Before you receive your rebate check, find out: What is the best use of your IRS Rebate Check
Economic stimulus payments will be issued according to the last two-digits of the main filer’s Social Security number. People who use direct deposit also will be among the first to receive the payments starting May 2. Paper checks will be put in the mail starting May 16.
DIRECT DEPOSIT
| Last two SSN digits: | Payment will be transmitted: |
| 00 through 20 | May 2 |
| 21 through 75 | May 9 |
| 76 through 99 | May 16 |
PAPER CHECK
| Last two SSN digits: | Payments will be mailed by: |
| 00 through 09 | May 16 |
| 10 through 18 | May 23 |
|
19 through 25 |
May 30 |
| 26 through 38 | June 6 |
| 39 through 51 | June 13 |
| 52 through 63 | June 20 |
| 64 through 75 | June 27 |
| 76 through 87 | July 4 |
| 88 through 99 | July 11 |
People who file a return after April 15 will receive their economic stimulus payment, but probably about two weeks later than the schedule shows. A return must be filed by October 15 in order to receive a stimulus payment this year. See the online calculator for an estimate of the amount you will receive.

Great! So I am one of the last people to get my rebate check. I am in week 10.

This schedule has been updated since the last time I posted it. Your group is the same, but you will be receiving the check sooner.

I heard on the news the other day that they are going to send out the checks a week early. Direct deposite people should be getting their money a few days early as well.

When you get your stimulas check make sure everything is correct. There have been a number of cases where people did not get what they should have.

This states I should have received my direct deposit May 9. I haven’t received anything yet.
May 29th, 2008 at 9:52 am
In some cases the deposit maybe late. Especially if you haven’t paid your taxes yet. I got a letter from the IRS a few days ago with my expected rebate info as well as a disclamer stating that in some cases the deposit will be late.

@Donna – My sister was expecting a check as well May 9th and didn’t receive it. She seems to think she had direct deposit under her state tax return, but owed money on the Federal return.
Did you owe any money on either return?
I was scheduled to receive mine May 16th, and at 12:00am May 16th $600 was in my checking account.

when they say “mailed by July 4″ does that mean it’ll be put in the mail on the 3rd or is it possible to be mailed sooner?
June 17th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
It is possible that it is mailed sooner. When they say “mailed by July 4th” they mean they “guarantee” that it will be in the mail by the latest that day. I would expect the check a few business days after July 4th. If you don’t receive it, there is a hotline to call above.

I did not recive my payment on the 9th on May. Would love to know where it is . I have been out of work and really could use it. I never even got my state return

@jennifer I’m sorry to hear that. You are talking about this years Tax return right? Not this rebate check from last year?
If you didn’t receive a rebate check last year, I think you would get that back in your return this year. I wonder if there were any problems with your return as the reason you might not get it.

Great comment about investments

What about price? There’s a lot to be said for comparing the cost, since TurboTax adds up to cost quite a bit more.
April 26th, 2010 at 4:52 am
That depends on how complicated your return is. If your income is just from wages, and you don’t have your own business or own rental property or something like that, you’d probably be OK online.

Wassup thanks for the new cool post. It sure was super cool.
