Many of you want your money. I am here to help you out.
This morning while co-anchoring NBC Action News Today, I read a story concerning when you can expect to get your rebate money. Dozens of emails followed, all asking for the info.
Here it is, but there are several factors in getting your money.
First, you must file taxes in 2007. The deadline was April 15th. If you filed an extension or were late in filing, your check will be delayed.
Second, when your check reaches your bank account depends on whether your 2007 tax return was set up as a direct deposit payment, or if you filed the traditional method, via mail. Mailed in filing will mean your check will be coming later. E-filers will get the stimulus checks about two weeks earlier.
Third, you will get your money according to the last two digits of your Social Security number
