We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

People who choose direct debit to pay a balance due will receive their stimulus payments by paper check through the mail.

Ahhh, shit. Oh, well, so much for paying off that credit card this month.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Another good [link] :

Many people don't know that:

"In general, the payment schedule only applies if your return was received and the IRS finished processing it before April 15. If you filed your return on time, but close to the April 15 deadline, the IRS may not have finished processing it before April 15.

"Processing times for tax returns and stimulus payments vary. If you are getting a regular income-tax refund, the IRS will send you that refund first. Normally, your stimulus payment will follow one to two weeks later."

and

"Taxpayers...[who had] return preparation fees deducted from their refunds, cannot receive their stimulus payments by direct deposit and instead will get paper checks based on the paper check distribution schedule."

Dunno if any of that applies to you, Allyson.

I don't think so - last time it worked that way as an advance upon a (new) future tax cut, but my understanding is that it's set up differently.

I think my mental space at this moment can be summed up thusly: coworker walking by the door, talking about some random thing: "weebles wobble but they don't fall down." I call out "Unless I SMASH THEM."

I just managed to eat my lunch. I think I should have earlier.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

"weebles wobble but they don't fall down." I call out "Unless I SMASH THEM."

SO MUCH LOVE

Trust my rage

For those who don't have your check yet, like me, you can go here: [link] and it is supposed to tell you where your check is. (Or that they have no info which is what they say if they haven't processed it yet.)

The tax rebate is an advance credit for tax year 2008 and will be calculated on your 2008 return. If you're due a higher payment, you'll get the remainder next year when you file. If you received a higher rebate (payment) than you should have, you DO NOT have to pay it back. [link]

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

None of it applies to me, dcp. I filed early in mid-March and don't do paper.

ION, my wall tattoos have arrived!!!!! SO HAPPY!
