Official IRS Timeline For Issuing Rebate Checks

April 30, 2008

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

Hello 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. Good Luck All.

This 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?

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.

SavvySugar~So 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, 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!

my 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!

ok, 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?
