Dude, Where’s my Stimulus?
Well, I was expecting direct deposit of my economic stimulus payment this week based on the final two digits of my Social Security number and… it hasn’t shown up yet! In addition, the IRS Web tracker states that my stimulus payment hasn’t been sent yet. Of course, I know why: it wasn’t processed by April 15th. Since I always owe money on April 15 (and if I didn’t, I’d fix it so I did the next year), the tax returns never go out until the last possible two days. However, the IRS has cashed my check, so I was hoping that the payment would be on its way…
But it didn’t help my anxiety level to discover that a bunch of directly deposited stimulus payments were sent to incorrect accounts.
While I’m certainly not dying financially, getting the stimulus would really, really help! Particularly my bid to get to KansasFest for yet another year!
Mine’s nowhere to be seen, too.
Join the club. If you filed too late for it to be processed by April 15th, they say to give it 6 weeks. I filed on the 15th, so we’re coming down to the wire here (and I really, really need that money!).
