for 07 to when you get your check, they are behind
Posted by: Andy Location: Huntsville on Jun 20, 2008 at 12:05 PM
Mine was to be mailed june 6th also, Still no check
Posted by: CANDIDA Location: GAINESVILLE GA on Jun 19, 2008 at 12:16 PM
I thank both God and the government for the check. I dont see where anyone can complain we all have financial woes at this time. Risisng gas prices make it difficult to go anywhere and due to trucks increase on hauling everything is else is up as well. We all know this and the checks are just a way of the government trying to help a little. Take it in good faith and be grateful.

Posted by: Jenny on Jun 18, 2008 at 12:46 PM
Its great when they tell you that you are geting a check but you can not find out a darn thing, that government for you.
Posted by: Ben Location: Ohio on Jun 17, 2008 at 11:57 PM
Mine was supposed to have been mailed out on June 6th...I waited a few days...still no check. So I called the IRS, spent about an hour on the phone waiting..got someone. Found out mine was mailed on May 26th(Memorial Day??) Well its June 18th. I am behind in bills...need the money. THEy are now telling me they can't do anything until June 26th to even track it which will take sev. weeks before they can send me a new one. So...I just simply have no idea what to say or think. Has anyone else who's check was supposed to be mailed on June 6th received theirs yet?
Posted by: Mel Location: Los Angeles on Jun 17, 2008 at 12:58 AM
The check is a joke. I am a single male who can't afford a house in the Los Angeles Market making over 50,000 a year. I owe more in taxes every year then the amount of this check. If Uncle Sam thinks I'm going to spend it on him then he better bring down the price of gas. The average price of gas in Los Angeles is $4.60 a gallon. I feel like I never get ahead and the government doesn't care. It's all smoke and mirrors. What does it say about a president who bookends his "legacy" by stimulus package. See...I bet you forgot that there was the first one when he first took office. See how well that worked for us!
Posted by: Angela Location: Oregon on Jun 16, 2008 at 06:40 PM
Wow, it looks like alot of people have not recieved their check, yet. What is the hold up? I'm one of the last one to get one, so we shall see if it will get here or not in several weeks. Did any of you get a letter regarding when you would get your check? I hear some did.

Okay, about the single mother thing. Did you guys even read what she said, or are you too busy judging? She said she needs the money, but she is willing to wait and is telling people who are complaining to patient. Can you people read? Laurie, thanks for saying some nice about it.
Posted by: Sam Location: Salt lake on Jun 13, 2008 at 02:47 PM
I heard that their was a list on the local newspaper of people who were not getting their stimulus check because they didnt have an address to be sent to I have looked in the websites and nothing does anyone know if that is true?

Posted by: laurie Location: newton nj on Jun 13, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Why are you all coming down on the single mother? Do you know her situation? Maybe she is widowed, or some other reason that you are not aware of. And get this, she isn't the one complaining about the money! What a bunch of spoiled brats! Leave her alone already, and apologize for your behavior!

Well I'm just surprised that the gov. is giving us anything. Everything goes up except the pay. This will be some relief but not much. It's all going on all the bills that we are behind on anyway. I hope we get some time this year.
Posted by: Samantha Location: Brooklyn on Jun 11, 2008 at 03:36 PM
I recieved my tax return direct deposit. So I should have had me stimulus check by May 9th. My parents direct deposited also but they recieved there's in the mail. So does this mean that I'll get mine in the mail June 27th? Sure am confuse about how this is working.

I haev not received a tax rebate yet and the last two digits of my social is 07 and i believe i should recieve one it was for low income people and i was 1 dollar short so they said i couldnt have one that i didnt qualify...............
Posted by: M Lambe Location: New York on Jun 10, 2008 at 09:40 AM
Just a quick question, has anyone at all received a paper check I hear ones that received direct deposit but have not read of any that received an actual paper check. It seems this whole stimulus is out of control some received theirs and others who should have gotten it are still waiting.

K.smith, I agree about the single mother of two with a third on the way, ridiculous, I'm sure she does need money, but mabe she might want to find a way to not be single with a fourth on the way and she may not have to depend on something so much, that she is lucky to even be getting.
Posted by: k. smith Location: new jersey on Jun 9, 2008 at 04:44 PM
first of all why is that lady single with two and about to have another one(single)now that's ridiculous...anyway this is kind of crazy everything is going up and we are the ones getting hit hard...generally we all need our money that's the bottom line....

Posted by: Ann Location: Rochester, NY on Jun 8, 2008 at 07:17 PM
We were supposed to get our check direct deposited on May 9th, 2008. Is that still supposed to happen, or are we to get it in the mail. If so it should be here by June 13th. This is ridiculous.

If you used E-filing, and had the charges for same withheld from your refund, IRS will not use direct deposit for your stimulus payment.

Which one of you took my check? I'm serious, who took my check?! If one of you removed a check from a mailbox with peeling pink (salmon-colored) paint, which was standing on the edge of a yard full of tires, dogs, children, flamingoes, and other grotesqueries, I'd like it returned please. NOW. (Actually, tomorrow will work just fine.) Thank you. PS You may keep any court notices, bills, or letters from my personal stalker (Ted) that you may have found in the mailbox as well. Thanks again.

OMG there are so many of us who never received our checks it pathetic. To me this stimulas check is a joke. There is no way this is going to bring our economy back. Bush needs to stop worrying about fixing other countries and giving them trillions of dollars and worry about his country. He disgust me on representing our country. Im sorry but no president has ever done such a terrible job on repin our country. I'd rather have no government at all. All they seem to do is care about their money. They don't care about our planet nor the people on it. I am 18 and I will be damned if I let the past generation give us no shot at a beautiful world. Growing up it was lovely but now... I wish I could of been born in the early 60s. At least people still had a voice. I have been trying to get mine out here since I was 16 but Bush was too busy sweeping things under the rug and stuffing his pockets. What ever happened to people that actually care about what life really is.

if you used turbo tax and had your filing fees deducted from your return, you will be getting a check in the mail, and not direct deposit. Of course I didn't find this out till the day I thought the money was supposed to be deposited. Turbo tax sent me an email, on that day, and told me that.

To many people are blaming Jennifer Grandholm for the problems in Michigan. Maybe they should go back and blame the right people. Grandholm did not bring on the trouble that Michigan is going through!!! She inherited all the problems. Also everything that she has tryed is voted down by our congressmem and senators. Thank them for the mess in Michigan. Also Grandholm has nothing to do with the stimulas checks. That is a federal thing. Support our govenor for a change, get mad at those's deserve it.
Posted by: Denny Location: Lansing on May 27, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Um, Jennifer Granholm has nothing to do with these checks, they are from the federal government. And if you didn't do direct deposit you are not getting it until next month. It isn't a joke, you'll get yours just be patient.

Real nice to see all the commercials telling us about the Stimulas Check, yet i know no one who recieved theirs as of yet. my #s are 07 filed on time and no direct deposit and still no $$$$$s yet . Jennifer Grandholm is Michigans biggest jokes, good people are leaving Michigan because of her.

To Matt and others who do not want Their tax money back, send it to me, it will help me out. This is a RETURN OF YOUR OWN MONEY, The Government has no money of it's own. They have your money. I believe Americans should be much more ProActive in controlling how our money is spent (wasted) by politicians who pretend to represent us. PUT THEM ON A STRICT BUDGET ! Force them to give account for their every vote. The money wasted by our Gov. is the main reason we are being extorted at the gas pumps. Our Dollar has lost 1/2 to 2/3 it's value since 2005, based upon the price of gold, oil etc . . . Wake up politicians, we are not fools, only a bit Lazy.

If you got a rapid refund that was direct deposired into your bank account, then you will not get a stimulous check through direct deposit. you will get a paper check in the mail, the rapid refund messed you up because that comes from a third party(a loan) not from the federal govt.Your paper check will arrive according to you last 2 digits of your ss#

funny how everone finds these websited and cant make it the the irs.gov. it answers almost all these questions. If your tax liability (figured on your adjusted gross income) is less than the max amount you get that amount. Noone is guaranted 600 per individual and 300 per child go to irs.gov with your 2007 tax return and use the stimulus calculator and it should be accurate as to what you are getting. However if you have a tax dept or past due child support they are going to keep to pay the debt.

Tina, I'm pretty sure it doesn't take pushing a button to direct deposit millions of dollars to everyone in the US. They are not doing this for "fun" or because they "hate" you, they have legitimate problems, so give them time.

what I don't get about the irs is why they can't process direct deposit and paper checks with ss # at the same time. Makes no sense to me just do the entire group of ss # at one time some go direct others drop to checks. I mean isn't the goal to get the money in people hands NOW!!! I guess they aren't that smart

Posted by: Michele Location: Massachusetts on May 19, 2008 at 02:10 PM
Troy, Have you gone on the irs website and used the tracker, you enter your social, filing status and exemptions and it will tell you when your payment is going, it will only work if your payment is due to go out with the next 2 weeks. I am assuming you may not be getting a direct deposit as you thought, you may be getting a check for some reason.

I am writing about the stimulus check that I haven't got yet, and how hard the IRS is making it to find information about my stimulus check. If you go by their schedule I was suppose to get my check on May 2. It is now May 19 and I still have not got my check into my direct deposit yet. I tried calling the number on the letter that the IRS sent me, but I am only getting a machine telling me to go on line to look up the expected time for my check to arrive. How do I find out were my check is if the IRS is not taking phone calls, and their web site is no help at all? Thank you for listing to me complaint. Sincerely Troy Miller

Posted by: Ben on May 16, 2008 at 09:30 AM
It wouldn't be a big deal about the money if the Government would have been realistic about what to expect. They tell us it will be deposited by May 9th (for my SS#) and here it is a week later and I don't have it. I'm one of the people that filed in early Feb electronically! People are throwing a fit because its not here when they tell them it will be, and some of us budget around things like that.
Posted by: Kim Location: Jackson, Mi on May 16, 2008 at 07:23 AM
I think what is bothering most people, is that the government issued this statement with the schedule and the $ amounts and most of that is erroneous. Yes people have counted their chickens before they've hatched ~ that's because of the economy! Somebody tells you they're giving you "FREE" money ~ you look forward to it! They just didn't give ALL the details up front. Also, you can check the IRS website and find out exactly how much you are getting. Which I did, and I found out I'm not getting the additional $300 for my teenage son because he turned 17 before January 31, 2008! So it just makes it frustrating ~ How can it 'stimulate the economy' when they are giving them out over a 2 1/2 month time period and they're not going out when originally stated?

when a couple files jointly..how does the gov't figure on two varying s.s numbers..last two digits of each are different?

What they don't tell you is that some of the people who used Turbo Tax and had automactic deposit, will get a paper check, I was on the phone (hold) for 30 mintues to find out why I didn't get my deposit yet. I was told ther had been a problem with the Turbo Tax program and I would be getting a paper check.

Still waiting, supposed to get check on the 9th direct deposit, whats going on? I havent recieved that letter stating the amount and date either, i'm getting worried. I recieved the first letter back in Feb. but that is it. Does anybody know?
Posted by: Denny Location: Lansing on May 14, 2008 at 02:42 PM
you people are crazy. Quit complainging because you are getting your FREE check a little later than you wanted. Stop saying our gov. is terrible just because they have MILLIONS of checks to send out and they had problems. I'm sure it's a lot harder than it seems. Just be patient...

We received our money, direct deposit, on 5/9, the day it was promised. Unfortunately, it won't be stimulating the economy; it'll stimulating my credit rating! It's all gone straight to paying off bills.

Posted by: Lisa Location: Kalamazoo,Mi on May 14, 2008 at 07:58 AM
i have not got mine either but if you are going to recive one you should have gottin a letter a long time ago about 3 months ago saying that you would recive one if you did not get that letter then you will not be getting a check. i should have gottin mine one the 9 but as far as i know it is still not in my account yet.i know some people have not gottin theres and they have recived a letter telling them that they would be getting a check insted of the derect depost so i dont know whats goiong on with it its all messed up just like our gov. is.

Ithink people should get there checks not by the last two ss numbers thats not wright to people who did there taxes early thay should go on the dates first done first served
Posted by: Heidi Location: Kalamazoo on May 13, 2008 at 02:12 PM
From what I hear out there, most people have counted their chickens before they have hatched. Thinking about how they are going to spend money that you haven't even received yet. Makes no sense to me. I work two jobs, in order to make ends meet and still am short on money for gas, bills, and everyday living. But I am not counting on this money to get me by. If it shows up great, if not at least I won't be disappointed.

My husband were suppose to recieve our checks on may 9 well we didn't get it and of today we still haven't. What is wrong?
Posted by: Denny Location: Lansing on May 13, 2008 at 12:57 PM
You will get a letter in the mail after you should have gotten your stimulus payment. If you didn't get your direct deposit, there is a number to call in the letter. If not go to the IRS.gov website and look for some of the information on the complications. This is A LOT more complicated than you guys think, of course there are going to be mistakes, but this isn't for "the rich" if anything, most people over a certain income will NOT receive any money. Educate yourself on the situation before getting upset with whats going on

We also thought that we would recieve around $1700. Both my husband and I work, filed married/joint and have 2 kids. We only recieved $600 plus the $300 for each child, we do appreciate it, but why were we told a different amount? If anyone knows what may have happened or a website that may answer this let me know.
Posted by: Karen Location: Michigan on May 12, 2008 at 05:07 PM
Can we charge them penalty for being late like they do us if not filed on time?
Posted by: david Location: Colorado Springs on May 12, 2008 at 05:03 PM
So you will get a paper check if you filied with Turbo Tax AND had your filing fees taken out of your refund. The IRS said the money you get is called an RAC ( Refund Anticipated Check) and that an RAC is an agreement between you and a bank. The bank gives you
