IRS to Start Sending Rebates on May 2
March 29, 2008 · Print This Article
Okay… you know the IRS will start sending out rebate checks in May. But when will you get YOUR check?
The
first rebate checks will be mailed out starting on May 2, and will be
based on the final two digits of your Social Security number, as well
as when you file and whether you elected to receive any refund by
direct deposit or snail mail.
The IRS says most people will get
their checks by July 11, but if you want to know exactly when to expect
your rebate, here are the details:
If you file your 2007 tax
return by April 15, and request direct deposit for your refund, then
you can expect your rebate according to the following schedule…
SSNs ending in 00-20, deposited by May 2
SSNs ending in 21-85, deposited by May 9
SSNs ending in 76-99, deposited by May 16
Notice that taxpayers who requested direct deposit on their 2007 tax return will receive their rebate by direct deposit as well.
If
you file your 2007 tax return by April 15, and request a paper check
for your refund, or if you owe a balance due on your tax return, then
you can expect your rebate according to the following schedule…
SSNs ending in 00-09, mailed by May 16
SSNs ending in 10-18, mailed by May 23
SSNs ending in 19-25, mailed by May 30
SSNs ending in 26-38, mailed by June 6
SSNs ending in 39-51, mailed by June 13
SSNs ending in 52-63, mailed by June 20
SSNs ending in 64-75, mailed by June 27
SSNs ending in 76-87, mailed by July 4
SSNs ending in 88-89, mailed by July 11
If
you file jointly with your spouse, then use the Social Security number
of the first spouse listed on the tax return to determine when you will
receive your rebate.
One last note: you must file by April 15 to
receive your rebate according to the above schedule. You must file by
October 15 to receive the rebate this year, but if you wait to file,
you could wait as long as December to receive your rebate.

Yeah! My husband’s SS# is lower than mine!
So instead of waiting until June 20th, we’ll get ours around May 30th!
Thanks Kristine for the great resource! I know I’ve been wondering when that handy little check would arrive!
