Tax Stimulus Dates Have Been Released

UPDATE - May 9 - My last 2 digits are 37,  and I just got the direct deposit today, May 9.


Everyone has been asking “when will I get my stimulus check?” Below is a table that the IRS put out recently, telling us when we can receive the Direct Deposit or check. The Tax Stimulus Dates are now announced.

    Stimulus payments starting early

      Treasury Department says it will deposit the first 800,000 payments four days earlier than expected in effort to boost economy. I cannot find a change to the schedule published on the IRS site though.

    Below are the schedules for the stimulus payments related to tax returns processed by April 15, 2008.
    If you want the whole stimulus explained in simple terms, read my post here called, “Tax Rebate Stimulus Details Explained“.

    Read the Bible for some real peace.

    Here is a link the the Tax Stimulus dates and info from the IRS site.

    The question is, what are you going to do with this money? The Government is betting that you will just go out and spend it. Will you? To stimulate the economy, this money needs to be spent right away on goods and services.

    I do realize that some who get the money, will have to use it to pay for food and shelter. I don’t want to seem uncaring in that regard. Food and shelter have to come first in any family budget. ( Thanks to a couple of commenter’s below, to remind me of this.) I have ate my share of beans and cornbread. Actually , I grew to like it as it was a routine food down on the farm.

    I will be putting this money toward a loan I took out to help pay for one of my son’s college tuition. That is not going to help the Government achieve their goals. Sorry Uncle Sam. ;) You can use this money to start that Roth IRA. See my post on 16 Roth IRA Facts and see all the reasons why you have to get that going.

    1. What can you do! We have to use the money for basic living expenses! After being laid off, my wife supports the family now. And Bush’s Oil buddies become richer over charging us for gas and getting tax cuts when they show higher record proffits every year 123.3 Billion dollars in 2007! Stop the bleed keep the rebate check and make big oil keep gas prices down. That would be more than a small stimulus rebate. Have to love the magician in Bush. He gives you money with one had while his big oil friends pick your wallet.

    2. we are going to use the rebate for basic living expences i lost my job and my husband is on disability we are living with my inlaws with 3 small children. what else can we do gas here is almost 4 dollars a gallon and 3 growing kids what else can we do oil companies are getting richer and the american people are getting poorer

    3. by thye time we get it gas will be so high that we wont be able to drive to the bank to cash it

    4. Daang people…if you hate living in American so much…why don’t you peepz leave….this is my country and I’m proud to be here! Go to Afghanistan or Somalia! There are people who are starving elsewhere and you people are complaining…heck I’m starving sometimes…but that’s when I work for my food and life…stop blaming others for your poorness…go and get a job…I work 3 jobs, and know that I have to support my family…but I am just happy to be an American and to have the freedoms we have. I know what it is like to live in the projects…but I tried myself to educate my bros. and sisters to live better lives…since we live in
      America, we have the options of being as wealthy or as poor as we want to be. I know there are exceptions for people with disabilities, but for the most part it is up to ourselves to make the best of our lives. Try to provide shelter for those in need…that is the American spirit!!

    5. well put joey

    6. I agree with Joey for the most part we all make our own decisions and as a result of if is the way our life is lived. I myself am a single mom of two kids and i make it just fine with no help from anyone.. I will be using my money to better my life and put it towards a new house.. If you don’t like something change it we do live in a free country and we have the choice to change our lives..Some people are just to lazy to do it..

    7. My last 2 digits are 66, which means I was supposed to get mine May 9th as well. But, nothing is in there.

    8. Yea, mine are 70, and still no cash . . . What’s the deal there? I’m using mine to fix up my car. (New suspension and tires) I need to get to and from work, after all. If there’s any left over after that, it’ll go toward the outrageous gas prices . . .
