Where’s my rebate check?
Boy, people like their money. After we ran this story about what people are doing with their IRS stimulus checks, I received 10 phone calls. Most people wanted to know when their check would come or if they were getting one.
The IRS is the best place to find out.
If you know you’re getting one and are just wondering when, click here or call 1-866-234-2942. It all depends on whether you filed electronically or via mail, what your Social Security number is and if you filed close to the April 15 deadline and owed money (like me - I'm still waiting too).
Many people won’t see their checks until mid-July.
If you want to know if you’re getting one, generally speaking you will if you filed a tax return and made less than $75,000. For more specifics, click here. Or, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. If you haven’t filed your taxes and want a rebate check, it's not too late. People who don’t regularly need to file, but want to in order to get the check have until Oct. 15.
