Economic Stimulus Rebate Calculator revisited

Awhile back I posted a quick tax rebate calculator. If you're looking for something a bit more complex, click here for the official IRS calculator. (Why am I not surprised that it's more complicated? :-) ) And if you're wondering when your rebate might show up, here's a quick guide...

The IRS is basing the order of the rebates upon the last two digits of individuals' SSN. (Anyone know how it will work for couples who file jointly?) To figure out when you'll get you rebate, find the numbers below that correspond with the last two digits of your SSN:

Paid 2007 taxes via direct deposit:

00-20—May 2
21-75—May 9
76-99—May 16

Paid 2007 taxes via check, rebate check to be mailed by:

00-09—May 16
10-18—May 23
19-25—May 30
26-38—June 6
39-51—June 13
52-63—June 20
64-75—June 27
76-87—July 4
88-99—July 11

Thanks to Thrifty Florida Mama for her heads up the calculator.
