What the hell man. I do direct deposit and I'm lower than CatMac on the number scale. They must really be doing this in a haphazard way...I filed well early as well...


Hmmm..I used TaxCut, I wonder if that's going to cause the same freaking issue.

How does it work if you had to PAY and used direct payment from the checking account? Electronic payment or Paper?

I believe the only way it causes a paper check is if you paid for the use from your refund.

If you bought turbotax, paid for the online use of turbotax with a credit card, or paid from a balance in checking account, I think you are fine for direct deposit.

You must be correct because I purchased Turbo Tax and paid for my fees with my debit card instead of having it deducted from my refund. My stimulus check showed up right on time in my account.

See, there sending them all to Michigan first because most of us are either laid off, on strike, no job, just took another cut in pay, or just plain broke......:grin: :grin: :grin:

Got mine. Gave my wife and youngest daughter their cuts (kids is for college). Turned mine into a few Carlito GOF 2005s and a couple OpusX. The rest goes into the boat and bike:smokingbo

I had my refund direct deposited and have not received my stimulus rebate yet. I read somewhere though that if you had your refund fees (H&R Block) taken out of your refund instead of paying up front then you will have your rebate mailed to you for some strange reason.

I've heard the same. I guess it's because H&R block collects your refund and distributes it to you or some smack like that. I did mine through Taxact(.com) and received mine a few weeks ago.

I did my taxes and got my refund back in Feb. Got my "stimulus" check like three weeks ago or so. Just sent the whole thing to my credit card. Gotta pay that sucker back down after all the moving expenses....
