*not drug related*

did anyone get their economic stimulus check today?

[GoingToMakeIt]

No, are you forfeiting yours? LOL send to: 1234 my town usa :)

[allaboutmary]

I won't be getting one .  I didn't make enough money. I'm not kidding. I didn't pay enough taxes to get one. So again the people that need it the most don't get it.  So single mothers that have 4 children and didn't pay much in taxes will not get a stimulus.  Just an fyi because a lot of people don't know this.  

[TrayCee]

no, I didnt get mine yet either :(  looking for it hard though.
and
I'm a single mother with twins.
I'm a little curious how a single mother with 4 kids doesnt work very much.  I would think you would have to work around the clock.

[sonie413]

Did you get you taxes direct deposited or paper check?   Direct dep. is going by the last 2 numbers of your ss# the higher they are the later you'll get it. paper check don't get mailed until may 4 th. hope this is helpful

[allaboutmary]

lol I'm not a single mother with 4 kids. Thank God !  lol   I am a small business owner who's business has gotten really really bad.  Sorry I was so negative. Just frustrated with the economy.

[TrayCee]

I know about the pay schedule but they started direct depositing early .  800.000 checks are going to be direct deposited between Monday and Wed. sooooooo I'm looking for mine early :)

[TrayCee]

totally feel ya!

[GoingToMakeIt]

I can relate to the economy! My business is also down, so far about 25%

[NautyOne]

Geez, last I heard they are not Fed-ex in them overnight.....lol.  they just went out today.  I'm sure I won't be getting mine since I owe the IRS ten times what they would be giving me........:-((((  Good luck, and hope you get yours soon.

nauty.........

[TrayCee]

Not looking for it in the mail box. I thought I said "direct deposit"

[wait2long]

you only get your direct deposit if you received your taxes by direct deposit, depending on the last 2 numbers of your SS#, you may not get your check until mid-end of july for those that did not get their taxes by direct deposit.   UGH!!!!

[TrayCee]

My tax refund was direct deposited.  I was "scheduled" to receive this check by DD on May 9.  But since they are going out early, I just wondered if anyone had received theirs yet.

I take it you did not direct deposit your tax refund?

[flmagi]

I can't wait til everyone gets their checks, cause then the economy will be all better and no one will have anymore problems. Yeah, right! Way to go GWB.

[wait2long]

no, i had to go rapid refund, believe it or not so i could pay my mortgage, had to use my mortgage $$  for oil...
i had a link somewhere that showed when everyone was getting their checks, for those who did not do DD..if anyone wants it let me know...
.i also heard some people actually would receive their DD checks yesterday or monday..but dont actually know of anyone who did yet...

yup...all problems solved...LMAO...

[goldenarm]

I just checked my account and it has not been dd yet.Think i will go out and have  a lobster dinner or two.

My last 2 SS numbers are 00 and I haven't gotten anything. I thought I would since they are sending the checks early but I guess the direct deposit schedule is the same.

[TrayCee]

wow, seriously! nobody yet?

[TrayCee]

[josh231]

[TrayCee]

catmagnet- yes

[Savas]

I'm expecting mine sometime in June.

Of 2010.

(Now thatsa speedy service!!!)

[TrayCee]

:(

[AlessandrasMom]

Don't mean to be nosy, but has anybody who owes the IRS in back taxes received one of these rebate checks?  We owe the IRS around $2600.00 and I received a notice that says we will receive $1,500.00 by May 16th, but it's up for review.  Which doesn't make sense because I thought the max you could get was $1,200.00 anyway.  

[TrayCee]

this check has nothing to do with income tax or owing the irs

[allaboutmary]

All I can say is it has been reported on the news many, many times.....that if you owe the IRS you will not be getting a stimulus check.  They have reported that they will pull the stimulus from what ever you owe. If there is any remaining you will get a check for that.  I have seen this reported about 20 times in the past few months and they all have said the same thing.  Unfortunaltey I am addicted to NEWS, I watch or listen 24/7. lol

You can google ....stimulus calculator....enter your figures and it will tell you, how much if anything you will get.

[TrayCee]

sorrysorrysorry you are totally right, my bad :(

[TrayCee]

Q. I received my stimulus payment, but it was less than I expected. Why?

A. Your economic stimulus payment is based on information provided on your 2007 income tax return.
Many but not all taxpayers qualify for the maximum basic payment of $600 for singles or $1,200 for married couples. Many parents are also receiving an additional $300 for each qualifying child, born after Dec. 31, 1990.

Your payment may be less than the maximum for one or more of the following reasons:

You are single and your net income tax liability is less than $600. If you file Form 1040 net income tax liability is the amount shown on Line 57, plus the amount on Line 52.
You are married and your net income tax liability is less than $1,200.
You are single and your adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than $75,000. On Form 1040, AGI is the amount on Line 37.
You are married filing a joint return and your AGI is more than $150,000.
You owe back taxes that reduced your payment.
You have non-tax federal debts such as unpaid student loans or child-support obligations that reduced your payment.
Around the time you receive your payment, you will also receive a notice from the IRS explaining how your payment was calculated. It is important to keep this notice as a record of your economic stimulus payment. In addition, you’ll get a separate notice if you owe back taxes or non-tax debts that were offset or deducted from your stimulus payment.
