Hey! Can't Find Your Economic Stimulus Check??? Friday - May 16th - was supposed to be the final day of electronic - direct - deposits by the IRS of the Economic Stimulus checks. Electronic deposits of the stimulus checks began two and half weeks ago on April 28th. If you requested direct deposit, depending on where the last two digits of your Social Security Number fell in the deposit order, your checking account should now have received your stimulus payment. If you opted to receive a "paper" check, instead of electronic direct deposit, then Friday was also the beginning of the "mail-out" period. Again, depending on where the last two digits of your Social Security Number fall in the deposit order, you should receive the check in the mail between next week and the middle of July. Were you/your family eligible for this "pre-bate" check? Have you received your economic stimulus deposit or check? If you got yours, was it made out for the correct amount?

I also found out that if you did direct deposit but paid for your tax preperations/fees with your tax refund, you will be getting a check and not direct deposit. That is what happened to us. So, now I have to wait until the beginning of June to get mine. Of course, that's not a big deal for me, just as long as I get it before it's time to go on vacation.

We have not received our stimulous money yet. We filed our taxes and had direct deposit, and got the return back. We then had to file an ammended return and had to mail that in so they are to give us a paper check for that. I called the IRS and they told me we would get a check for the stimulous package. that does not make sense since the first time we files, we got it direct deposited. I guess we will know this week because hse said it would be mailed today. Who knows though?
