IRS Clarifies Tax Rebate Delivery Schedule

The IRS today issued a clarification stating that its tax rebate delivery schedule applied only to people who filed a 2007 tax return "early enough" to have their returns processed April 15.

"In general," stated the IRS, "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."

The IRS has provided a web site, where people can check the status of their tax rebate and full and growing list of answers to Frequently Asked Rebate Questions.
