Where is my stimulus payment check 2009? I have not received it yet.

that is news of "where's my stimulus check 2009" we can use,thanks. :D 8)

Has anyone that is getting a check tried to use this? I just tried and it tells me my information is incorrect... I may not be putting in the right number of exemptions, I don't have my taxes with me, but I am pretty sure I entered it correctly :(

you will need to put in the exact amount of exemptions on the correct line, I did it wrong the first time (only put in 3 for my 3 kids) and then looked at my 1040A sheet and got the number correct, it will be on the line 6d...example : 1 for yourself, 1 for your spouse and 1 for each child claimed.

I just tried "Wheres My Stimulus Payment" with every number under the sun and still didn't get anything. I owe county taxes on my car that are a little past due. I wonder if that can affect the amount.

I also went on to check and it stated that information was incorrect and it is not. I owe taxes for 2007-on an installment agreement this year with the IRS and I think it is going towards the balance due.

That could be the problem, I did it this morning correctly and it stated that mine would be direct deposited on 05/02/08, and if not shown by 05/07/08 to call the IRS. try again maybe later, they may be bogged down.

Does anyone know if county taxes would affect stimulus check? I don't owe any Federal. Then wheres my stimulus payment?

It shouldnt....we owed on some for our boat in the past and had no issues with the IRS refunds.

I just tried Wheres My Stimulus Payment and NOTHING :twisted: :twisted: , I called them and talked to a lady that said nobody can get their status info yet online....but according to the schedule I should get mine tomorrow. God I hope so I desperately need it. You are lucky deannstudent...I was unsucessful :cry:

maybe the IRS lady didnt get the memo, it shows it just went online this morning and I was able to get it to work, either way, it gave me the same info as the lady gave you. it will be deposited tomorrow due to no deposits today being done

what time did you check? How often do you think they update there site?

I started messing with it this morning around 7am cst and again just to check to make sure I wasn't crazy about a 1/2 hour ago and still the same info. I had noticed that one of the questions in the "freq questions" section stated that the IRS was working on a rebate info system like they have on line for checking your refund status, so I tried it. I think the answer to "Wheres My Stimulus Payment" is done.

deann - thanks for posting this most useful information "Wheres My Stimulus Payment"! Since information has been less than forthcoming (or very slow) from the IRS, this is a great help. There's a lot of confusion out there about the rebates and when they will arrive, now that the schedule has been moved up. I only know one person so far that has received theirs.

Not a problem, I know how frustrated I have been trying to get updates.

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?

See I went to IRS.GOV I can't find, "Where's my Rebate"

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. :oops:

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!! :evil:

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..... :-(

ok found it, but it tells me the same thing, nothing:)

lmale - read my post just above yours...we posted at the same time! :lol:

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. :evil:

"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.

LOL, we keep posting at the same time! I agree with you! POINTLESS!

Although if we aren't schedule yet....I thought most all direct deposits were due tomorrow, if you filed by the 15th, I dont' actually get one, but my friend is over and we are using her info and she meet all crietria. Oh well, I guess it will get here when it gets here.

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.

SueBee....

I tried the link and received the same response.The information I entered was correct. However, It states I made a mistake and to re-enter info.

I just called the IRS Rebate hotline. the recording stated they " can't give me any specific information..". However..it DID say, "it would be mailed July 4th."

I would not worry. Thats just a generic statement of when the last payments will be mailed.

Roadwarrior -

I'm still getting the same results - what's really funny, though, is that when I called the IRS the other night, even the IRS employee didn't tell me that the information wouldn't be available on the "where's my stimulus payment" link until it's scheduled to be deposited - so probably not until about a day before it's deposited.

So if the IRS employees aren't even aware of this little kink in the system (or are aware but aren't telling), why even bother having the link up there?

Interesting.....the IRS must have finally wised up and listened to the millions of people calling and complaining that they can't get status on the "where's my stimulus payment" link on their site...

If you go there now and your the info on your payment is not available, you get the following message:

Ok...so now I have another question. :roll: Has anyone who is due to have their payment direct deposited sometime this week (say, by Friday) seen their info using the "where's my stimulus payment" link yet? I've tried today, and nothing. Got the same message as above. So if I'm supposed to get mine by Friday (according to the schedule), where's my info?

Sue, this entire process has been a mix up if you ask me, I've got lots of friends and family that thought they would have their money this past Friday, and NOTHING....I don't get it.

I think you're right, lmale. A friend of mine at work said her father actually got his last week, and his SS ends in 70!! According to the schedule, he shouldn't have gotten his until this week.

I guess I'm just worried because now it says the data will be available within a week prior to when the deposit is supposed to be made...but mine should be done on the 9th and no data is there yet.

Hey everyone, my last numbers are 86 which means that I should get it on or around the 16th, but I read somewhere last week that everything was moved AHEAD one week, so I am hoping that I should get mine around or on the 9th. This is a blessing and yet nerve racking as well.

Luke

I know Luke - have you tried the "where's my stimulus payment" link yet? I'd be interested to see if your info shows up.

In fact, I'd like to know if anyone who is scheduled to receive their payment by the 9th has seen their info on that link yet.

No, it just says I entered in the wrong info, that crap. I always put the right stuff in. It is just a passifier for millions. I will get my check in a few weeks I am sure.

Yes, someone did get their stimulus payment in their account early I think Wednesday or Thursday, they are the ones that started this thread. I know mine won't be here for awhile as I accidently filed two 1040(a's) because I didn't think the IRS website had received it...stupid me :twisted: ...I could have had my money by now.

I normally don't file a tax return because my disability is so little :roll:

I actually believe it was not issued a week early. I do not know of one person who recvd theirs earlier than Friday 5/2/2008.

ok

I just entered my info on the IRS link. It stated I will receive the rebate according to the schedule published. Not a week early!

At least its telling you something, we still are getting no specific info...

My daughter's is being sent via a check even though she did direct deposit thru Turbo Tax. I have heard that those that utilized that program will get there money sent via check. Her last two digits were 00 and this was just made available this morning.

Thought I would advise just give to everyone else a heads up.

WOW, I seriously don't think the IRS knows what they are doing....

Anyone that used a online tax program and had their fees deducted from their refund will get a paper check. If you used a free program or paid using a debit or credit card you would still get direct deposit.

goudah, where did you read that info?

are you freaking kidding me? that stinks. I'm going to call the IRS and check that out, just to be sure, but I doubt they'll give me any better info than they did last week. :evil:

It is all over the net - It makes sense because if you had an RAL or had your fees taken out of your refund, the refund first went to another place where the fees were taken out, then went on to you. The IRS would have the bank account info of the place that took the fees, not your bank account info.

I've read in a bunch of places that people that called got that answer from the IRS . . . . . I'm interested to see what they tell you Sue . . . .

I could not get through to the IRS...however....

I went to Turbotax.com, the service I used to file my taxes (as did millions of other Americans). There is a questions & answers area there, where you can ask questions of the "community" on Turbotax, and both community members and TurboTax employees will respond to your questions.

What I found is that your info is correct, Goudah.

TurboTax says that if you went through their online service to file your federal/state returns, and had your fees for using their service deducted from your refund, using their bank, Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, (even if you had your refund direct deposited) you will not receive a rebate payment via direct deposit - it will be sent via check according to the schedule posted on the IRS website.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm TICKED. The IRS has not posted this info ANYWHERE on their website that I've seen. Has anyone else seen it there? There's a heck of a big difference between having the money direct deposited by May 9 and having a paper check sent by June 20. :evil: :evil:

It is not on their website anywhere . . . . I'd be pissed too, because most people would think that they would be getting direct deposit in those cases . . . . .

Also, I've read that those that will get their direct deposit payments early are those that filed early, used 1040ez, and have no dependants. Something about the system being able to process them faster. So if you don't meet those requirements, odds are you will probably get the direct deposit on the original date.
