stimulus check update

Published Jun. 16, 2008

For those who didnt know. Well I am late in posting things lately anyway, and not been reading many posts as it is. If you already know, then sorry..if not then hope it helps.

 

For some taxpayers, a second stimulus payment will not be a mistake: The IRS will be mailing out about 350,000 additional checks starting in July to taxpayers whose original stimulus payment did not include a payment for their eligible child.

"In some instances, taxpayers did not check the proper box to trigger the $300 child payment. In other instances, a few tax software products primarily used by tax professionals did not capture the proper information needed for issuing the child stimulus payment," the tax agency said.

"To fix the problem, the IRS is taking extra steps to identify the affected taxpayers and send them separate checks to cover their qualifying children. The IRS emphasized that the corrected checks will be mailed automatically, and taxpayers don't need to call or take any additional steps," the statement said.

i am with Tidbit on this. we claimed our 17 year old but didn't get the $300 for her either because she was born in August of 1990. for those who have a child or childern that were born before December 31, 1990, forget about getting that $300.

DIRECT DEPOSIT

Last two SSN digits: Payments will be transmitted no later than (and received by the end of the day of): 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 no later than (and received a few days after): 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

Above is the schedule in case you haven't seen it. Many folks I have heard are worried their payment won't come. Paper pay will be later than others.

uhm...this local know it all didnt read the last paragraph answering the question in my own last paragraph. LOL so much for multitasking!!!

rock on! thanks for posting this. in my case, it must have been a pesky 'software glitch' because i was shorted more than $300...i got $1250 when it shoulda been $1800. ive been trying to figure out what i did wrong to get shorted $550, lol.

so i guess we dont need to take any action on our part? just sit back and let the IRS figure it out and send out a second check? or do we need to notify them?

Apparently 17-year-olds are free to raise, and therefore not counted as children!

I really really need mine, and I would have been happy with anything that I could have gotten. I wasnt sure what to expect with mine, but I got my letter Saturday, and I will recieve $$ for me, and all 5 of the kids that lived in my home last year. (even though only 4 remain with me now)

OMG, Tidbit, you are so right! the 17yr olds were totally left out. My sons were 11, 16, and 19 so I was lucky on that score but it still burns me up that next year I can't claim the 17 yr old,,,why not???? he's still my dependent. Of course, so is the 19 yr old at this point.

What a great idea for the 50 million though, give it to the teens,,the 17 yr olds, and let them spend it. You know they will. Or better yet,,,send each taxpaying citizen a $50 gas card

I'm still waiting for my first one.....oh that's right, I only get to pay for those that others are getting and I don't get one of any kind. Guess I need to pay my "fair share".

Tidbit, exactly! Just give me that money in my stimulus check. I could have put it to much better use!

AND Another stupid thing? that $50 million could have gone to teenagers. You want to stimulate the economy??? Give a teenager $300 and send them to the mall.

I'm still angry that because my daughter was 17 at the time of taxes - we still claim her as a dependent living at home - but can't claim tax credit. She works - made almost $5,000 last year.

She doesn't get anything. We don't get the stimulus for her because she's too old to claim, but she doesn't get anything because we do claim her as a dependent. >.< How stupid is that?!? She'd have been happy to stimulate the economy with $300. she'd have spent it so fast I wouldn't have even known she had it till she came home with bags.
