Get your IRS $600 fast
The quickest way to get your $600 "economic stimulus" check from the U.S. government is to sign up for direct deposit. Electronic payments will be sent before any paper checks are mailed. All payments will be sent according to the last two digits of your social security number.
For direct deposit: if the last two digits of your social are 00 through 20, payment will be transmitted May 2. If the digits are 21 through 75, the money will be deposited May 9. If they 76 through 99, payday is May 16.
Paper checks will be mailed May 16 through July 11. Check exact mailing dates for paper checks. To get the $600 via direct deposit choose direct deposit when you file your 2007 tax returns. Only folks who filed a 2007 tax return are eligible to get the $600. To determine if you are eligible and how much you will get (kids are worth up to $300 each) click here.
