ya, sounds like he used a computer tax program to do your taxes. there is an option with those types of programs to either pay your fees up front, or have them taken out of your return. if you paid them up front your return went directly from the IRS to your bank acount... but if you had the fees deducted from your return, than a temporary account was set up at a different bank... the IRS transfered your return to that new temporary account, your fees were deducted from said account, and then that bank wired the money to your bank. since that temporary account no longer exists, you will get your stimulouse payment by paper check.

i was in the same boat as you, got my return direct deposited, but my stimulouse came as a paper check b/c i used turbo tax or some shit, and they set up an account at another bank that deducted the fees then transfered the remainder to my account. my social ends in 09 and i got my check last thursday.

The IRS made a big mistake with bank account #s and their direct deposit system. It was all over the news. People were getting other people's refunds, people were getting the wrong amount, and some people weren't getting anything at all. Probably, to fix the mistakes the IRS is sending out paper checks.

there are alot of people that are angry b/c they just assumed b/c thier return was DD that thier stimulouse payment would be too, but thats not the case. its all pretty simple if you know exactly how you filed.

I'm sure you know a lot of people, but the fact of the matter is that, it happened. Sometimes the govt makes mistakes.
