IRS - Is your check missing?

I thought everyone rated it, even if your earnings were non-taxable?

It all depends on all types income one makes or doesn't make. And my dad is getting a small check due to retiremnet funds [b][/b]& his SS checks etc. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Nope..I made sure and looked at the IRS website itself...people with SSI-D are eligible, but not plain SSI..figures

Here's hoping there are no further problems. You know heads are going to roll over this one.

I hope yours isn't involved in the mixup. Normally this kind of thing is very safe, but even a computer can mess things up if incorrect program or data is input.

This is a government agency and that mistake should not have been made. Even if one person made the error someone else should have picked up on it before all those checks were disbursed. This is just my opinion.

I imagine it could have been something as simple as a wrong keystroke. I don't know how you can QA something like that. I'm not excusing anyone, but no one is infallible.

Well I don't think name-calling is going to get anyone their money any time sooner. And I doubt it was 'they' - more likely one person that made a major error. Regardless, it's still a mess and I wouldn't want to be in the middle of it when hards start rolling.

I'm still waiting on mine because I filed my taxes late. I don't usually mess with the April 15th deadline since I get e refund. Why is it everyone expects all government workers to be perfect? They are people, just like everyone else. I agree, this was a major screw up and someone needs to pay, but it sorta bothers me when something like this happens and everyone bad mouths all government workers.

Sorry if I made it seem like I was putting down ALL government workers... I did not mean it to sound that way. I just get so frustrated sometimes by the few. And, really, I was not trying to put down the workers themselves. I was mainly referring to the system as a whole. My ex-huband was in the military (Navy) and I can not tell you how many times his paycheck got messed up. Also, he was married previously before me and the child his ex-wife and him had together ended up not even being his! So, up until this day, the government still has the child that was never his in the first place on his record as being his child. He has tried to get him taken off so many times to no avail. The kid must be about 18 by now! We just got our stimulus check by the way. I hope it is ours! LoL! I guess we better check to make sure that it isn't someone elses check.

Yea, no kidding. Since they told everyone when to expect their check, some no doubt used money on hand for other things and needed this check. That's why I never spend anything until I have the money in hand.

Hmmm, I wonder why? I'd be looking into that further (or maybe he already has?)

yeah I am going all out as far as techiness huh? You can just call me a nerd or geek. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Ohmygoodness, you ARE going hi-tech! You won't have time for myLot with all that other stuff to do.

That's a good question, and I'm sure it won't be easy. You know that people who got the money in error aren't going to want to give it up, but they will have to. What a mess ...

thank you for the B.R!!!

The link was for a very short video, only a few seconds. It just said that due to a computer error, all those deposits were made to wrong accounts or banks or somesuch. I'm sure that everyone that received one that wasn't theirs will have it recouped by the IRS. I don't think they'll be involved with getting it to the right person.

Hmmm ... Well I'm sure there is more updated information out there anyway. I don't know personally what the latest is.

Oh wow, that's terrible. I guess they don't know what they're doing unless it's for regular tax refunds. They probably hired extra workers to deal with this out of the ordinary stuff, and boy, it didn't pay out well did it.

It's definitely a mess. I'm not sure what the plan is to get the money to the right places, but I'm sure it will take a bit of time to straighten out.

We got ours on the 9th of May, and it came direct deposit, because thats how we filed our taxes. I heard that they are going by the last two numbers of your s.s. number, whoever's name is on your taxes first. Ours has my husbands name on it first and his last two numbers are 73. And we didn't get the full amount we were expecting, it was less, somehow they figure what your income was and they go by that. So don't be surprised if you don't get what you were thinking. We thought we'd be getting the 1200.00 for a couple, but nope it was less than that.

Why is it you think no one cares? And do you think someone intentionally 'screwed you over'? The government didn't have to give this stimulus check to anyone. I would think most people would be happy to get it at all, even if it is a bit later than they expected. If you had the money spent before it even arrived, that is no one's fault but your own.

I hope it comes quickly for you, Steph. I'm still waiting on mine since I just filed my taxes last week.
