Last week the Treasury Department announced they'd be sending the rebate checks ahead of schedule. The IRS updated their old schedule and produced a new schedule on Monday, the first day that taxpayers started receiving their rebates. Please note that this schedule is different from the previously posted estimated schedule, as the IRS didn't release the below schedule until this week. Just as the checks started being deposited four days earlier than expected, the IRS notes that it will start mailing paper checks with an early start date of May 9. To see the official schedule, which applies to those who filed their returns by April 15, just read more

Mine is coming 4 days later?
1May 16!
2So, if I had my normal rebate direct deposited then this would be as well?
3Well I'll get it soon after my birthday so I guess that's cool.
4Savvy - how do we tell if the IRS has our direct deposit info or not? Last year, I got a refund and had it direct-deposited, but this year, I owed some money and had to send in a check. Will they use last year's information (it hasn't changed)? Thanks!
5Tidalwave- Yes, if your tax refund was sent via direct deposit, than your rebate check would also be deposited directly to your bank account.
silly3- I checked the IRS website but couldn't find information to answer your question. If you're counting on the money for anticipated expenses, you may want to contact the IRS directly with your question.
6I got mine today.
7Ugh! I'm in the 88-99 range AND I'm getting a paper check instead of the direct deposit. All of the "Spend Your Rebate Here" sales will be over by then
8I should get mine by May 9 I guess then. My cousin has a SS# ending in 05 and still hasn't gotten hers. Hope they aren't late!!! I really need that money soon!
9YES!
10Thanks for the update. I can't wait!
11my husband's is 05 and as of today we still have not gotten it? does anyone think i should be worried about it. It says he will get 367 for himself? i have kept looking ever since monday for it and still NOTHING!!
12mistykisses99-
Sit tight for a couple more days. The IRS schedule says your husband's check should be deposited by May 2 (Friday).
13thanks! i know i should wait until friday-----then get worried if it is not in there. we dont owe any back taxes so i dont know why i am worried.
thanks!
14Good to know. Thanks.
15This is the same day they said I'd get it before I think. At least that's what I wrote on my calendar May 16th. Bummer, I was hoping to get it like this week. Oh well can't complain!
16Renees3 - i know, mine is the same day too that it said i'd get it because i wrote mine down on my calendar for may 9th, and that's what it says now, silly IRS. Oh well, atleast it's soon.
17Any ideas...?
18If I filed married, filing seperate and the estranged husband did not file at all, what would happen?
I am ss --11 and no refund...
=/
The 9th
19May 16 :five:
20WOOOOT!
21Still no refund here.
Maybe Friday! 
22if we owed and had that directly pulled from checking, am i right in thinking ill get direct deposit?
23what if your married and filled joint who's social does it go by ? Would we get both on the same day or each by our socials
24Can't wait till May 9th. Some things will be paid off!
25This schedule is the same as the original posted by the IRS. I always knew about getting my rebate by May 9th. I thought there would be a new schedule because they are sending them out early....hmm.
26seraphicstar- That would make sense to me, but there's not much information on the IRS website regarding the rebate check for those who owed this year.
PammyLZ- It seems that even though they started the process earlier than expected, the IRS wants to make sure they aren't getting ahead of themselves in case they can't get them out as fast as they predict. Even though they announced checks will start being sent on May 9, their schedule doesn't reflect that new date.
27ok, my cousin's tax lady told her since she did the electronic filing with paying extra to get her check back faster that she will not get hers direct deposited even though her tax refund was direct deposited. She will get a paper check mailed by the 16th. Does that make sense??? Our was a paper return mailed in, but the tax refund was direct deposited into our account 3 weeks later. The SS# for ours ends in "58" so I am assuming May 9th is the latest we would get ours direct deposited?
28Nice may 16th
29The 9th for me....that's the same date as before
30well mine is a week later then the last time!!! i was the 2nd. now i'm the 9th!!! i'm going to be more in debt than expected!! i don't even think this is going to be worth it now!!
31my SSN ends on 01. But I haven't gotten my rebate cheque yet. I wonder if I'll even be eligible since even though I filed, i earned so little last year, they gave me EIC!
32princessjaslew, I think you have to have an income of at least $3000 for the year and you are elgible.
toxicblueeyes, I totally get it...I am in the same boat this week..I was hoping to get mine real soon and so many people who should have gotten theirs this week still haven't gotten it. I am worried I won't get it on time either...mine is due no later than the 9th. I could REALLY use it this week though. Like yesterday! Some unexpected expenses came up this week!
33getting mine today!!!
34who didnt get there money today from the irs our 2 last numbers 15 and we didnt get ours and we never got a letter did anyone else
35i didn't get it either
36ok people i just found something out if u filed with turba tax or hr block and had ur fees taken out of your refund u will get a paper check if u paid for ur fees by credit card or check than you would have gotten direct deposit ...from turbo tax.com
37I'm 11 and I got my check right on schedule on May 2! YESSSSSSS.
38frevirg - where did you find that info no turbotax.com???? I was not able to find it right off hand. thanks.
39SavvySugar~
40So basically the schedule is back to the original one? That puts me back to May 9th. I was supposed to have mine in my account today per the new schedule and I went online to the irs.gov site and it also gave me the exact dollar amount and the deposit date of May 9th. Talk about confusing everyone ):
princessjaslew~
faery is correct. You would have had earned $3,000 or more to receive rebate. EIC does not count because it was not income you earned. Hope this helps. Also visit www.irs.gov for more details on your situation.
41This question is for the administrators on this site. I had my refund check direct deposited and my last digits of my SS are 64 so I assumed I would be getting my rebate deposited by May 9th. However, I just saw the new info that says if you had fee's taken our of your refund, my check will be MAILED instead. I've moved since I got my tax refund and I want to make sure it goes to the right place. What do I need to do to ensure that?
42i found that info on the irs website under FAQ other people also had this happen i guess http://www.savvysugar.com/1605189 here is the link for this website that tells u all about it....
43Asiaparker1 [+) you need to call the irs and very you new address you can do it over the phone go to the irs.gov and find the phone number for ur area and call...
44Hello all, Just found out, I filed on Turbo Tax, I had them deduct the fee to file and do direct deposit from my refund. I looked up Turbo Tax, Because the fee was deducted from my refund, My Check will now be mailed in the last of june, Insted of May 9. Here is what it say's.
Rebates and Refund Transfers Using Santa Barbara Bank & Trust
Updated: 5/06/2008Article ID: 6255IMPORTANT -- Using "Refund Transfer" with Santa Barbara Bank & Trust could affect when you get your rebate
Even if you have received or will receive your tax refund by direct deposit to your bank account using Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, the IRS will not do the same for your tax rebate. It will mail your rebate instead.
This applies only if you used the "refund transfer" service when filing. The service lets you pay for your tax preparation and/or e-filing from your refund proceeds, for an additional fee, rather than use a credit card.
45Good Luck All.
Savvy Sugar
46Thank you for this awesome website, It is a great help to the MANY People who would like to know more about these check's. Gatorhntr
sometimes the government really sucks. so now i don't get direct deposit all b/c i used turbo tax??
