Ok...now I'm totally confused. I went to the "where's my rebate" link on irs.gov and entered all my info. Nothing. It said I may have made a mistake and asked me to check my info. I did - all correct. When I hit "continue", it told me they couldn't provide any info on my rebate payment.
I called the IRS, and all I got was an automated system that had me enter the same exact info, and I got the same exact answer - nada - nothing - zip.
So I still don't know when I'm getting it. I don't owe the IRS, I received my refund as I should have when I filed back in February...so now I'm confused.
LADYBUG...did you have any success when you tried again later?

lmale - go to irs.gov, click on Stimulus Payment Questions (top of the page), and then click on "where's my stimulus payment". I called it a 'rebate' in my post. 
Just an update, I called the IRS after trying the "where's my stimulus payment" thingie again with no luck - they actually answered fairly quickly, and said that it's kind of touch and go right now, and that the system is not working for everyone. The person I spoke to said she tried it for her own purposes and it didn't work for her, either, but it has worked for others.
She did tell me to expect my payment by May 9. But she couldn't tell me anything about exactly when it would be received - only "by May 9".

A question, though - has anyone been told that if there are errors on their 2007 return (like in my case, where a dependent was claimed that shouldn't have been and was claimed by someone else as well - oops), that this situation might hold up their stimulus payment??
I've filed the amended return, but I'm sure they haven't gotten to the amended returns just yet - they're too busy with this whole stimulus payment thing. I'm really hoping to receive my payment next week like they said I would, but this little wrench they threw into the situation is making me nervous now.

Here's a useful little snippet of info that I bet a lot of us overlooked when using the "where's my stimulus payment" link....direct from the IRS website:
| Quote: | Welcome to Where's My Stimulus Payment?
Get the amount and date of your Economic Stimulus Payment now!
We recommend checking the Payment Schedule prior to using this application since your payment information will not be available on this tool until the time that your payment is scheduled.
Also, please see the Economic Stimulus Payment Information Center for in depth information about the Stimulus Payment such as eligibility qualifications and other frequently asked questions.

Ok....now we know why SO MANY OF US can't get our information from the "where's my stimulus payment" link!! Even the lady at the IRS didn't tell me this when I called!! 
Apparently, (and I just realized this after looking at the IRS site again) the info won't be available until your payment is actually scheduled to be deposited or sent out. So if you go to that link and don't get any info, it's most likely because your payment isn't scheduled to go out yet!
So I guess mine isn't coming tomorrow.....

lmale - read my post just above yours...we posted at the same time! 
I think I've figured out why so many aren't able to see their info - their payment isn't scheduled to be deposited or sent out yet, therefore the info is not available. Kinda pointless, if you ask me.

"We recommend checking the Payment Schedule prior to using this application since your payment information will not be available on this tool until the time that your payment is scheduled."
Sorry I don't know how to quote..Anyway, that's real helpful isn't, if its in the bank account, we don't need to check with the IRS< GOODNESS. |

lmale -
The lady I spoke to at the IRS just kept telling me it should be in my account by the 9th....so I guess you and I are probably NOT two of the 5 million going out tomorrow.

I checked mine yesterday when I started this thread and it was right, it was deposited this morning, so I think the update is correct. I would wait until your rebate is scheduled and look then, but then again it kind of defeats the purpose of the IRS link.
