I got an IRS stimulus rebate letter saying i'll get my rebate on the 27th.....but It never came in the mail...

Question

what can i do now? wait or call?

thanks

Answer 1

Just wait.  The letters are poorly worded.  It should have said that it will be MAILED by the 27th, not that you'd receive it by then.  The IRS can't control mail times.

Answer 2

The letter indicated a date they they should be mailed out, but it will take anywhere from a few days to a week because they are coming through the postal system. Lots of people I know went through the same thing...it will come, just give it a few days. Happy spending!

Answer 3

The 27th was only 2 days ago and there is no mail delivery on Sunday in the U.S. (except for special delivery and Express Mail).  If they sent it on the 27th, it might still be in the mail.  Wait a few more days.  Keep in mind that the IRS is closed on the 4th for a holiday.  Call after the mail is delivered on the 3rd, if you still do not have it then.

Answer 4

Wait.  The date on the letter is the date it would be mailed by - it will probably come in the next few days.
