Has anyone received there stimulus check even when they used Turbo Tax to deduct the tax prep fee? I have read

I used turbo tax and have been wondering the same question. I downloaded a copy of my 1040A and looked to see what the actual bank info was on the form that the IRS has. Sure enough my bank account # and Routing # was on my 1040A. So I tend to lean towards getting it directly deposited even though I elected to have fees taken out by Santa Barbra bank and trust.

The only thing that MATTERS is that YOU filed a 2007 Income Tax Return. PERIOD. It does NOT matter HOW you filed, only that you filed. TURBO TAX, nor any other method or program, have NO BEARING ON THIS ISSUE. If you filed your return and got a tax refund via DIRECT DEPOSIT to your bank account, then your REBATE CHECK will be direct deposited to your bank account. The TIMING of the deposit or check will be based on the LAST TWO digits of your SSN. SO if the last two digits of your SSN ar 01 thru 09, you will get yours very soon if not already sent. That is ALL anybody needs to know. 99..9% of EVERYTHING else is rumor, fluff, bs, lies, innuendo, false reports, speculation and gobble-de-****, and the other .1% simply isn't true. CHILL OUT. IT WILL GET THERE.

quantumrift is absolutely correct. i just got off the phone with a very polite & helpful man at the IRS. He specifically stated that whether you paid fees with TT, went to H&R Block or anything else had nothing to do with your stimulus check. Its plain & simple. If your original refund was direct deposited into YOUR bank account then thats how you will receive your stimulus refund. Any other way you'll get a check.

I use Turbo Tax, Direct depost, SBB&T last two numbers 00 and have recieved nothing yet

Those will be paid by check. Nobody has received a check payment yet as it will e 2 weeks or more before the IRS starts sending out rebate checks.

Why is everyone getting so upset about "expecting their money" on a certain date. Is everyone forgetting that this is money being given to you? It is free money, stop complaining and just be grateful you are getting anything.

That is wonderful news! We wouldn't be due til next week, but I was becoming pretty much convinced that it would be a paper check (even though I called the IRS and was told DD....another agent told me paper). I hope we continue to see more TurboTax/SBBT people (those who had just the fees held out, but didn't get an actual RAL) let us know if they received direct deposit.

last 2 05. used h&r block it is friday 05/02 at 4:29 and still nothing. i had the fees automatically deducted from my refund. just wish someone would give a straight answer. i am so confused. am i getting a check or electronic deposit?

What everyone is saying about the RAL's and having tax preparation monies taking out of your check is a LIE. And that QUANTUMR guy should really shut the hell up. Yes we will get the money but we should get it, when THEY SAID WE WOULD GET IT - PERIOD! Both me and my husband used turbo tax with direct deposit. I did my taxes in feb, I just did his on apr 14th. His last two are 20, mine are 11. He received his money on apr 28th. I'm still waiting. So....there goes that theory. Plain in simple, like all other things, the government is full of crap! We should have all known better then to think that they would do anything right! Now they are using the stupid excuse of telling people its because of RAL's??? Well how come they didn't state this prior to the day we were all expecting our money??? Why didn't we hear about this until we are all looking for our checks???? Regardless, my situation is proof that this is a lie. Both of our taxes were done the same way and my husband got his before mine.
