if you really think that it's been sent, report it stolen. the irs sucks, but they'll do something about it. al had to do that with his tax return this year.

I got A LETTER yesterday saying my check is coming by FRIDAY. How efficient.

Yeh, I got one yesterday saying the same thing. While it does seem silly, and I am eager to mock inefficiencies, I think it's meant to be a safeguard against stolen or lost checks.

Jesse, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 18:16 (fifteen years ago) link

uh i got that letter on may 12, saying i would have my check by may 16. i still don't have the check. i called the irs yesterday about a different issue and they said they were mailing our check this friday and we should have it within two weeks. the point being, don't put too much credence in what that letter says

god we're getting a paper check and our last ssn numbers are SO HIGH. all the way to july for us:(

sunny successor, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link

although i strongly suspect if i got that check today id be saying in july something along the lines of i wish we were getting a $1500 check this month

sunny successor, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

So I owed the USG money. They sent me a bill w/ a 1% late fee attached since I was stupid enough not to pay when I originally filed. I sent them a check. They cashed it. Then I get my stimulus check a few weeks later (a week after I got my COMING FRIDAY teaser) w/ the amount I owed deducted. WHAT THE FUCK GEORGE.

Yeah, ours had our final tax bill deducted too. I don't see how last year's taxes and this year's bribe have anything to do with each other!

I got mine of Tuesday, but I'd already spent most of it in pre-windfall anticapation.

Virginia Plain, Thursday, 19 June 2008 15:13 (fifteen years ago) link

^ true American

I'm tempted to actuall call the IRS (HA) about this, but given I owed last year, maybe now we'll be square for next year. Tho thinking about calling reminds of those halcyon pre-911 days when my then-roommate would light up a joint and call the IRS to bitch about how the income tax was unconstitutional and then not give supermarkets his personal info when signing up for a frequent shoppers' card and got one under the name LYSANDER SPOONER.

I'M STILL WAITING!!!! and after last weekends shennanigans i really need it. there are records to buy and shows to see and drugs to score and beers to drink.

Check came yesterday. Can't cash it because it needs two signatures and my wife is out of the country. It will end up paying retroactively for a crown my wife recently had installed in her mouth. Easy come...

Woohoo! I guess I'll get a second check too! I thought that "we're deducting the amt of tax you owed" was bullshit if we'd already paid it.

Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:51 (fifteen years ago) link

Sheeeit, I got mine back in May and I barely remember it, it was gone so fast...

kate78, Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link

I rec'd my first check within 7-10 days of the date I was sent (which I don't think was the date tied to my SSN).

David R., Tuesday, 24 June 2008 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link

I kind of thought that L-T was out of the $600 refund bracket.

I'm in the $350 bracket, I think.
