Think your check's coming direct deposit? Maybe not.

So, based on my SSN, our economic stimulus payment should be coming by May 9th via direct deposit. At least, that's what the IRS's payment schedule page says. However, after entering in our information on their "Where's My Stimulus Payment?" form, there's no record for us yet. Odd; we should be getting the money by Friday, right?

Wrong. See, we did get our refund via direct deposit, but we also used TurboTax Online and paid for our filing out of our refund. According to TurboTax, this means your this means you get a paper check thanks to the extra temporary bank account that got created on your behalf.

So, goodbye, May 9th. Hello, June 13th. No, I'm not terribly pleased about this, but at least we're not depending on the money. It's earmarked for paying back debt.

I'm not really upset about it. A bit annoyed, but not upset. I already mentioned that we're not dependent on it.

That's a good position to be in ^^
