How will I recieve the tax stimulus check?
The Amazing KRISSY asked:
My Fiancee just filed for his taxes and with Turbo Tax and they asked how he would like to receive his stimulus check. I used Turbo Tax before the stimulus check was completetly approved so I was never asked that. I had my refund direct deposited into my account. Will the stimulus check also to the same thing?

yes. I believe they use the information off of your tax return.
How Rebates will be Processed:
The IRS will mail out two notices to taxpayers. The first notice will inform people about the rebate. The second notice will confirm the taxpayer’s eligibility, amount of the rebate that the IRS has calculated, and when the taxpayer should receive the rebate payment. Rebates will be sent by direct deposit, if bank account information was provided on the 2007 tax return, or by paper check.
Yep. If you had your refund direct deposit, the stimulus will be put in the same account. It starts in May, and they go in order of the last 2 numbers of your social.
most likely since your refind was direct deposited, then most likely your stimulus check will be deposited the same but not necessarily
Yes, if you had your refund direct deposited, your stimulus check will be direct deposited into the same account. If you go to the link below there is a table in the article of when you should expect you check as well.
I hope this helps.
i used turbo tax too and had the same question. i was looking on their help page and entered “stimulus”. they answered the question but i am not clear on if it was in regards to the preceding passage regarding the third party bank that handles their RAL refunds or if it directly pertains to us (meaning turbo tax users who e-filed) i know this kind of sounds goofy but if you read it you will either see what i mean, what they mean, or be more confused. here is the passage:
Will my economic stimulus payment be direct deposited into the same bank account?
No. With the recent enactment of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, TurboTax does not ask for deposit information for your economic stimulus payment.
The IRS says taxpayers who use certain financial transactions with third parties to obtain their refunds will receive their rebates by mail—even if they got or will get their refunds by direct deposit.
