Plaid Dad Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 We got ours today, although it was a lot less than I was expecting. Ah, well. Mustn't grumble. It's more than we had yesterday, right? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 We received ours today and it was less than we had anticipated as well?? :confused: We're trying not to be disappointed, but it was supposed to be used for gas money to my brother's wedding next week - 2500 miles round trip. I'm afraid to calculate the actual cost of gas once charged to a credit card and paid over several months. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamom3 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I read the information wrong! I thought a couple would only get $600 and then $300 per qualifying child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I ran the calculator yesterday, so I knew ahead of time. At least it's only $283 less. My aunt won't get anything for her son because he just turned 18 in October. Stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in NY Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Did you miscalculate? We should have gotten ours this morning, based on dh's ss number. But we mailed our return on 4/15 so I guess that's why we have a delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I read that 5 million direct deposits were going to be made today with stimulus checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Did you have your tax refund direct deposited? Or mailed? If you had it mailed or received a check from someplace like H&R Block, your stimulus check will be mailed. If you had your refund direct deposited, you will get a direct deposit. My grandma has to actually wait until the end of June I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trivium Academy Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yep and I haven't had this much money in our account AFTER paying bills since I was working. It's exciting, strange and scary all at the same time, like there's a shoe about to drop and we'll need the money for an emergency. Shivers. I'm pretending it's not there, transferred it all to savings and then after we move- I'll pay off some bills unless the shoe drops. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 She is getting just over $400. She is getting a portion of her single, but nothing for her son. For those of you wondering about your rebate, if you take line 52 and line 57 of your taxes (form 1040) and add them together, that's what you'll expect back for your single/couple portion. Then add your kids in at $300 each. This is how I got my number, and it was correct, except that they gave me an extra 70 cents. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Me Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I read that 5 million direct deposits were going to be made today with stimulus checks. So, do you think the fact that I am not seeing mine this morning should alarm me? We filed using Free File, so there was no fee charged. But does this mean we will still be getting a paper check, like Turbo Tax filers? Also, the IRS site still says it doesn't have info. about our rebate. HHHMMMM...off to wonder!

Brigitte Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 We got it today. Just in time to pay for the home inspection on Tuesday and then part of the downpayment at closing on June 20th. Easy come, easy go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Stimulus Calculator Schedule of Payments (Please keep in mind it's based on how you received your tax refund. We used Turbo Tax, but we still had our refund direct deposited, so that's also how we received our stimulus payment. It just hit our bank this morning.) Frequently Asked Questions I hope this helps! I did all of this research yesterday. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It was what we expected. It's just sitting in out savings account right now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHen6 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Ours came today! I promptly scheduled a payment for our "piggyback" mortgage. This year's (regular) tax refund paid off the car . After next year's, we'll be done with the little mortgage. And that will leave just the "big" mortgage! But my dream of a bedroom set keeps getting pushed back further and further into the future... --Korrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn in WI Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Ours hit the checking account today right on schedule. It was exactly what we were expecting. It will either get transferred to our ING account or be a healthy extra principal payment on our mortgage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about my little bitty Pinecone Research checks, :tongue_smilie: BUT, it's more than we had yesterday, and it will help us do some much needed things sooner than we would have otherwise so I'm grateful.

Kate in Arabia Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I"m not sure whether we will qualify for one.. we file every year, but as long as your total income is below a certain threshold amount, if you live overseas and work for a non-US employer, you don't pay taxes (or get a refund).. I guess I'll find out eventually.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhM Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Amazingly, the long-overdue maintenance items on our 8yo van (which we intend to keep at least 4 more years) came to almost exactly the amount of our rebate. Satisfying to have it done and paid for, but still not a 48" flat-screen LCD!:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver0f10 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 So people that used Turbo Tax will get paper checks?? :glare: As far as I understand, if you used TT or H&R Block etc , and paid your filing fees out of your refund, you will get a paper check. If you used TT or H&R Block etc and used a credit card or debit or alternate way to pay the fees and you did NOT have it taken out of your refund, then you should get a DD.
