SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - Did you get your Economic Stimulus check yet?
I checked the IRS website for a date. Then, on Monday, I anxiously checked my bank account. The Economic Stimulus check wasn't deposited yet. I noticed on our website
www.winknews.com we're getting a LOT of feedback from people wondering the same thing.
So I called the IRS, and in case you're wondering where your money is, here's the answer.
The IRS has revised some of the "language" about how they are releasing the money. If you're scheduled for the May 5th deposit date, the website now says they will have it transmitted no later than May 9th. So you could get it before the 9th, but the latest they'll send it is the 9th.
You can go to the IRS website and type in your info, and it will tell you when it should arrive and if you haven't received it by a certain date, you need to call them and ask where your money is.
www.irs.gov However, they say remember banks have different policies about when they record deposits. For instance, I know at Bank of America they record direct deposits and withdrawals at midnight. So if the IRS deposit any time today, it will show up in the account tomorrow.
The IRS says they are getting some "feedback" from people who haven't received theirs, but not a lot. They sent out 7 million payments last week.

I have read the good comments as well as the bad. How can I say this nicely? There are alot of you calling people "GREEDY"! There are people that work hard everyday. Most of them are just bringing in enough to pay their bills. The 'ECONOMY" is the one that has gotten "GREEDY". Not all of us were born with a silver spoon in our mouth,or sitting in the lap of luxuries. To call someone whom you do not know "GREEDY" is just telling me that the affects of the economy hasn't hit your pockets yet!!!!

Has anyone with an open child support case received the non-custodial parent's stimulus check? I was told the custodial parent would received this after the gov forward to child support. I am still waiting to see if I receive this, as his payment should have already been disbursted. Anyone get this yet?

and now the chick says I have to wait two weeks to file a complaint then switches her story to 4 weeks. Every other single person in my family, including my mother, whose last two digits place her in the last category to be mailed the check, have recieved their checks within a week at most from the day they were told they would recieve it, Here I am, 10 days later, even allowqing time for weekends and holidays, and no check. and no one can tell me why! Im a single, working college attending

I take offense at those who ridicule and insult people as greedy because they are perturbed that they havent recieved their tax rebates yet, If we Americans didnt pay our taxes on time, thered be hell to pay not to mention fees and fines, yet the IRS promises money at a certain time yet fails to deliver and were supposed to just sit back and take it? The gov has been ripping us off for years, just look at raising food and gas rates, so yes we ARE entitled to this money! And in a timely manner!

Can i just go to China to try to find my horribly late and seemingly missing stimulus check? Because thats where its really coming from anyway. Just another step on the stairs of the US dollar collapse. But no worries....we will just go ahead and buy some flat screen tvs (made in China) from that money (borrowed from China).

my SS# ends in 01. thats right, first on the list, its not JULY 1ST and I still have not received my check. The IRS site, sends me to fone, which is FULLY automated, which just tells you to check the website. If I try to check status on site OR phone, It says information not available. Im in Naples, and my closest office is FT. Myers, their number is just a message stating to make a walk in appointment and thats all. You have NO option to speak to anyone at ANY #. Frustrating

So if we are screwed, then the rest of the world will be to. You should be so lucky us GREEDY so called AMERICANS are around. Where would be be if not? Speaking German, maybe Japanese???

Greedy Americans - this is why your country is so screwed, because of your sense of entitlement! Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. And for those around you. You are not "entitled" to anything more than you make with your own hands and mind. You are stealing from future generations - not just yours, but all of ours around the world, by eating up all of our resources, too, and polluting our grandchildren's world. And you wonder why we hate you?

most of you guys seem just a bit greedy. this money is not owed to us. i know i am overjoyed that i'm getting the check at all. and yes i'm getting a little antsy waiting for the $600, but i'm not going to rant and rave about how terrible the government is over it. we should all just be a little grateful, instead of always wanting more. no one can really say he or she "needs" this check. you got by before you knew you were getting extra cash, didn't you? don't spend money you don't yet have.

I owed the IRS $65. I mailed in my 2007 return with my check. They cashed my check on April 9th. I called to ask where my stimulus check was and they said I did not file a 2007 return. I then indicated yes I did and you cashed my check for $65 dollars. They saw that I paid $65 but don't know what happened to my return. YIKES

I think the whole stimulus thing is a joke anyways. I'll take the free money, but doesn't anyone know the term "hush money" when they see it. The government wants us to quit whining so they throw us a bone, a really small one, and then raise the cost of milk, gas, electric, bread, and generally everything else. And I still have yet to recieve my check, I was told I would be one of the first to recieve one because of my ssn. Why am I not surprised that it's June and its still not here?

Well, I am a single mom with 2 children in college. I received $300.00. My children filed seperately also, but, because I can claim them on mine, they are 20 and a full time student I don't get anything for them and they don't receive anything because they are claimed on mine. How many college students got cheated out of their money because a parent can claim them. I also thought I was getting 600.00 big surprise. What can you do with $300.00 now days one trip for food and gas an it is gone.

The last I figured out about the amounts is that those people that made income sufficient to pay over $600 in taxes will get the whole $600 back. Those of us who don't make enough to have a tax liability get the minimum of $300. Way to go Congress: them that needs more gets less. As usual.

How is the stimulus check determined as to how much a married couple gets, filing jointly? We are both retired, living on a fixed income. Do you have to be in a certain income bracket, to get the $1200.00?

Johnny, If whiteman is so bad, why are you using the drugs that they created. Stop taking the insulin analog for you diabetes, and stop getting the morphine. Native Americans do a lot of complaining on their tax free reservations, coming off to work at an American job, so they can pay for their huge houses and electricity. Native Americans did not have this before whiteman. If you want to complain, go to the res, set up a tent and go back to hunting and gathering, like it was before whiteman

Talk about a cheap government. Now many of you know how our people (Native Americans) felt when the Whiteman gives his word. It can not be trusted. Has no interity. We, this American veteran that has fought in the wars the whiteman started also got crapped on. The IRS took the money we. both retired-wife and I,were depending on to fill our cupbords with food, help pay our rent, trash and water. Mainly buy foods.

I used the free H N R Block program online and had the fee deducted out of my checking account. I have already received my stimulus check by direct deposit. So it all depends on what you used. If you are claimed as a dependent on someone elses taxes you will not get a check on matter how long you have worked.

After waiting weeks for our money we finally got through to the IRS on the phone. They said since we originally went through H R BLOCK our tax refund went to their account, they took out the money we owed for them to do our taxes, THEN H RBLOCK deposited the check into our account. The IRS considers this as having it paper mailed thus we now have to wait until the 23rd for the IRS to mail us a check. How screwed up is this!!

We are both on Social Security Disability.We did our return in March at the local IRS office,we were told to expect our direct deposit on May 9th.So far we do not have it. We have been told that people on SS that have not filed taxes for a long time are considered first time filers,we are not even in the system to look up anything.Does anyone know what is really going on? We would love to know what is happening.

I found out through calling the IRS that if you do your taxes by e-file or tax act or one of these sites and you choose to have the fees deducted from your return YOU WILL GET A PAPER CHECK Even if you chose to do direct deposit... I found this out because i was supposed to receive my check in the first week and i didn't read the fine print.

I was told the date for my stimulus direct deposit will be on May 9th. I was very shocked to have recieved my stimulus DD on time in my checking account this morning. I was thinking that I would recievce it in about 3 to 4 years.

I got my stimulus check today in my account. I was expecting 900 since that is all we keep seeing. 600 for me and 300 for my daughter but I didn't reach a certian tax level so I only got 300 and 300 for my daughter. I was on direct deposit and they said I would have it by the 9th and they were right but I was very disapointed with the amount. I think the people who don't make that much money should have gotten more not the people who make more money. We need it more and it isn't fair.

BEING IMPATIENT IS NOT GOING TO SPEED UP THE "RECEIVING THE CHECK" PROCESS!!...It seems alot of people have become obsessed with getting the Stimulus Rebate Check and it's getting kinda old if you ask me!! I'm a very patient person and will appreciate every penny once I received my check...Thats why I get up and go to WORK everyday..so I can have MONEY..and not depend on the GOVERNMENT!!...Duuhh!!

For everyone waiting on a check here's some news I've read from another wed site that you must have recieved $3,000 or better on your 2007 income tax return, I dont know how true it is but I'm just pass the news on. GOODLUCK!

i believe that the stimulus check was only for certain people and i dont think that's right by all means, but I'm going to trust in my all mighty GOD cause I know he'll make a way out of no way. For everyone out there that is still waiting TRUST IN GOD NOT THE IRS!

We all should know by now that the IRS is playing with us, just as Bush has. Who cares? We'll get it, or we won't. We'll get it in the end...figuratively as well as literally. And so it goes...

My last 2 digits of SSN are 26 and I filed before April 15. I had to pay this year but I used e-file and gave the IRS my bank information - they withdrew the money within 2 days. Why should it matter if I had to pay or received a refund? It shouldn't - the IRS has my bank information. Not to mention, unless you had the simplest of returns for just federal, you HAVE to use a third party to e-file. Will I receive my stimulus check via direct deposit by May 9th? I feel I should but I'm told I wont.

MY HUSBAND AND I FILE JOINT RETURN AND WE ARE RETIRED. WE ALSO HAVE A PAYMENT PLAN SET UP W/IRS FOR TAXES OWED FR A YEAR AGO FR A MISTAKE MADE BY TAX PREPAYER. DOES THIS MEAN WE WILL NOT GET A STIMULUS CK EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN PAYING EACH MONTH? I THOUGHT THIS CHECK WAS TO HELP PEOPLE GET THRU ROUGH TIMES. I HAVE HEARD OTHER PEOPLE COMMENT ON THE SAME THING. WE ARE ALL SUFFERING FR HIGH GAS PRICES, MEDICINE, FOOD, ETC. THIS ISN'T MUCH HELP IF THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IT AWAY.

I should have received my stimulas also I called and was told that since I filed it using HRBlock and used the direct deposit that my check would be mailed to me May 23rd because the HRBlock direct deposit is not open all the time for them to receive an electronic submission from the IRS. I guess the IRS only sends them at night?

I filed my taxes back in Feb. and the last 2 digits of my ss# fall in the 00-20 and I still haven't received my check. Can't get any information off the irs website.

I did forget to mention that I e-filed through and IRS approved (complete tax)company. This is considered a third party so now the check will not be direct deposited it will be mailed. That's the story I get.

I just called irs and the computer told me my payment will be send out on May 23 and it will take 2 weeks to get to me ( even though it is direct deposited)so much for it being send out on the 2nd ............ yes , I agree with Traci! I am a single mom and REALLY need it ..........
Wednesday, May 7 at 11:02 AM Tracy wrote ...
I also called irs and found out that if you used a third party to file that you will receive the check in the mail. I informed them that that wasn't what was said and that they need to get their story straight. This was supposedly told to them the end of last week. And when they get information,they relay it to us as consumers. If anyone out there was told this why wasn't everyone else. They are not being very informative about these checks. Some of us could use it.

My husband and I too keep getting the same info that Carin received. We also filed our return and had direct deposit months ago. Are we going to get a stimulus check? The requested information is is provided but we keep getting the We are sorry statement. How can we find out?

If I did'nt do direct deposit when I filed my taxes can I do it know so my check will go into my account and not be mailed

Whenn your on the website " Where's my refund?" be sure to count yourself as a dependant. I was entering 2 for my children and it was giving me the " I am sorry" however once I read it carefully and entered 3 (added myself) Bam it came up. On a posative note a lady at work kids got their direct deposit already so they are coming. Mine is scheduled for May 9th as well. I have a strong feeling it will not be there Friday.

I am on SSDI. I have Direct deposit. My SS digits fall within the 00-20 range. But I didn't have the info I needed on how or what form to use until the middle of march. I found out if you did not file six weeks before the 15th of April, you will not get your stimulus by the schedule date.

I put in the information on irs.gov and it said "We are sorry. Specific information about your Stimulus payment is not available." What does this mean? I filed my taxes and had a direct deposit done months ago.

If you go to this link (from the irs website) it will tell you when the direct deposit is scheduled or when the check is going to be sent https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRServlet?app=IRACTC

Yes, even if you paid taxes you will still recieve a check. The only time you don't get one is if you do not qualify with income filed, or if you did not file at all.
