A welcome announcement came from the IRS today that they are going to be about a week ahead of schedule in directly depositing and mailing the tax rebate checks from the economic stimulus package.
Here is a list of when to expect your payments based on whether you are receiving a paper check or direct deposit:
DIRECT DEPOSIT
| Last two SSN digits: | Payment will be transmitted by: |
| 00 through 20 | May 2 |
| 21 through 75 | May 9 |
| 76 through 99 | May 16 |
PAPER CHECK
| Last two SSN digits: | Payments will be mailed by: |
| 00 through 09 | May 16 |
| 10 through 18 | May 23 |
| 19 through 25 | May 30 |
| 26 through 38 | June 6 |
| 39 through 51 | June 13 |
| 52 through 63 | June 20 |
| 64 through 75 | June 27 |
| 76 through 87 | July 4 |
| 88 through 99 | July 11 |

Hi Lauren,
I don’t know that I have a good answer for you. Here’s what I would do:
Check out the IRS’ website and use the “Where’s my stimulus payment” tool. The link below should work. If not, go to http://www.irs.gov and click on the “Rebate Payment Questions” link and look for “Where’s my stimulus payment?”
https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRServlet?app=IRACTC
If you still don’t have any luck using that tool, then I’m afraid you may have to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and someone there should be able to assist you.
There are also some Frequently Asked Questions on the IRS.gov website about why rebate checks were smaller than you thought or didn’t come, so one of those reasons may apply.
Good luck!
Tripp
Hi Lauren,
I was reading on TaxGirl.com today and she had an interesting post that may be the cause of your frustrations.
