TURBO TAX and Stimulus check

[Rson]

I just got this from Intuit:


Dear Valued Customer,

We want to provide you with the most up–to–date information about the tax rebate to which you may be entitled.

Recently, you may have received a letter from the IRS advising you when to expect your Economic Stimulus Payment (rebate). That IRS letter may have inadvertently left off some important information. Taxpayers who chose to have their tax preparation fees deducted from their federal tax refund will receive their tax rebate in the mail, not via direct deposit.

Our records show that you chose this payment option in TurboTax. As a result, the IRS has determined that you will receive your tax rebate in the mail. This may result in you receiving your rebate on a date later than expected.

This situation, while not unique to TurboTax, is understandably causing some concern and confusion. To help further clarify the situation, below is the most current IRS rebate payment processing schedule, as well as additional resources about the tax rebates.

I hope you find this information helpful. If you still have questions, the best source for the most up-to-date information is www.irs.gov (see the "Rebate Payment Questions" link).

Sincerely,

Bob Meighan

Vice President, TurboTax Customer Advocacy

If you used someone else to file your taxes (IE HR Block, Turbo Tax etc.) and paid their fees by taking it out of your tax return, then you will get a check.

If you pay with another means (IE, out of your pocket, credit card etc.) and elected to have your rebate direct deposited, then you will get it via direct deposit.

The Gov't is giving $600 'tax rebate' checks to each tax payer that files this year - unless of course you make 'too much' money then you get nothing.

Dang! And all these years I thought I was just supposed to pay and then pay some more...(I'd better shut up before I say something political and get the thread locked)......Ben
