Stimulus Payment HEADACHE!!!!!!!

[lydia33]

Wow is me! I am about to go crazy when all my clients call and say things like......I got my rebate back today but the little lady did not get hers. I tell them that all I know is what was on the IRS web site. Well Jane at the bank said that her and her husband got their's this week. Cousin Billy Bob said he did not get his this week and his SS number is 00. (Billy Bob did not get direct deposit) I explained it best I could during tax season......Good mind to put that message I talked about the other day on my answering machine. "If you are calling about that DARN tax stimulus payment please refer to the IRS.gov web site for any information."

Just tell them that the early rebates are being sent out to people the IRS is planning to audit later this year.

Yeah, and the LUCKY one will get theirs later.!

That would hush them for about a minute. I'll try that on my next one. :D

And also tell them; "To avoid audit, do NOT cash the check. If you got direct deposit, you have no recourse, my fees to assist with audit are..."

I like John's response! If that doesn't shut em up, nothing will.

In the "for what it's worth department"....I think I found a pattern of the "minimum rebate payments" not being made as stated on IRS's chart of direct deposit dates. Makes sense when you think about it...those who actually paid taxes should get their payment first.
