Has anyone else not been stimulated yet??
We got one of our payments today - so not sure if we aren't eligible for the other one, or they just haven't issued it yet.
I think they are being paid out up until the 16th May
Nope, neither of us have it yet... I was wondering though, I haven't changed our address but we always get our tax money put into our bank account. Maybe I should call them :rolleyes:
Dh usually gets his in account too but he got a cheque..
If u earnt between 15,000 & 80,000 it will get there eventually, u still have till 16th may
Aaah thanks coco, must call them today and change it :rolleyes:
Neither I or DH have got ours too. I have changed addressed and a little worried thats why I haven't got mine as most people in my town have. I normally get my tax in my account not by cheque so I was hoping this would be the same and address wouldnt be a problem.
we haven't got ours either, but in my head i've already spent it!!! :P
I was going to post about this today too, my DF is still waiting for his...
I was wondering if we'd ever get ours, but we got it this morning!
If they have your bank details then it will go into your account and then you get a letter the following day or two to say that you have been stimulated and by how much, etc. If you got an accountant to do your tax, the cheque will get sent to them and then they have to forward it to you so it may take an extra few days. I know heaps of people who still ahvent got theirs. I have no idea how they are distributing it as my family have all got theirs at different time, my neighbours as well so I dont think it is going on last names or postcodes.
*sighs with massive releif - cause I've already spent it lol* just called to update my addy and she said it was just going into my bank account right this minute. How's that for service then...:dance:
ring them. thats what we did. they told us if we were or not.
Ours only showed up today. We thought they'd forgotten us too :lol:
heres the number - 1300 686 636.
wat info do u need to tell them over the phone?? jus so i can get some stuff ready b4 i call...
and on the tax website i couldnt find anywhere that said 11-80,000?? i thought it was all tax payers blah blah..
we havent recieved ours but kno many ppl that have!
you will need to tell them 3 things from the following - bank account details, address, tax file number, sequence number, amount of last tax return, date of birth :doh: that's all I can think of atm.
I just posted about this today aswell. But i just looked in the mail and it was there, thankgod! I thought they had forgotten about us.
olis mrs: its between 11k and 80k, because u needed to have a 'tax liability',...in laymans terms meaning you paid tax last yr, bt didnt get it all back as a return, anyone who earnt under 11k got all thier tax back as a tax return....including my DP who is spewing cause he made $34 under the 11k.!!
they are doing payouts until 16 may, if you got ur tax return last yr into ur bank account the payout should go into there, if not (like me i had an ABN and paid tax instead of a return) youll get a cheque.
hang in there, if u r elegible they wont miss u!
Dp had to tell them his TFN, the refund he got back last year and another ID. They told him he needed 3 things of I.D. They then told him yes he is getting it and to ring the people he usually gets his tax done through (a local company here) and he did and they told him that his was getting proccessed on the 28th April. It showed up on the 29th.
We're still waiting. Don't know anyone personally who has it yet.
And it's up to $100k. The amount is just less once you go over $80k and then again over $90k.
i used the online calculator on the ATO website and it says I'm getting it and that DF won't! I'm so confused!
I think I'll just wait and see if I get it or not!
I was going to post about this too!!! We still haven't got anything either... Hope it comes soon though!
i asked DP again and he said when he rang that number all he needed was his TFN and to know the exact amount he got back last year (as I.D).
did anyone do their tax last year through an online tax service? I did mine through e-tax (I think) so now I dont know if it will come directly to me or if it will go through them first. Neither me or DP have got ours yet, but he only did his 07/08 return about a month ago, so not expecting him to be getting it yet.
I have a bad feeling we will be one of the last people and then for some reason they wont be giving anymore :lol:
My DP hasnt got his yet either :(
and Mr. Rudd isnt stimulating me and I voted for him!
clare - if u can contact e-tax, u need to ask them, they will know. If not u can still ring that number and they will let u know. More than likley ur DP will get his in his tax return this year.
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.
I just got mine on Friday - so the wheels are still turning, just sloooowly!
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.
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 :rolleyes:, 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.
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
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
Ours arrived in the mail today
clare im pretty sure its too late to update your address but no harm in ringing them
im pretty sure theres a seperate phone line set up for stimulus enquiries, check the ato website
Clare,
DH hadn't changed his address for the payment, so our payment was sent to our old address. The ATO cancelled the original cheque and have made up a new one to post out to us.
Obviously it isn't too late to change your address now, but it will probably mean that like us, you'll still have to wait a few more weeks... the ATO told my DH around 2 weeks to make up the new cheque and send it out.
HTH
well I am not going to worry until after the 16th anyway, I haven't even received a letter from the ATO to say that have sent it out.
Thanks for the advice though everyone, much appreciated
