As many readers know, we started listing TurboTax last year and currently promote their TurboTax Federal Free Edition. I just received some details from a contact at TurboTax who shared the following information about the government tax rebates (economic stimulus payments) that will be sent out starting in May.
According to this TurboTax information, the IRS estimates that more than 130 million Americans will benefit from an income tax rebate this year. There are five things you should know, however, about these government tax rebates and how they work. And don’t forget that you must file your Federal Tax Return to get your rebate.

Here is some additional information from the Internal Revenue Service that could help you determine whether you will file electronically or otherwise. Those opting for direct deposit will be among the first to receive their payments — starting on May 2. Paper checks will not be mailed until May 16 through July 11. The rebates will be processed in order by the last two Social Security Number digits so lower numbers (00 through 20 for direct deposit and 00 through 09 for checks) will receive payments first. For more information visit this IRS payment schedule.
On a personal note, I expect some incredible sales and coupon codes for bigger ticket items to be available starting May 16 and lasting through July! It looks to be an exciting time for buyers.

mine rebaTE was suppose to come in May and July and still no rebate.If you owe them money they want you to pay and they should have to pay me interest on taking longer.I filed my return and paid what I owed and everytime I call i get the hogwash of no record or it is coming soon.It is strange that peole mailed theirs way after me and my last four digits was one of the first one and still no check.
