Stimulus interruptus
I’ve found something else I can blame on President Bush. First Hurricane Katrina, then my bad back, now this:
Dear Valued Customer:

Recently, you may have received a letter from the IRS advising you when to expect your Economic Stimulus Payment (rebate). That IRS letter may have inadvertently left off some important information. Taxpayers who chose to have their tax preparation fees deducted from their federal tax refund will receive their tax rebate in the mail, not via direct deposit.
Our records show that you chose this payment option in TurboTax. As a result, the IRS has determined that you will receive your tax rebate in the mail. This may result in you receiving your rebate on a date later than expected.
Emphasis mine. According to that e-mail from some TurboTax schmendrick, I’m not going to get my stupid check until sometime next month. I’ll bet a Coke that someone tries to file a class-action lawsuit over this.
