Stimulus Payments

What are Stimulus Payments?
It’s an economic stimulus payment that more than 130 million households will receive starting in May. It’s not taxable, and it won’t reduce your 2007 or 2008 refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.
Are you eligible?
The vast majority of people who file a 2007 income tax return qualify, and many who don’t regularly file a tax return may qualify as well. You’re eligible if you have a valid Social Security Number (SSN), can’t be claimed as a dependent on a tax return and have either an income tax liability or “qualifying income” of at least $3,000.
When will you get your payment?
Starting May 2, payments will be electronically transmitted to direct deposit accounts. Paper checks will be mailed starting May 16. The payments are based on the last 2-digits of the mail filer’s Social Security number. The IRS has issued a schedule for payments as direct deposits or paper checks.

Thanks for the information. I will have mine in the
bank friday. This is because of my husbands social
security number and the fact that we had our money
direct deposited. This money is going to help us pay
our mortgage payment and catch up some of our bills.
I am so very glad that the government decided to give
it to us. I am afraid that next year I will probably be
unhappy about it however. I keep hearing that they
are going to get it back from us when we file our
income taxes next year.

Yep, DD definitely pays off. I filed my taxes on Doomsday (April 15) and had the tax refund in my account on April 23
