Still looking for that stimulus check

At the post office we found people still looking for that check in the mail. "I did not receive it yet, imagine that," Susan Ottenheimer said.

How do you know if you have direct deposit? Does it have to do with how you paid your taxes? I sent a check, so does that mean that I will get a check?

Who are they kidding, the check isn't worth the paper it is printed on, the govt wants you to think that they are giving back, when in reality, they will probably just raise taxes again next year, so essentially you are getting a loan, but you will be paying it back wih interest, and lots of it. It is no different than the price of gas, I want to puke every time I look at gas prices, if the govt dropped the price of gas nationally by $1.00 you would think that is a bargain, but in reality exxon/mobil is turning at least $14,000,000,000 per quarter in profit, until we as the taxpayers do something about all these liars in office, and they do something about the oil companies, this will never end.We are being driven off the cliff of recession and the car is being driven by our politicians, get the "oil man" out of the whitehouse, I also think it is time to cut foreign aid, our country is in a recession, why should we be lining the pockets of people who hate us anyway, who are probably using the money to assemble WMD's. Instead of giving free healthcare and education to the illegal immigrants, use that money for more armed border patrol to keep them out! I am not a hateful person, just someone who stays up at night worrying about my children's future.

You know that the money is only a loan you will have to claim it on next years taxes and pay it back to the government . they always have a way of sticking to the little people. but pay back is a *%$#@!*

Haven't recieved mine yet, supposed to be direct deposited by the 9th.

It seems the government's "stimulus rebate schedule" on irs.gov was just a cruel joke.

I was supposed to get $900.00 I got $300.00 I called the IRS they told me the error was theirs and I have to file a 1040X amended return to get the money for my kids, I mean seriously, what the hell is that all about? I triple checked my return before I filed and had my Aunt look at it too to make sure everything was correct. I was looking forward to that money, my kids need sneakers, clothes, they are growing out of everything and now I am hearing I may have to wait until July and it will be a paper check wtf? I wonder who they hired to handle the data input of these returns because they majorly screwed up and I have heard from several friends and acquaintances, same thing, they were screwed out of most of their stimulus, I am beginning to wonder if this is a big joke, sometime to shut up the American people about high gas prices, rising cost of food, heating oil etc

I didnt get my check, either. it was suppose to be direct deposited on the 9th. I read somewhere that they had some "technical" difficulties if you filed your taxes through another agency and they took out money for their services...that's what is the hold up.

According to my ss # and direct deposit of tax rebate; should have rec'd stimulus on the 9th. The IRS website can't answer where it is. A bummer. What agency can stimulate my stimulus payment?

I was informed by the IRS that since my filing fee was deducted from my tax return that I was going to be one of the last to receive the simulus check and that it would be sent to my home in check form. Good thing I didn't trust them to send it on May 9th like they said the first time.

It was supposed to be 600 bucks head of household, 1200 married couples and 300 additional for each child. I have no under age children but I only received 300 bucks instead of 600 head of household. And NO you dont have to report it on your taxes next year. But seriously who are they kidding this is OUR MONEY TO BEGIN WITH

I FINALLY got my check today. We were supposed to get it by last friday. We got a notice last week that if we were supposed to get it, by Friday 7/11/08 and if we did not get it within 6WEEKS to call them. So Melissa, hopefully you got that notice in the mail, and if you don't get your check with "6WEEKS!" call them.
