O my! I just expirenced the same exact thing with my tax return defaulting to HR Block Bank account information on my return. I feel like no one will listen to me instead they just want to transfer me all over the place. How was your issue finally resolved I am seriously considering filing suit!

My husband and I did direct depost. Now they gave you two choices to pay 150.00 or 75.00 the difference was, waiting two weeks or right away. So here we are now 6/2/08 and no check. There are only three of us we made under the correct amount we had nothing go on that cause the check to be delayed. I put in my husbands social ending with 95 and the IRS shows nothing nata zilch….so my questions are do they reconize the direct deposit even though it was 75.00? How in the world do I talk to someone????

Hi everyone,
I surfed over here from Newsday.
I am on Social Security Disability payments and have a disabled adult-child. I was sent forms from the IRS and filed them approximately one month ago. Unfortunately I just raised my anxiety level reading the mis-deposits by the IRS, though I had those thoughts in the back of my mind since I heard the deposits were going out 4/28/08, and as of now have not received my DD check. I tried calling them this week but didn’t hang on too long as I want to conserve my cell minutes. I will call and hold on tomorrow if I don’t have the deposit. Any help will be appreciated from anyone here about this situation.
I am now wondering if I should worry since I have had DD since my payments began a few years ago. My adult child also is going to get a stimulus check and I did promise him a trip to his dad’s and would hate to disappoint me as my boy because he doesn’t take disappointments well emotionally.
TY for help you given me and for the information I’ve gotten from here so far.

My husband and I filed jointly with 2 dependents. We should have received a stimulus check in the amount of $1800 – A direct deposit was made into our account by the IRS on May 9th but only in the amount of $1200 – I have tried numerous times to no avail to get a hold of a live person at the IRS number I was given off of their web site to inform them of this error. I suppose the IRS doesn’t have an email they could be contacted through???? Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you handle it.

My husband and I did direct deposit and had H&R Block take the fees out of the refund but on our papers the routing number and bank account are not ours. It sounds like it goes to a general account and then to everyones accounts accordingly. So I went to the IRS website because we should have been in the first group and haven’t seen any money yet and our friends already have theirs. It soulds like we could be getting a paper check. Try here from the IRS page it’s “Where’s My Stimulus Payment?”

We did our own taxes with Turbo Tax on the web,at the end of January and got our refund direct deposited sometime in February We had the fees deducted from our refund. Are we goin to get a paper check or a direct deposit. ? The date for the direct deposit was today but we did not get it yet.

Hi,
Travis, I myself was wondering the same thing. If they bump the ones who had direct deposit through H&R block card to their last 2 digits of their ssn, or if they send a check out as soon as it’s rejected. I also called, and it tells me, no info is avail. I don’t understand myself, just checking the mail everyday.

I looked at my tax return that h&r block sent to the IRS and now i know for sure because i took the Ral and it went on my emerald card,i will be getting paper check not DD,because on my refund were it says direct deposit info i checked and it’s not my routing number nor my account number to my emerald card ,it must be the banks or h&r blocks.So that is why people that took the Ral will not be getting DD because the IRS dose not have are routing number or are account number.Sad thing is when i filed my tax and for the Ral i ended up having an offset of 100.00 and did not get my refund for 3 weeks but still had to pay fees to that bank for Ral.Now “NO” check for me until July 11 last # 93.

IRS doesn’t have your direct deposit information when you owe taxes and pay by check. you will receive your stimulus payment via mail approx mailed out on the May 16th unless time frame is bumped up.

Filed taxes e-file with turbo tax on April 11th. Had to pay federal…did send check for payment and it was cashed, so taxes were filed before April 15th.
Don’t owe taxes, don’t have any child support or student loans…my husbands SS# is in the 0 to 20 numbers and we should’ve had a direct deposit for our stimulus payment by friday May 2nd…still haven’t got it.
Checked the IRS website and there isn’t anything showing for information on our stimulus using my husbands SS# and exempts.
Anyone know why we didn’t get the direct deposit already…is it because we didn’t file until April 11th? Thanks for any answers

I just got off the phone with the IRS-after a 20 minute hold time-and a rude rep.- We also filed our taxes at H&R Block, had direct deposit and fees withheld from the return-she told me as long as it was dd into MY account and not the tax preparer’s account-meaning you probably got a check from them-then it WILL be dd into YOUR account! Someone mentioned that the wrong apt.# was on their return-I don’t see how that would matter if you had direct deposit-you become known by your account number then-it doesn’t need your address for anything! Just my 2 cents-hope it helps! Our last 2 digits are 68 so we are waiting too!

I as well used HR Block to file my taxes. I used there online service, and opted to have their fees taken out of my return. This created a different account number and routing number on my return for direct deposit (not mine.) So.. I have direct deposit, but, not to my account, I called HR Block many times, and many places (different states). They all have different answers to the same question, very frustrating to say the least. Some say you will receive it via direct deposit, and the others are telling me that I will receive a paper check. The paper check would make more since to me, yet I assume that the IRS will try and direct deposit the payment to the HR Block account, then get it rejected, and at that point mail me a check to my address. I wonder if anyone else has had this happen to them, and If they have recieved their check yet. I wonder if I will be pushed to “the back of the line,” and the check mailed to me as if I never had direct deposit, or if they will mail me a check as soon as they get the rejection from the HR Block bank. I also called that 866 number for status, and they tell me no info is avail. and the irs.gov web site link tells me the same. Has anyone else went through this????
