Thank you for stopping by. I have answered almost 500 e-mails and comments over the last few days. I don’t mind, but I am answering many of the questions multiple times.

Please read Frequently Asked Stimulus Questions.

Here is more information about How the Economic Stimulus Check Affects your 2008 Tax Return and about Personal Tax Breaks in the 2009 Economic Stimulus Plan.

The letter isn’t necessary to receive a rebate. It is just a reminder and brief explanation. As for changing your maiden name, I’m not sure what to do there. I think as long as your SSN remains the same, it shouldn’t matter. However, I’m not 100% positive, so I would recommend contacting a tax professional or the IRS. Good luck!

it is probably just a glitch in the IRS database. Doing anything else at this point has the potential to make the situation worse. I recommend contacting the IRS again until you can get it sorted out. I would not change any personal information.

It seems like you have done everything to qualify for a direct deposit, but some people have reported they will receive a paper check even though they paid the tax preparation service out of pocket instead of having the payment withdrawn from the refund.

Try using the official stimulus payment tracker at the IRS site, or contacting the IRS.

your situation is a little different, so I can’t tell you when you will receive your rebate. I recommend contacting the IRS.

There is a good possibility your rebate will be delayed, and it will likely come via the mail.

I’m not sure if you should receive a rebate or not. I recommend using the official stimulus rebate calculator at the IRS site. It should help you determine your eligibility and the amount if you are to receive one. Good luck!

A rebate is only given for dependents under age 17 as of December 31st, 2007. If someone is claimed as a dependent, they will not receive a rebate, even if they earned enough money to otherwise qualify.
