Ha -- I rec'd a SECOND check yesterday, "reimbursing" me the amount of owed taxes I paid prior to them sending out my first stimulus check w/ my owed taxes deducted from the original $$$$$$$ SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS $$$$$$$ despite me having paid the owed taxes well in advance (more than 1 month?) prior to the check being cut. GOVERNMENT IN ACTION AWRIGHT

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.

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).

got that too and shit is like twisting the knife...goin' on a road trip tomorrow and barely have enough $ for gas, woulda been great if the check was here today, but nope, i'll have the money after the weekend, when i don't need it nearly as much. plus I filed w/ direct deposit and had originally assumed i'd be getting this 2 months ago. and fuck, why send a letter a week beforehand? JUST SEND THE FUCKING CHECK IN THAT ENVELOPE ALREADY.

If your taxable income was under X (like $10k) you only got $300.

Finally it has happened to me Right in front of my face My feelin's can't describe it Finally it has happened to me Right in front of my face And I just cannot hide it
Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams The one and only true love or at least it seems With brown coco skin and curly black hair It's just the way he looks at me, that gentle lovin' stare
Finally you come along The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong If you only knew the way I feel about you I just can't describe him oh no no
CHORUS CHORUS
It seemed so many times he seemed to be the one But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun But now you've come along and brightened up my world In my heart I feel it I'm that special kind of girl
Finally Ooooooooh finally yeah yeah Oh
RAP: True love, a feelin' I never knew Until you came into my life and now it's real I never knew that I would find the time Before you I thought love was blind
And my life was coastin' out my emotion Too strong for words, you're set for devotion A-pushin' me from mutual attraction True love, the chemical reaction
Then my actions Reflect those of a way to makin' this a better love A never ending plan like man and wife Flavourful to my life like a spice
Summon me to death, you're my big mean of protection My one and only source of affection So I'm puttin' all games behind me I've been lookin' for the key to love and I've found it finally
CHORUS (to fade)
― some dude, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link
wow, i just got a letter from the IRS copping to the fact that they never sent me my stimulus check.
"we are required by law to mail the economic stimulus payment by dec. 31, 2008. we could issue the check by this date so you will note get the payment based on your 2007 tax account. however, you may be able to claim a credit on your 2007 federal return."
that's not quite as fun.

we could issue the check by this date so you will note get the payment
