still haven't got my stimulus money ??

[Lisa]

My DH did his tax through H&R block last year, who took their fee out of his payment and paid the tax refund into our bank account, so we presumed that the stimulus payment would be going in there too. Wrong!
Dh called up today and apparently they have sent a cheque to our old address... so they cancelled that cheque and are making up another which should come to us in the next 2 weeks.

Soooooo... if you haven't got it yet, I would suggest either calling your tax agent or the ATO directly to find out what's going on

The payments are still being made up until May 16.

Everyone I know here that are entitled to it have received, except dh and I!! I know it's on the way, I'll just have to keep waiting a little longer.

If you're not sure if you're entitled to it, just do the online calculator on the ATO website. I can only imagine how busy the ATO are with so many phone calls ATM.

Clare, I did my tax return using e-tax and I got the tax bonus just yesterday directly into my bank account!! Yayy!! Thanks Kevin!

thanks girls, they did pay it directly into my bank account last year, so hopefully they will just do the same with the stimulus. I dont want to ring before the 16th because I dont want to get in trouble

in trouble for what? theres no harm in ringing, just means you will probably be waiting on hold for ages just to be told what weve said

the only reason I am concerned about the money is because I cant remember who the online people were, I know it wasn't etax, but I just cant remember the name of the company, and now I cant find them on a google search. I wonder if I ring the ATO if they can tell me who they will pay it too, and if its too late to change my address so it comes directly to me

When I spoke with the chick from ATO today, she said that a lot of tax agents are rejecting the payments so then a cheque gets forwarded to your addy you have with the ATO, so I'm thinking it's gotta be a massive process to get everyone's payment right.

clare - I did ours through e-tax last year cause our accountant was too busy , did you nominate a bank account or get a cheque in the post? Cause either way if your addy is still the same you will get the money eventually.
