March 18, 2008
Update: Haven’t received your rebate yet? Use the Rebate Status Tool to find our when it is coming.
The IRS has posted the 2008 Tax Rebate Stimulus Plan Payout Schedule.
The date you receive your payment will depend on 2 things:
- The last 2 digits of your Social Security Number
- If you will receive it by direct deposit or by check
Payments for those receiving the rebate through direct deposit will start on May 2nd and be completed by May 16th. Payments that will be received by check will begin May 16th and be completed by July 11th.
If you elected direct deposit when you filed your 2007 tax return, you will receive your rebate through direct deposit as well. This will be the quickest way for you to receive the rebate. Especially for those whose last 2 digits of their SSN are closer to 100. Unforturnetly if you have all ready filed your 2007 taxes and did not elect direct deposit, there is no way to stop the rebate from coming as a check.
According to the IRS, “People who file a return after April 15 will receive their economic stimulus payment, but probably about two weeks later than the schedule shows. A return must be filed by October 15 in order to receive a stimulus payment this year”
So for all you late filers, don’t forget that October 15th is a hard date you must file by to receive the 2008 tax rebate. This is free money, so don’t pass it up. If you are still unclear how much rebate you will be getting, try out the IRS.com Tax Rebate Calculator
And don’t forget that Uncle Sam is expecting you to blow all this tax rebate money on useless items to jump-start the economy! So be smart with this money considering the current economic slowdown that is happening.

I had to file an extension for the 2007 income taxes (waiting for a corrected 1099). How will this impact my 2008 tax rebate? Thanik you. jb
We had to pay in for the 2007 tax year and mailed our check to the IRS beginning of April. Last year (2006) we received a refund and it was direct deposit. So how will we get our ecomonic 2008 refund? Direct deposit or check?
Judy - You will still get the rebate, however it will be delayed from the day you finally complete your tax filing. The IRS has not given a definite schedule for the people that file their taxes after the April 15th deadline.
Laurie - Since you had to pay you will be receiving your stimulus in the form of a check. Unfortuently there is no way to submit the Direct Deposit info to them for the years you have to pay. They are only looking at the 2007 tax year, so having direct deposit in 2006 doesn’t help you. Unless the IRS makes last minute changes to this process, this is how they are planning on doing it.
if you didnt file tax but receive ssi are you eligibile for stimulus pay
Kim, please see this Post for the answer to your question.
what if my husband has a different last 2 digits for his social security number. would they split the check and send different times?
Shaun: The rebate will be paid out by the last 2 digits of thee first person listed on the return. So if your husbands name was first it will use has last 2 digits. If your name was first, it will go by your last 2 digits of your ssn.
i was wondering what happens to the rebate if you had your return put on the h&r block emarld card
Amanda: If you had your rebate put on the H&R Block Emerald card, you will receive it in check form. You may want to contact H&R Block about this to see if it has changed, since I spoke to them a few months ago.
what will happen if you did not get a notice or courtsey letter? Can you also change it to direct deposit?
Denise: As long as you filed your 2007 taxes it shouldn’t matter if you got the letter or not. The letters were sent out before even most of us did our taxes so at that time the IRS didn’t know if you were going to get a rebate or not. So the lack of getting one might just mean that it was lost in the mail.
Once you file your taxes you can not change to direct deposit. They will issue your rebate based on the way your tax refund (if any) was issued to you.
i am personally making payments on one tax year and owe on another,i did file my 07 taxes as always am i still elegible for the 08 stimulus?
What happens if you have closed the account that you had your direct deposit put in?
Beth: Great question and unfortunetly I don’t have the answer to that one. I will see if I can contact someone at the IRS about it.
my son who is a full time college student turned 18 on nov.27 08, will we get a stimulus rebate check for him?
Barney: as long as he filed taxes for 2007 and had at least $3000 in income for 2007 he should get a rebate.
what if i filed my taxes electronically when will i recieve my stimulus pay
My husband and I filed a joint return. I work full time and my husband stays home with the kids. Will we be entitled to a stimulus refund. We have 3 children and my take home last year was under 40,000
Michele Y: Yes you should get the full rebate of $1200 for both you and your husband as well as an additional $900 for the three children ($300 * 3 children)
what if some one owes money in back child support, do they still get a a stimulus
refund.
Robin: There is nothing on the IRS site that says if one owes back shild support that will not get the rebate. Child support is usually handled at the state level and the refund is federal, so I imagine that the person would still get the rebate.
i just spoke to h&r block and they said you will get your stmulus payment the exact way you got your federal tax return weather it was to your bank account or your emeraldcard but if you call yor emerald card it says different even the sacramento tax board told me i had to get ahold of my local h&r block and see what they say
My husband and I filed jointly. I know we will be getting 1200 back from the stimulus. I was wondering if they issue the full 1200 to both of us at the same time or do they seperate it, 600 a person based on the payout schedule?
Brian: Thanks for the info. I haven’t been able to get a straight answer for the Emerarld Card Scenario as well. If anyone used an Emerald Card and has a SSN from 00-20, can you please let us know if you got your rebate this week and how? Thanks!
Denise: Since you filed jointly, you will get the $1200 all at once. They will use the last 2 digits of the first person listed on your joint return for the day that it will be sent to you.
ME AND MY SISTER FILED OUR TAXES ELECTRONICALLY, EXCEPT WE DID IT AT HOME OURSELVES. ACCORDINGTO THE PAY OUT DATES WE SHOULD HAVE RECIEVED OUR PAYMENT TODAY BUT NEITHERR ONE OF US DID….CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY.
AND WE FILED ON TIME BAC IN FEB..
I DIDN’T DO DIRECT DEPOSIT SO CAN I GET THAT CHANGED SO I CAN RECEIVE MY STIMULUS CHECK NOW BECAUSE I FILE MY TAXES IN FEB. RAPID REFUND.
My parents claimed me as a dependent for 2007, but I have my own income (greater than $3,000) and filed my own taxes. They received the stimulus this week, but they did not receive money for having me as a dependent. Am I eligible to receive a stimulus payout for myself?
I FILED MY TAXES THRU JACKSON HEWITT AND RECIEVED A DEBIT CARD WITH MY REFUND ON IT .MY ENDING SS#IS 45 WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT MY REFUND?
I was just wondering if people are already seeing their rebates in their accounts? My husband & I are checking our accounts daily, anxious to have some relieve in our wallets….
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY MY CHECK HAS NOT BEEN DEPOSITED. MY SS# ENDS IN 17?
My daughter is 2 years old, but has a social security #. Will the check for her be mailed by the last two numbers of her ss# or by my numbers. Also, will check include my name so I can deposit it?
I was wondering if some people with the ending 07 in their ss # already received their rebate? We checked our account and the rebates has not been deposited?
Will they be sending a check? Is there a number to call to check on the status or what is being done?
If I had my 2007 return put on an H & R Block Emerald Green card.. will the rebate check be posted to that card, as sort of a direct deposit, sinne I didn’t get my refund in the form of a check?
Was wondering if you found anything out about what will happen to our check since we do not have that bank account any more.
All, check out this post. The IRS has launched a Rebate Status tool that lets you see the status of your rebate. Hopefully this will answer a lot of your questions. Here is the link to the post.
Beth, I still don’t have an answer for you. I am hoping that they would send you a check if the direct deposit failed. You may try calling them, but I am not sure how helpful they may be. Sorry.
Ihave an Emerald card. When do i get my money.
I was wondering…..we are in a chapter 13 due to back taxes owed. We filed our 2007 taxes and did not owe this year, they owed us 200.00. Of course we didn’t receive it as they will just deduct it from what we owe. My question is about the stimulus check. Will we still be eligible to receive a check from them since we didn’t owe for 2007. Thanks.
i just recived my 600.00 rebate but i was wondering about my 1 child why i didnt recived extra for my dependent
Did someone else claim your child?
is there a number i can call i haven’t received my check scheduled may 9 i did not taxes direct deposit.
ok well it is may 11 th i got my taxws on direct deposit according to the scedule i should have gotten my money on the second but still no sign of it . thanx Bush.
My husband & I filed married but seperate will we get our checks seperately?
I am maried and filed jointly. We make over 30k a year but my rebate check came and only recieved 600. I was expecting 1200 but recieved only the 600. my ssn was 03 and hers was 97. Are you sure that it was supposed to send the full 1200 at one time.
My husband and I filed our Taxes jointly through the free online Turbo Tax site and had the money directly deposited in Feb. We didn’t send in the signed papers till April 15th but we had gotten out text return deposited into our account 2 weeks after first filing. We also have a 4 year old son. His SS number ends in 33. We never received our refund in our account. Do we need to wait for a paper check because of when we sent in the signed papers even though we had the refund directly deposited months before sending it in?
My daughter filed her taxes electronically, and her ss # ends in 15, and she has not received her stimulus check yet, should she worry. She does not owe any back taxes or loans. What should she do. She did not receive the letter from the IRS telling her she would get the check also. Help!
All: Try using the Rebate Status Tool to see the status of your rebate. This should answer most of your questions.
Thanks!
Hi , I was checking out the Rebate Status Tool and it said it couldnt tell me any info on where my rebate check is [[ we should of received it on the 9th ]]. We did file with direct deposit return, however on the page where you check to see the status, it says that if your fees were taken directly out of your return you may be getting a paper check refund. Why exactly is this? It was still direct deposited into our checking account… this makes no sense to me. Everything would still be the same. Does anyone know more on this topic?? Otherwise we are looking at July for our return which kinda sucks…..
Ok, I have yet to receive my payment and I filed direct deposit. Now I received a letter stating that I should expect payment by May 16th direct deposit, Never happened. I did file an amendment on my return and received that by a check from my federal taxes in the amount of the amendement. Is the amendment whats holding up the deposit of my check?
I’m a full time employed single mother of one minor.
Does anyone have an idea of how much my rebate check wil be for?
PATTY it’ll be $900.00
We filed our 2007 taxes through direct deposit method back in February. My husband’s SS# ends in 70, but we still have not received our rebate. Is there a reason why?
I didnt earn enough to file a tax return and I do have a ssn#. Will I still get a rebate check?
I FILED MY TAXES WITH H&R BLOCK! IS THERE SOME REASON THAT I HAVE NOT GOT MY STIMULUS PAYMENT YET? I RECIEVED MY TAXES ON AN EMERALD CARD DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? SOME BODY PLEAE HELP!
My wonderful beneficent generous United States government is just giving me $300 to as Pres. Bush says ” Shop” . According to the Stimulus Payment Payout Schedule-and social security number-mine should be here May 9th. Today is May 27th I’m waiting to shop for food.
Just found out 1500 payouts went to wrong people- one reason for delay.
Wanda McAfees last blog post..Reasons Your 2008 Tax Rebate Might Be Delayed
how much
Iwas wonering how much i qualify for and when i will get mine
I filed online and elected direct deposit. When I filed I qualified for a stimulus check. I received my return direct deposit with no problem, but now it is June 5 and I still have not received my stimulus check. I went to the “Where’s my stimulus payment” site, input my Social, and filing status but got “We are sorry. Specific information about your Stimulus Payment is not available.” and a list of reasons why that may be.
Do you or anyone reading this know who I can contact to find out specifically why I have not received my stimulus check. Or is there anyone else in this same situation.
I definitely am not starving, but that extra money would bring a little more joy to my life, and darn it, I’m supposed to get it I guess. This is starting to make me a little peeved.
My father passed away in June 2007. He did file taxes with no income, however he was a veteran of WWII, was he eligible to receive the rebate?
Rick: I beleive that you had to at least have $3000 in Social Security benefits and/or Veterans Affairs benefits in 2007 to receive the rebate. If he didn’t file with any income then it looks as if he will not receive one.
Is there a number I can call if my rebate check doesn’t arrive as scheduled?
According to your direct deposit schedule I should have had my deposit May 16, 2008. I still don’t have it. I would like to have it so if you could please put the moiney in my account I would appreciate it. My son Charles M. Blevins hasn’t received his either. My daughter received hers and several othe people I know has received theirs.So be a nice IRS employee and send my money. I bet if I owed you money you would waste no time is harassing me for it. Thank you and have a blessed day.
C.F. & C.A. Blevins
do i get a stimulus check? And how do i find out where it will come to, or give an address for it to be mailed. I did file but i owe the government about 2000 dollars.
HAVE NO INCOME BUT I GET A PENSION WHICH IS 18.500.00 CLAIM 1 CHILD AND MY WIFE DO I GET A STIMLUS PAYMENT
As I’m sure those with Chapter 13 questions have already figured out, you will NOT get the stimulus payment if the Trustee is paying back taxes for you. I just got my notice saying they applied it to the back taxes. Me and others like me did nothing to contribute to stimulating the economy with this money. While it is unfair, I don’t think there is anything we can do about it. Sucks!
Is there a cut off amount of income filed that will make some of us not receive a stimulus check?
If you owe a student loan, child support or IRS do you receive a stimulus pay?
Someone didn’t provide all the information on the stimulus pay such as who
was eligible.
I RS is not sending us a stimlus check. we filed our 2007 tax return. we received our tax refund. $ 79000 was our total income. however IRS states that we are not intiled to a stimlus check. we dont owe them money. why is this. thanks
I would like to know why we haven’t gotten our stimulus check. Here it is the end of July. Can anyone help me?
Well this whole business with the stimulus checks is a joke we have not gotten anything and no word as to why.
I payed taxes as I am still working and also on social security but still no word as to why no check. Would anyone know why ?????
This year I owrd IRS $313.00 My Retirement check was withdrawn from my retirment check. I was told that a certified leter was sent to me in January 2008.I would like to see that letter of certication.

I received a letter from the Office of personnel management the day after my check was placed as a levy on my back account.Also my bank did not wait 21 days nor did they contact me of this trans action.
