Stimulus checks not what they are cracked up to be!!!

[tsquared]

Was talking to a local banker this morning and they said some people are being surprised with the amounts they arent getting,,,,,,,,,,,saying the key words are up to $300 and up to $600........go figure

[Crick]

Mine was exactly what they said I would get.

[catdance]

I just got mine, said what it would be, however, I fail to see how $300.00 will change much on my end, I am single, but I have bills and such as well as anyone so I could go to Target, or Macys, I am saving mine for a HUGE RAINY DAY..$300.00 is MAD MONEY for me for others a small means of survival..and in some cases, some friends of mine are going to the grocery to stock up on canned goods and such..and one day as they say, those canned goods, will run out..and then what?
Weird George Bush Sr., did the same cash stimulus and I thought it was grand, but as I get older, it seems it really isn't so much..even at $600.00 my best friend will try to hold her out of foreclosure..so nothing fun for her..at all....but I send her family care packages every 2 weeks, so I try..

[whatever]

Yep, we were hoping for the 1200 like they talked everywhere. And then at that site it said 600. what a let down. We were going to use it in our upstairs repairs. If he thinks this is going to help boost the economy he is sadly mistaken. He still denies we are in a recession for god sakes. probably because he is loaded, surrounded by other people who are loaded:getyou

[GlitterBug]

Still patiently waiting for mine LOL.

[CLARKS4]

I didnt get my hopes up on gettig a large amount. Whenever it gets here, we will then get excited. Even if its $300 it will still help. It will be used for bills though if we can survive that long. LOL

[Willow]

We are getting $1500 instead of the $2100 like we had thought but every bit helps.

[justme23]

Ours was actually more than what we thought we'd get (Thank you Lord). We assumed since I don't work that we would only get $600 for my husband but they sent the $1200. I don't know why it happened that way. I do know that my Nana is only getting $900, her sister who did her taxes said it is because she got so much back on her tax return that she basically didn't pay taxes so she would get the minimum. I really don't understand the formula they used to figure it all out.

[Mom2Shaun]

Isn't there a site where you can figure out exactly how much yours will be?

[bichonlove]

Waiting for mine to and not very patiently.

It frustrates me that because my son was 17 at the end of 2007, we don't qualify for any of the stimulus payment for him....He still lives here, as my child, is still in school....so how fair is that supposed to be? But some is better than none, I grant you that.

[gmyers]

They aren't mailing ours till June 27th. We sure could use it now. But I'm thankful we're getting it.

[SHERY123]

we got ours yesterday 1800.00 :) married with 2 kids:)

[Shancopp]

we got ours yesterday 1800.00 :) married with 2 kids:)

same

[CLARKS4]

we got ours yesterday 1800.00 :) married with 2 kids:)

Do both of you work? Just wondering, I dont work and dont know if they will count me or not. We always file our taxes as married filing joint though.

[sunflowers]

I dont think it matters if you work..My sisters doesnt work has 3 kids and got 2100

[flute]

I hope we get the 1800 cus the mechanic's took more than 1K of it!!

[Shancopp]

I dont think it matters if you work..My sisters doesnt work has 3 kids and got 2100

we're married, filed joint...2 kids. I reported no income this year and we got 1800.

[ttistin]

we got $1800, We were expecting $2100 so it hurt a little but we were happy to get what we got.






I realized I made a mistake when I posted this, We did not get $1800 we received $1500.

[Anig2u]

I think they go by your income...meaning even if one spouse doesn't work if the other one made more money then you will get the full $600 for both. Even still if both spouses worked but had a lower income one may only get the $300 while the other gets the full $600...and each child is $300. Don't quote me on this it is only what I gathered...lol.

[twinkiesmom]

Yeah, no kidding. I could see if he filed his own taxes . . . but if you're still claiming him, u should be able to get him included. Now if u'r not claiming him anymore, he's claiming himself, then I guess there's no legit complaint.

But if you are claiming him usually . . . what's the problem w/getting it for him?

[flute]

meaning even if one spouse doesn't work if the other one made more money then you will get the full $600 for both. Even still if both spouses worked but had a lower income one may only get the $300 while the other gets the full $600...and

lol so the ones who have $ get more $ & the ones who don't get less?

This sounds like our government ;)

[Anig2u]

Yup..isn't that the way it always works!! Rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

[Airbuswife]

we got ours on friday and every penny went towards bills.... i WISH i had $2100 to splurge on something i would really like, i havent had that luxury for YEARS!!

[Willow]

We were expecting the $2100 (Kevin, myself and he claimed his two kids and my son) but we were told that we we would only be getting $1500. I don't work.

[PrincessArky]

we we are getting 300 less than we thought we would BUT I have to honestly say I will NOT complain because this is something they didn't even have to do for us AND I feel we are getting less because we already got free money when we got some (although very little) earned income credit.......at least I think we got that it might have been that other child credit thing.

[magenta]

We were expecting the $2100 (Kevin, myself and he claimed his two kids and my son) but we were told that we we would only be getting $1500. I don't work.


This is us too. 2 adults 3 kids $1500.


And about the age 17 being the cut off, it is because the cut off for Child Tax Credit is 17 yrs old. (At least that is how I understood it)

[sandooch]

And about the age 17 being the cut off, it is because the cut off for Child Tax Credit is 17 yrs old. (At least that is how I understood it)

You would think it'd be 18 years old before they cut off our kids. At least they'd be adults then.

[flute]

Well now I know what the mechanic charged so I pray we get back $1800 LOL!!!!! Nothing really for bills - rofl but at least we didn't have to put the truck on the credit card - still waiting on our $ - says we should have it by Friday woohoo

[sandooch]

Yes!!! Finally, the IRS site is showing what our family will get. Here is what it said as of this morning:


Your total Stimulus payment was calculated as $1,500.00 and consists of the following:

Basic Amount: $1,200.00.

Qualifying Child Amount: $300.00 (Based on 1 qualifying children).

Your payment of $1,500.00 is scheduled to be deposited to your bank on May 9, 2008. If you do not receive the credit by May 14, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then.


You guys had me nervous that we might just get $900 because I don't work outside the home. Of course, I would be grateful for any amount but, like many here, we could sure use that $600 extra. :D

[freeby4me]

OK I just checked again and its finally updated for us too.

SO is getting 723.00 based on 423.00 for him and 300.00 for DS. Because we're not married and I didnt work enough last year Im not getting my amount.

Our check is to be MAILED on May 16th.

[suprtruckr]

holy chitsky :rolling i was finally able to check mine and when i filed it said i was getting 300...

this is what it just told me


Your total Stimulus payment was calculated as $600.00 and consists of the following:

Basic Amount: $600.00.
Qualifying Child Amount: $0.00 (Based on 0 qualifying children).
Your payment of $600.00 is scheduled to be issued on May 8, 2008. If you do not receive your check by June 5, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then

[MsLynn]

ok, the irs web site says mine will be 1158.00 HOW WEIRD IS THAT????, anyone else get such a strange amount?????

[VenusA423]

Yeah, no kidding. I could see if he filed his own taxes . . . but if you're still claiming him, u should be able to get him included. Now if u'r not claiming him anymore, he's claiming himself, then I guess there's no legit complaint.

But if you are claiming him usually . . . what's the problem w/getting it for him?

Is it because this will have to be claimed on NEXT year's taxes, when he'll be 18?

I don't know what we're getting.. either $1200 or $1800... I don't work and I've heard both. Think I'll be getting it later on in the week, so guess we'll see.

[flute]

ok, the irs web site says mine will be 1158.00 HOW WEIRD IS THAT????, anyone else get such a strange amount?????

They may be taxing some people's checks, I think I read Alabama residents checks might get taxed - remember this is a LOAN - we will be repaying it..

[flute]

Is it because this will have to be claimed on NEXT year's taxes, when he'll be 18?


But if he's 17 this year, when we'll file the taxes we're getting the loan for..that makes no sense...

[cabby92]

ok, the irs web site says mine will be 1158.00 HOW WEIRD IS THAT????, anyone else get such a strange amount?????

The payment is based on your tax liability. If your tax was $558.00 and you have two kids they would add $600.00 making your payment $1158.00. It can go from 0 to 1200 per married couple and 300 per child. The child's amount follows the rules for the child tax credit and that stops the year the child turns 17.

thanks,, just everyone else was getting even amounts, lol. was weird,, I'm not complaining in the least, lol just thought it was an odd amount.

[cabby92]

Q. Is my stimulus payment taxable?

A. No. You will not owe tax on your payment when you file your 2008 federal income tax return. But you should keep a copy of the IRS letter you receive later this year listing the amount of your payment.

Q. If my stimulus payment is not going to affect my 2008 tax refund or increase the tax I owe next year, why is it I need to retain the letter that lists how much I received?
A. In the event you do not qualify for the full amount on your 2007 return but you do on your 2008 return, you will need to have the letter as a record of the amount you previously received. [New 4/11/08]

Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?
A. No, the stimulus payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.

[Jenefer3]

I checked mine and the IRS website finally says something different but still no real information.

We are sorry. Specific information about your Stimulus payment is not available.
Possible reasons include:

* Your payment may still be coming, but has not yet been scheduled. Information will be available here as payments are issued based on the last two digits of the primary SSN shown on your 2007 tax return. Specific information about your Stimulus Payment will not be available until about one week before your payment is scheduled to be issued. See the complete Payment Schedule below for more information

I should be getting mine towards the end of May and it should be $1200 but we'll see

[JKATHERINE]

Damn! It still doesn't show when mine's coming... :(

mine didn't show up till today, and mine is supposed to be there this friday, so i'm betting ya'll will be getting yours on the 16th and it'll show up on their website on monday

Yeah it says we wont be taxed on it, but, all over the news down here they are saying that Alabama residents MIGHT be taxed because of some stupid bill that they took their sweet time passing....I need to check up on that.

[cabby92]

Individual states can pick and choose but the feds have put their rules in place.

[flute]

Individual states can pick and choose but the feds have put their rules in place.

Basically the gov't can do what the gov't wants.

Even though they "say" that it won't affect our 08 taxes, I wouldn't bet $ on it..they are paying us with BORROWED $ from China, they gotta pay 'em back somehow eh?

[dcut4]

Just checked and it said ours would be deposited on May 9th. Thats the original date when all this started.

I thought we would get 2100--2 working adults and 3 kids but we are getting 1500. Said we didn't make enough and the 2 adults are getting 600 together not each. Still got 300 per child. Oh well every bit helps (especially when you don't make enough to start with:sob )

[lassss]

wow I am not sure of the circumstance as to why you don't receive it for him but my son was 16 at the end of 2007 and working and we got the credit for him. If he works and made more then 3K, he will receive his own check. My son made just under 3K but I am still going to give him the $300


It frustrates me that because my son was 17 at the end of 2007, we don't qualify for any of the stimulus payment for him....He still lives here, as my child, is still in school....so how fair is that supposed to be? But some is better than none, I grant you that.

[kidzpca]

I'm getting the entire 1800 I expected but not until about may 16 the date of the original timing of sending checks.

[sandooch]

That is because the cut off age for the child tax credit is 17 years old. My daughter turned 17 on December 31, 2007, so she did not qualify for the child tax credit for our 2007 refund even though we claimed her on our taxes, nor did she qualify for the $300 rebate for the stimulus rebate we are getting on Friday (I still feel that 18 years old should be the cut off age, but who am I to say?).

Anyway, your son won't qualify on your tax refund for the child tax credit next year because he'll be 17 years old then, even though you claim him on your taxes.

Hope that makes sense.

[Shancopp]

I got a paper from the IRS today stating I would not have to report the 1800 as income next year when filing.

[galeane29]

I got that same paper last week, I also got some stuff from Social security but thats becuase I get Social security.

[Unicornmom77]

Same with us sweetie! We were hoping for more and it said us the 9th and $1,800...

We will still be able to get a fence and a shed. I was just hoping to able to pay off this one bill... Uhg!

The system still sucks so bad... the government is a freaking joke! :withstupid: :slap :beamup

[MistyWolf]

We actually got more back than we thought.

[lassss]

ok I understand now and I agree also that the cut off should be 18


That is because the cut off age for the child tax credit is 17 years old. My daughter turned 17 on December 31, 2007, so she did not qualify for the child tax credit for our 2007 refund even though we claimed her on our taxes, nor did she qualify for the $300 rebate for the stimulus rebate we are getting on Friday (I still feel that 18 years old should be the cut off age, but who am I to say?).

Ditto! By that time all of our will be on our house mortgage or we will be living out of a cardboard box. Whew, you would think with two people working we could keep our heads above water.

[flute]

We got every penny of what they said we would today - now it goes BYE BYE to the mechanic - arg!

[RNB16]

Ours was in our account this morning and we got the full $2100 we were expecting, THANK GOD!!

[Unicornmom77]

My bank is behind the times and is not totally computerized so I have to wait for them to open and make the deposit, I hope it came!!

[rlynn411]

Ours was direct deposited this morning $1800.00. 2 working adults and 2 kids.

[MsLynn]

i got mine this morning, but i was so far in the whole its already gone, lmao

[Unicornmom77]

It was deposited as promised... $1800 two working adults and four kids...

[lassss]

We got our check today!!!! my son is getting his xbox today

[teenap]

we got ours this morning also, the amount that we were told when we filed

[whatever]

i can see ours yet, bummer!!!

[sandooch]

Yippy! Ours was in the bank this morning. My sister is still waiting on hers though. Bummer!

[GlitterBug]

Mine was supposed to be there the 6th, then the 9th and it still isn't there :(

[dv8grl]

Got all they said I would today, on the day they said I would have it.

[slkirk22]

Just to let everyone know who didnt get theirs yet that if you efiled and had them take your filing fees out of you refund you will get a paper check. My sister called on hers and this is what they told her. Also if you owed taxes or child support and they need to deduct those you will get a paper check.

[freeplease]

:twitch :confused: No fees taken out of ours, and no deposit yet. And we're in the May 9 grouping.

I guess the government ran out of money.

[slkirk22]

Also wanted to add if you did rapid refund you will get a paper check also.

[dc613353]

we did dd and then filed an amendment soooooo now they will mail ours rather than dd

[babydoll_jen]

we did dd and then filed an amendment soooooo now they will mail ours rather than dd

We did the same thing and the lady I talked to the other day said once my amended return showed processed in the system our stimulus check would automatically be deposited. Our amended return didn't make much difference either, but you know how the IRS is. And the sad part is, it takes them 8-12 weeks to get the ball rolling and I didn't send mine out until the end of March.

[galeane29]

No fees taken out of ours either, I did e-file through H&R Block website, no money for us yet.

OMG! Are you serious? Well, that could explain the hold up on my money that I was suppose to get deposited yesterday. I sent my amended thing in Feb. and should get that money by next month at the latest. So, until they send out that last little bit they owe me, I won't get my stimulus check deposited??? That blows. I totally forgot about it, too, because I haven't gotten anything. Never even thought that would make a difference.

You can call the IRS hotline (1-800-829-1040) to find out the status of your amended return. If you sent yours out in Feb., it sould have been completed by now. When I called about mine, they said anything after the date of March 25 has not been processed yet. If you use the automated system and punch in the number if you sent your return out before March 25, they connect you to a live operator and they SHOULD be able to tell you what is wrong. I did my amended return on my own and am just hoping I did all of the math right and sent in all the right forms. If you forget to dot one i and cross one t, they will deny it.:getyou

I did my own as well online. They had sent me an email when it was time to do the amended part. And here I was glad that I was getting some money back from all the tuition I paid to my daughter's school, but it's become a pain in the butt for just $185! Especially since I probably would have had my big amount now without it. Ah well. Thanks for the number.. I will be calling tomorrow to see what's up.

[browny2000]

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but if you filed, did direct deposit and had it go to several accounts then you will also get a paper check...bummer!
I should have gotten mine on Friday 5/9; found out about the paper check thing just tooling the web - now it looks like May 30th for me.Oh well...I won't complain.I'll take whatever I can get and say thank you! :rofl:

[GlitterBug]

I was supposed to have got mine the 9th and it still hasn't been deposited. I might have hubby give them a call tomorrow and see what's going on :(

[DBackFan]

Finally it says something about mine!

Your total Stimulus payment was calculated as $2,100.00 and consists of the following:

Basic Amount: $1,200.00.
Qualifying Child Amount: $900.00 (Based on 3 qualifying children).
Your payment of $2,100.00 is scheduled to be deposited to your bank on May 16, 2008. If you do not receive the credit by May 21, 2008, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then.

Helpful Information:
You should receive a notice showing the amount of your payment. Please hold on to it because you will need it when you prepare your 2008 tax return.

[mimi37]

Finally mine says my check will be mailed on May 23. Getting less than I thought though.

[sandooch]

Helpful Information:

Does it say this on their site? In the letter I received, it said...Note: You will not be required to report the amount of your stimulus payment as taxable income on your 2008 federal income tax return.

This is why I'm wondering why they'd want us to hold onto the letter.

I wondered the same thing. Also, our payment was deposited on May 2 like it was supposed to be. Then the following Friday we got a letter, dated May 5, stating when our money would be deposited (it said the 2nd, which it was) and if we didn't have the money in so many weeks after the date of the letter to let them know. How much money did they spend sending out the first letters to everyone letting us know we'd be getting a refund, then it seems like we received a second one and then this one. Somebody must be rolling in the money the government spent on postage just for those notices to go out to all the people!

[andreame70]

Sandooch, the payment will not be reported as income, but it will have to be reported in a different section of next years return.

This payment is an advance on a credit that everyone was going to be able to take next year. There will be a section on the form that asks how much of the credit you have already received as a stimulus payment. If you are entitled to more of a credit than what they sent, you will get it off your taxes next year.

It will have to be reported but not as additional income that you earned.

Hope this makes sense.

I, too, received my letter after the money was deposited. I've only received one letter before this one telling us we'd be getting a stimulus package, and I know the government spent over $4,000,000 to send those out. What a waste of money!

Sandooch, the payment will not be reported as income, but it will have to be reported in a different section of next years return.

This payment is an advance on a credit that everyone was going to be able to take next year. There will be a section on the form that asks how much of the credit you have already received as a stimulus payment. If you are entitled to more of a credit than what they sent, you will get it off your taxes next year.

It will have to be reported but not as additional income that you earned.

Hope this makes sense.

Yes it does and thank you for that reply. I'd better store that letter with last years tax papers.

we got ours last Saturday... it's gone now.

bills... I swear ... the collector's even HEAR a whisper of a "check" and they are banging down your door.

Luckily, the only thing that I "splurged" on was a 4 foot cedar / conifer tree for our side yard....it might not be much, but, eventually it will put out fresh air. LOL

Was yours direct deposited or paper? And if it were paper, when was it supposed be mailed out (according to their chart). I'm just curious because mine says May 30 is when it's supposed to be mailed out but then there was that talk about them sending things out a week earlier...so was curious which it was doing? TIA

we got the paper check.... I was wrong...we got it on Monday...(it's still gone).

the letter said we were to have it NO LATER THAN May 16, and that was a lie.

No kidding! The last two of my social is 05, but the website didn't give me any info till last Monday, then it said it wasn't going to be mailed until May 30th! BS :(

I just got a letter from them today saying that I will receive my by 5/30/08...but their website says it'll be mailed 5/30/08...so who knows.
