I just got answers to these same questions last night.

If you file jointly, it's based on the primary filers SS number.

If you paid taxes, it depends on how you filed. When we did ours electronically with Turbo Tax, it actually asked us for our bank info for the pending stimulus check (which I hope means we get *something*), even though we had to pay. If you didn't use Turbo Tax and you never gave your direct deposit info, then it'll generate a paper check that gets mailed out to you. I don't think that paying electronically is enough info for it to refund electronically (but I'm not 100% sure about that).

$300 to put Nerf Bars on the truck so I can get in it. No it isn't lifted, I am just short on we have a steep driveway.

$900 to sit prettty in the savings account until September when we got to New Mexico to tackle the Enchanted Circle Century. :D

Don't feel bad. We're not getting a check, either. We'll probably just end up paying even higher taxes in the coming years.

We got one of ours today, I promptly transferred it to the savings account...only to find the $900 deposit I made on Saturday isn't showing ANYWHERE. :mad: I called the bank and had a chat with the manager, they managed to "find" the check in the proofing department where it had been kicked out by the reader. I explained to the manager that this is the fourth foul up they've made since they merged with another bank three months ago, if another one occurs I'll be moving my accounts to another bank...after 30 years with the current one.

Queen-

That sucks about the deposit. I'd change too if that kept happening:mad::mad: I try to keep records, and caught my bank short changing me on a deposit by about $200 not long ago. GRRRR....

Our schools in CA are getting funding cut AGAIN. I hope I am wrong. I'm no economist. But the priorities seem "off".

(And really, I am not bitter because we don't get the $. In fact we are getting a pretty hefty tax refund after over paying estimated tax and making less $ than our estimates for 2 years in a row. That money is going to reduce our debt. :rolleyes:)

MAybe this will make you feel a little better about who is getting the money.
My sister who has been going through some very bad times with her youngest search "Lorelie update")who has been sick since Dec needs this very much. The hospitol bills are huge and one of the Dr's was not checked into properly by the hospitol they were at and now have to pay him in full. So be happy that some very deserving people got it as well. But I would agree that our schools and what not could have used it very much as well.
I need to do a fund raiser for the poor things! And they still don't know what is wrong with her?:(

What bank is yours?
My bank last year offered us all this stuff when we opened our business account only to find we had been given wrong info. First our business credit card we were told we would have no interest unless we carry a balance. Low and behold there is interest no matter what. Then we were told "ohh that is a line of credit". Ahhh no one told us that. Then I get a service charge on a savings acount that came with the business checking account. A service charge of $50.00 because I am not keeping a 25k balance in the account! 25K???????what the? I had had $5.00 dollars in there for months.The bank manager had said that was all I needed to keep the account open. And why after 5 months all of sudden i get charged. Iwent into the bank and talked with the New manager (old one has since disappered). And he said he could not explain why all this was told to us. And he was very sorry! He reversed everything. Now I have him eating out of my hands! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. When i first told him all this stuff, after i said "Now I need you to redeem yourself with my business or I am going elsewhere"! And that was that!

Brandi-

Mine is BB&T. I'm forgiving them so far (it was only once). But if anything else happens, we may look around. I've had bad luck with Wachovia too (tried to give my mom the $$ in my account - I was well over 18 at the time).

Busey Bank, a large local bank. It's weird, I've known people there on a first name basis for years and years and they've NEVER had problems like this before...now that they've merged they've gotten too big for their britches.

I will probably pay off(almost) a credit card.

How do you know whether or not you get this "stimulus"?
If you got a refund or didn't owe you get one but if you had to pay you don't?

Use this calculator to see if you'll get a refund. I don't.

I am not getting a tax refund this year or any of the economic stimulus package. I okay with it. I wish instead of writing on check out, I could have written checks individually to all my friends and favorite charities. If any of you are wondering what to do with just a little of your extra money why not donate a small bit to those of us riding the Aids Ride.

My rider number is 5845, other TE Riders are: melissam, resumer, carolp, sarahoc.


Thanks!
