Saw on the news yesterday that this was entirely untrue 'disinformation'.

Mine was deposited this morning or last night.

yes, got mine today. good surprise:MOJE_whot:

Still cannot understand why there was withholding on a refund check. Taxes were already paid!

1. There wasn't any withholding
2. It's not a refund
3. It's a tax credit paid in advance

deposited last night

Prev Poster: Stimulus checks are going to be delayed several days due to adding Trump's signature.

This makes no sense. The Treasury Dept is under the gun, why would they make more work themselves?

I wasn't referring to the stimulus payment. I was responding to this post that was clarified later as NOT being a stimulus payment. It had 27% FIT withheld. Can not understand why??? Please go back and read the original intent of this post.

There IS a delay due to that. It's just a couple extra days, because the final decision on whether or not his name would appear, didn't come until recently and they had to print the checks.

The checks still weren't going to be sent out for another week or two, but now it's another week or two - plus a couple of days.

Meanwhile, the "My Payment" tracker on the irs.gov website says it can't determine whether or not I'm eligible to receive a stimulus check. I don't know why, we fell under the max in 2018 by around $40,000, and in 2019 we fell under it by just around $90,000. So we absolutely qualify.

If you didn't have a checking account on file with the IRS, only filed but never received a refund, then they start mailing checks May 4th at the rate of 5 million per week. Trumps name will appear in the memo stub, that has not delayed the printing at all. However, it may take up to 20 weeks to mail all the checks at this rate.

It's not tied to whether or not you got a refund. It's whether or not your bank account info was on file. Our bank account had been on file because we paid the taxes we owed electronically. No refund - payment. But the account info was in the system.

If you are currently collecting SS by direct deposit the stimulus check will be deposited the same way.

Now I find out we paid by check. But we only owed this past year, and the year before. Every other year before 2018, we got a refund, and the refund was always deposited electronically into our bank account.

But apparently that's not good enough for this stimulus check thing, they'll only go back to 2018. I checked the tool and there's no option to provide deposit information, if you paid tax by check in the past two years. ONLY if you got refunds by check in the past 2 years, or didn't file at all in the past 2 years.

So those of us who actually paid by check - will likely be among the last to see any of this stimulus check. So much for the new screen door. It was a nice thought, anyway. Maybe we'll get one in a few months.
