Where, oh where, is my economic stimulus check????

Question

We were expecting our economic stimulus check around July 11th and we have not received it yet. We tried checking the IRS website and used the 'Where's My Check?' link and we were told that there was no information and we needed to call the IRS '800' number with a reference number we were given. We've tried calling several times and end up being on hold for 45 minutes or more, and we still haven't gotten through to them to ask what's up. I don't have a whole lot of time to sit on the phone waiting. Is there anyone else out there who still have not gotten their payment? What's going on? Any advice???

Answer 1

Did you use the rebate calculator to verify that you're getting one at all?  Did you file your return on time?

Answer 2

Are you sure you are eligible? Enter your info at http://www.irs.gov/app/espc/start.do to check.

If you are eligible but efiled close to 4/15, or mailed your return after mid-March, or filed an amended return, or had anything on your return questioned, that would delay your stimulus check.

Answer 3

Call your local IRS office. They should be able to help you. You can also go into their office and speak with someone who will help you.

Answer 4

If there was no information online and the IRS told you to call, You'll need to call. No one here has a crystal ball.
