Inevitable 'Didn't Get' EPS thread

Anonymous — Sat, 03 May 2008 14:38:45 GMT

So, this is the inevitable "I didn't get an economic stimulus rebate" check thread.

So why didn't you get yours and do you know what to do about it?

I'm clueless. It just didn't happen and that IRS link that has been going around does nothing. I'm not the mosy ME person there is but I was sure interested in getting a peice of this pie.

I'm not going to get it because my wife has an ITIN. There is nothing I can do about it but I think that it is pretty unfair that I don't get any of the money for what I have earned. I don't want any money for my wife because she doesnt pay any taxes but I should get something! If I file without my wife, I would owe almost as much as the single rebate of $600.

Do you mean you didn't get it because you didn't qualify or you were supposed to have gotten one and haven't received it yet?

Not everyone, actually only a few, have received theirs yet.

What IRS link? The calculator? The "where is my stimilus payment" ? The payment schedule?

The "where is my stimilus payment" feature that allows you to check the status of your payment will NOT work until AFTER your payment should have been issued.

I think everybody here already knows all these things.

I qualify. I'm in the lowest numbers. I mailed mine. I have direct deposit. I didn't get the the money as perscibed. The "where is" link went dumb on me.

This is the "I was supposed to get. I didn't get it" thread.

Sorry, I was only trying to help. I didnt know why you hadn't gotten one or what batch you were in, I didn't go read all your previous post. Your initial post only said you didn't get it and didn't know what to do about it. I thought you wanted some assistance.

However, by your resposne I can only assume you don't wish to have assistance, you only wish to complain b/c you have no money in your account. I'll leave it to you to figure out why you haven't gotten it and what to do about. Not sure the point of the post.

Sorry that I didn't know that "didn't get" meant you were supposed to and didn't instead of maybe meaning you weren't going to get one. Bad on me for trying to clarify that.

As for "everyone already knowing these things" , if you were meaning that everyone already knew what I mentioned, well then I would have to wonder why there are thread after thread regarding the stimulus payment.

How does anyone know they are already "suppose" to have gotten their check? I remember reading that issuing all the payments is going to take 3-4 months. Last payments will be going out in late July.

It's not our fault we're just trying to be a sounding board...don't get angry if you don't like the answer...would you prefer we tell you that the government is trying to "stick it to you"? No you wanted to know why...and they were trying to help you.

This is a quote from the other thread. You mailed in what you owed.

beenthere wrote:
That is not necessarily true. If you e-filed with TurboTax your check will be mailed to you. I used Turbo Tax and mailed the IRS what I owed. In the filing process there was a provision calling for direct deposit information for the sole purpose of receiving a direct deposit of the stimulus check.

Here is a quote from the IRS website....pay close attention to the last sentence

Q. I filed my return on time, but I haven’t received my stimulus payment, even though the payment date listed for my Social Security number has passed. Why?

A. In general, the payment schedule only applies if your return was received and the IRS finished processing your return before April 15. If you filed your return on time, but close to the April 15 deadline, the IRS may not have finished processing it before April 15.

Processing times for tax returns and stimulus payments vary. If you are getting a regular income-tax refund, the IRS will send you that refund first. Normally, your stimulus payment will follow one to two weeks later.

If you are not expecting a regular tax refund, your stimulus payment should arrive a minimum of six weeks after you file.

Go to the IRS website and there is a payment schedule and it has it broken down by groups of last 2 digits of SS#, then it will say your payment will be mailed BY XXXXXX date.

After that XXXX date it is showing, you can use the "Where is my stimilus payment" feature.

I haven't gotten mine yet and it seems to tell me when I should:

Your total Stimulus payment was calculated as $600.00 and consists of the following:

* Basic Amount: $600.00.
* Qualifying Child Amount: $0.00 (Based on 0 qualifying children).

Your payment of $600.00 is scheduled to be deposited to your bank on May 6, 2008. If you do not receive the credit by May 11, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then.

It is showing for myself now as well.

I tried it the day they first put it up and it wouldn't work and I assumed it was for this reason:

A new, interactive, online tool, called Where’s My Stimulus Payment?, is now available for you to check the amount and status of your economic stimulus payment. However, please wait to use this tool until on or after the scheduled date of your payment as listed in the schedule (link above), since your payment information will not be available on the tool until that time.

Mine isn't due to be mailed until May 16th and is showing. So, maybe they have changed it.

05/06/2008 Deposit AUTOMATED CREDIT US TREASURY 220 TAX REFUND $600.00

Looks like the estimator was right for me.

I think its pretty absolute now. I qualified in every way to get 600 the first week. I just didn't get it. I'm not sure what route I'll have to take from here.

Re: Inevitable 'Didn't Get' EPS thread

athensguy — Tue, 06 May 2008 12:50:21 GMT

Didn't the estimator have some information on it about how to contact them if you haven't received your refund by 5 days after their estimated time of delivery?

There is a number that will show up after you complete that and it will give you a number and a reference code to call and check on your payment.

When did you file your taxes? You had to file in enough time for them to be PROCESSED BY April 15th in order for your payment to go out by the schedule.

Ah. "Where's My Stimulus Payment". I didn't understand Estimator.

I've been there mumerous times. After I input my 3 lines of information it just goes dumb on me. It tells me no information is available for me.

I just can't figure out what happened but from all I read, the IRS plans to start answering quetions next week some time. I'm sure I'm not the only qualified person whos funds are AWOL.

To add: Yeah. No number/nothing. Just "We are sorry"

I sent a paper filing by mail on or about March 1. My forms had provisions asking for specific information regarding direct deposit for the Economic Stimulus rebate. My SS is 1X. My check was processed March 15 with BoA.

I qualify on every front for direct deposit on the first week. I didn't get it and the provided link is idle. I don't know what direction I'm going to take. I'm sure I'll find a way to clear this up. I can't be the only person. Anyway, I'm not hurting for the money so I have time....thank goodness.

Thank you for the help!
