Economic Stimulus Check?

Question

For those of you who are lucky enough to have recieved your Economic Stimulus Check. Is there a letter included saying it is the Economic Stimulus Check? Are the words Economic Stimulus Check printed on the check somewhere? I recieved a check in the mail, I don't know is this a tax refund or is this my Economic Stimulus Check . The amount I was expecting for my Economic Stimulus Check and the amount of the check I recieved don't agree.

Answer 1

no print at the back. you will receive your check by an ordinary mail

Answer 2

Run your info from your tax return through the calculator at http://www.irs.gov/app/espc/ - a lot of people think they are getting the maximum amount possible, but aren't eligible for that much.

If you didn't get your refund yet, and the amount matches the refund you were expecting, then it's most likely your refund.

Answer 3

Q. I received a check in the mail from the federal government. How can I tell whether it is my stimulus payment?

A. Look for the words, “2008 Economic Stimulus Payment” on the front of the check, below your address.

besides the checks are usually colorful w/ the Statue of Liberty on them and I think they say U.S. Treasury or something.
