Tax Rebates To Arrive Earlier Than Expected





Those of you eagerly awaiting your tax rebate checks will rejoice at the Treasury Department's announcement that they're depositing the checks ahead of schedule. Their original announcement stated that May 2 would be rebate check opening day, but they've updated their schedule with the early start date of Monday, April 28.

If the IRS has your direct deposit information then your check will be deposited earlier than those who will receive their check in the mail. However, the mailed checks will also be sent a week ahead of schedule and mailings will begin on May 9. All rebates will be distributed according to the last two digits of your social security number as originally stated. While the IRS hasn't come out with a new schedule, I've updated their old one to reflect the newly announced dates. To see an updated estimated schedule just read more

I'm cashing mine and spending $150 of it on weed before I douse the rest in lighter fluid and burn it. Fuck stimulating the economy. When we're re-distributing federal monies to civilians and large lending corporations to keep capitalism afloat, it ceases to be capitalism. And it sure as hell isn't good socialism either. In fact I don't know what it is but some fucked up hybrid economic bullshit designed to protect the interests of the wealthy who saw the writing on the wall. Fuck that, I'm burning that cash and hoping the third world comes to America.

False. Rather than rely on MSN, go to the IRS' site (http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html) which says:


DIRECT DEPOSIT

Last two SSN digits -- Payments will be transmitted no later than:
00 through 20 -- May 2

False.

New York Times story dated today: "The Treasury Department plans to send electronic rebates to nearly 7.7 million people by the end of this week, said Andrew DeSouza, a spokesman for the department." (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/29/washington/29stimulus.html?ref=us)

7.7 million people does not represent everyone who filed electronically. The rebates ARE going out earlier than planned but only ppl with SSN's ending in 00-20 get them "NO LATER THAN" this week.

I usually give those guys false information.

When those Nigerians send me those letters telling me I've won a bunch of $$, I'll give them a false name, etc. And sometimes send them forms that are nonsense.

[spursfan09]

ok quick question.
um have to give alittle background before I ask...

My dad claims me on his tax return, because I am a college student. However I also worked last year and filed my own tax return. Will I get my own check, and will my dad get money for claiming me as well? Or will I get only one of those checks?

[Dex]

If you filed and got a tax return, you should get a stimulus check.

Your Dad, on the other hand. is going to jail for fraudulently claiming you on his taxes. Maybe the 600 will cover his bail.

[Dex]

Seriously though...

http://www.moneybluebook.com/breaking-down-the-details-of-the-2008-economic-stimulus-plan-and-your-tax-rebate-check/


4) Who Is Excluded From Receiving An Economic Stimulus Rebate Check?

If you are a single individual who earned more than $87,000, or if you are a married couple that earned over $174,000 for the year, you are likely excluded from receiving a rebate check, unless you can otherwise claim any extra child rebates. Keep in mind that the child rebates can also be phased depending on how much your adjusted gross income exceeds the income threshold.

If you’re a young college student who had earned income for 2007 but are claimed as a dependent under your parent’s tax return, you are ineligible for the tax rebate as well.

Under the Senate approved proposal, illegal immigrants will also not be eligible to receive tax rebate checks for obvious reasons.

Looks like I might have spoke too soon. :(

There have been a few of us with this question and it's a bunch of crap. If this type of thing ever comes through the house/senate/president again this is the one they need to fix. College students need that money! :madrun

Why your not paying taxes every pay check like us. You guys already get hand outs in the form of Financial Aid and Grants.

[Dex]

America just made me glad I'm no longer a college student.

I'm not sure if that's quite what they were going for, but okay, Uncie Sam.

dont be a dependent. I was a college student and a non dependent back in the day.

either blame

a) yourself for mooching so much

b) your parents for claiming you

Should say

21-75 May 5-9
76-99 May 12-16

The majority of checks each week come out on Friday, about a third come out on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of each week (but not Thursday). Didn't get mine yet so expect it on Friday.

But these are supposed to be direct deposit, which should be the day of. Checks arent happening till later.

[TheTruth]

Yeah, it should say the week of. They are depositing them starting on that monday thru friday. I'm scheduled for this week, so it looks like it'll be deposited on Friday.

[spursfan09]

If you filed and got a tax return, you should get a stimulus check.

Your Dad, on the other hand. is going to jail for fraudulently claiming you on his taxes. Maybe the 600 will cover his bail.


No since I live under his roof and I am under the age 24 he gets to claim me even though I work part time.

[spursfan09]

Seriously though...

Alright! Hit me this morning. I am going out to buy me the biggest, most super-duper, fancy schmancy, double whammy washer and dryer there is! Got the new cabinets already, the new floor and paint: my laundry room will be the classiest room in my whole house!!!!

It'll be a great start. What ticks me off about the new w/d's is after you drop $1K+ on one of the new washers they expect you to drop another $200 on the matching pedastal. GMAFB, it's a piece of tin propped up to make a stand.

We got one of the first Neptune washers when they came out, about 8 years ago, and my wife has sworn by it ever since. Hope you are as happy with your new purchase.

[SpursWoman]

I heart my Whirlpool Duet. :spin

you know you are getting old when the government gives you $600 and you want to go out and buy a washing machine....I'm not quite there yet

Things change. I pretty much surprised myself when on my 10th wedding anniversary when my husband showed up with diamonds and what I really wanted was a trash compacter!!

[tlongII]

Please send your stimulus checks to me. I will absolve you of your sins, stimulate you, whatever. Just send your checks to me. Thank you.

lol I'm getting there. I got a bonus and decided to buy a new dresser

[Big P]

Got it!!!

[Dex]

Goddamn you social security number. I want to stimulate the economy now, not later!

The worst part is, I could afford to go ahead and get what I want now, and it won't make a difference once the deposit comes in.

But until I actually see that $600 from Uncle Sam sittin in my account, I have a hard time counting on it.

[CavsSuperFan]

2k should be more than suffice to get the latest & greatest washer & dryer…There are few things more attrative than a lady doing laundry…Sounds like a great Mothers Day present…

Yeah. Gender roles and domestic steretypes sure are sweet.

[Shelly]

I'm with you, Mrs M. As soon as my washer and dryer crap out, I'm buying the fanciest thing out there.

Now if they'd only come out with a dryer that folds clothes too, I could die a happy woman.

[mrsmaalox]

Yeah. Gender roles and domestic steretypes sure are sweet.

Hey if someone wants to give a compliment about the most dreaded drudgery of my life.....I really don't think anyone is taking these comments too seriously! :)

I got nothing yet. Do you think it is because I filed on 4/15?

[CubanMustGo]

I got nothing yet. Do you think it is because I filed on 4/15?

Probably - if you filed 4/15 they probably didn't process it for a couple of weeks by which time it was too late to make the cutoff for this week. And you did specify direct deposit? If not you'll get a paper check later.

Got mine today which means the guy who came out and tiled the kitchen floor and backsplash will get paid on-time. He likes that.

[florige]

Well I e-filed and got my refund in 2 wks. Yeah, it was direct deposited. So hope to have it by next week or at least before we go on vacation so I can pay for gas.

[Thunder Dan]

got mine...baaaallllin

[purist]

did y'all use a third party to file your taxes? i.e. turbo tax or hrblock? I understand that may cause a delay because the direct depost went to a third party in these cases and as such you will receive a check via mail. Don't know if it's true though.

TaxCut (HRBlock), no delay.

Most e-File is done through third parties anyway.

Most e-File is done through third parties anyway.

HR Block newsletter online says that if you used TaxCut and had the fees deducted from your return instead of paying up front, you will receive a manual check, not direct deposit.

So it depends on how you paid for the service.
