Where is My Government Tax Rebate Check?

There could be many reasons why you either received a smaller than expected government tax rebate check or you did not receive one at all. Here is a list of possibilities for the missing payment:

Under normal circumstances you will receive your rebate check in the same manner that you receive your annual tax return. If you normally receive your return in the mail then you can expect your rebate check in the mail as well. If you have requested your return by direct deposit then this payment should also be direct deposited. There is one exception to this.

If you have recently used tax preparation software then your check will be mailed automatically and will not be direct deposited. This will happen if you had your tax preparation fees automatically deducted from your return. The stimulus payment calendar went according to the last two digits of your social security number and all stimulus payments for 2008 should have already been completed.

TurboTax Online will automatically alert you if you are eligible for the recovery rebate credit. Visit TurboTax Online to prepare your tax return and have a second chance at a stimulus payment.
