Question about the stimulus check being mailed

savetheanimals — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 20:20:24 GMT

Has anyone received their stimulus check in the mail yet? When I check the status on the IRS site, it says payment is scheduled to be mailed on January 6, 2021. Does that even mean it was mailed? How long does it take to receive it? If I remember correctly last time we got it a few days after it was mailed. Nothing yet.

Ours was direct deposited on the 4th. Wouldn't trust the mails.

I received my check yesterday 1/11--have no idea when it was mailed.

Hope you receive yours soon.

Mine said sent the 6th still waiting. same thing happened the first time we're at the back of the bus as usual.

Guess we better hope the mails aren't like they was 2-3 weeks ago or by the time we get it be to old to spend it.

somebody mailed me something from Ind on Dec. 7th I got it Jan 8th

maybe they're being sent 'book rate' and by mail innovations. ROFL

Why they just couldn't put mine in our direct deposit is beyond me now

I have to watch for it for going on a week.

They don't give us a choice, unfortunately.

Haven't received mine either yet.

Got check by mail last time.

E-filed taxes though...but didn't receive it via direct deposit, nonetheless, so I guess I'm now in the category of either a "check is on the way" or unfortunately, a debit card.

Hope I get a check like before. Got it right away the first time.

My cousin, and her two daughters, who live two towns from me have all received theirs.

Question...how/where does everyone know/see when it was sent to them?

You go to IRS.gov and look under Get My Payment. It will give you the status when you put your information into the system.

Mine was mailed on 1/6 according to their website. I have not received mine. It stated it could take 14 days from mailing.

I am not happy with the IRS mailing my check. I did not have a choice tho. My last stimulus was received via direct deposit. My last 2 refunds and 1 payment were all processed electronically thru my checking account. So they no longer have this information? Mail delivery is unreliable in my neighborhood. Often I get someone else's mail and someone else gets mine. The neighbors on one side are sketchy & I hope they don't get my check in their mail box. The IRS website tells me it was scheduled to be sent out on Jan. 6. I am still waiting, twisting in the wind. Wish me luck!

Happy day! Lady Luck brought me my EIP debit card in yesterday's (Jan. 15th) mail so I can settle down now.

I received my check yesterday and deposited it via app today. Got an email it is credited to my account and ready to go.

@elated Thank you! I'll have to check it out.

DH and I thought we'd get a partial stimulus ( that's what we got last time) and were surprised our son got his first day but after a week nothing. Told DH we should check what our taxable income was in 2019. We checked and were just over threshold for getting na na (we sold a rental last year). We'll pay our taxes asap this year so ( hopefully) we don't miss out on next round. Thankfully we don't need it to pay bills and yes, I'd spend it to help economy.

I didn't see anything about a 2 week waiting time.

@patbz Selling rental property isn't earned income, but capital gains, that is, if there was a profit. Isn't the stimulus based on earned income or is it adjusted gross?

I wonder how they work it's....by state , last name ??? Maybe there is no rhyme or reason 🤔 Still haven't received ours yet and from what I read the 15th is the cut of date .
