We filed our 2007 taxes over 2 months ago - no Federal refund yet (Got the State one).

I've heard they are being delayed due to the other stimulous refunds some are getting for $600 (is it?)

Anyways, just wondering if anyone has gotten the 2007 Federal filed tax return refunds yet? If so, how long between filing and getting the refund did it take?

We did it with HnR Block and we got it on the HnR Block card before we left.

but I was wondering who has received the Supplement Refund yet?

they didn't do a very good job in explaining it because they said if you had your refund deposited then you will get it that way. Well that is only with a direct deposit to a Bank. So it is a waiting deal....:confused:

I thought that since my refund was direct deposited my stimulus check would be also. I later found out that becasue I used a 3rd part agency (Tax ACT) that my direct deposit on refund was actually from them so my stimulus check would be snail mailed. I got it on Saturday.

I e-filed in January and got both of my refunds within a week. I just got my stimulus payment direct deposited into my account two days ago. I was wondering what was taking so darn long so I called the IRS and they said you can check the status online at IRS.gov, but some people's info won't even be online until July.

Share the rebate with charity

The economic stimulus rebates are still weeks away, but the pollsters are telling us that people already are deciding how to spend that money.

There is a lot of advice out there. Spend it; save it; pay down debt. Here's another idea: Donate it.

The idea behind the rebates was to get money swirling around the country. The feds are hoping that the infusion of unexpected cash into most households will lubricate the economy by sending people out shopping again -- for the good of the nation.

The financial advisers also have advice, encouraging people to save the money for a rainy day or use the money to pay down debt.

That's all fine, but the Valley's nonprofits are conducting a worthwhile campaign to say that giving some of it to them makes good economic sense, too. Not only does the gift stimulate the local economy, there's a tax deduction. That's a nice two-fer. If that organization happens to keep kids out of gangs, or alleviate another of our pressing community needs, there's a social profit to factor in as well.

Nonprofits are one of the Valley's growth industries, just like agriculture and construction, and they are included as one of the clusters in the Regional Jobs Initiative. Between 2000 and 2005, for example, the cultural arts industry grew 24%. The expansion of the Metropolitan Museum is going to pump $25 million into the economy and provide many jobs for construction workers. This is not a tin-cup industry.

Every time you donate money so a church can grow, add a new staff member, help a struggling family buy a new washing machine, that's stimulating the economy, too. When the youth organizations can spend money to give training to upcoming new leaders or saving children from gang involvement, that's a good investment. That's called social profit. Experts refer to it as supporting our community assets.

Here are some of the ideas offered by the nonprofits:

# Donate all or part of your tax rebate to a nonprofit organization.

# Give a gift in honor or memory of a loved one.

# Become a member.

# Increase your membership level.

# Sponsor an event or exhibit.

# Purchase memberships for family and friends.

# Buy tickets to performances, fundraising and cultural events.

There is an ancient tradition known as tithing: giving a percentage of our income for good works. That's always a good idea.

And remember that donations to non-profits multiply their way through the local economy, and that non-profits are more likely than most private-sector organizations to spend money locally rather than send it off to faraway pockets. That's the sort of investment that pays real dividends to all of us.

If you had it on a H&R card before you left the office, it was a loan issued against you anticipated refund. Because you did it that way, the stimulus check will be (from what I read and understand ) snail mailed to you.

From About.com

Stimulus Payments are being issued on a schedule according to the last 2 digits of the primary social security number (SSN) shown on your 2007 tax return.

If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 Refund or you received a refund anticipation loan, you will be receiving a check instead of a direct deposit. Please see the Paper Check section of the <a href="/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html">Payment Schedule</a>.

You should check the <a href="/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html">Payment Schedule</a> prior to using this application since your payment information will not be available on this tool until the time that your payment is scheduled.

<li>Number of Exemptions shown on your 2007 tax return</li>

</ul>

Okay now, you've checked the schedule and you're ready to find out <a href="https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRServlet?app=IRACTC&selectLanguage=en">Where's My Stimulus Payment?</a>
