OT - IRS and the Economic Stimulation Boggle
 

Supposedly the IRS has offered $300 to everybody who files a return this
year to "stimulate the economy".

I'm not involved in this one, but my girlfriend is.

She received a letter from IRS stating that her check would arrive
July 11. But it hasn't. Their web site just says "delayed".
There seems to be quite a few other people in the same boat.

Thought I'd ask you guys about it and see who has and who hasn't.

Mine arrived two weeks ago.
Some computer parts and three tanks of gas later, it's all gone.

Mom, who is living on SS and a tiny pension, didn't file. Actually she hasn't made enough
to file for years. I filed for her. If we were not spending her funds for materials to
re-side her house, she would have just let the money go.

The sad thing, other than this being a bribe, is I had to spend an hour figuring out how
to file her tax return. I hate to think how some 'dog food' eating senior is going to do
this.

Oh, we are using domesticly produced cedar siding. The money is going back into the
economy. Part of my bribe and my brothers bribe is going into this also.

You know, I don't doubt it's a bribe, but for what?

What are they trying to get for the money?

If it's a bribe to file then I'm going to guess that the IRS
database is corrupted and they are trying to rebuild it.

Or ???

Got mine a month ago and put it into the bank.

A friend's was "delayed".

There's many reasons for "delays": Unpaid Child Support, Outstanding
Student Loans, etc.

I filed on time but haven't seen any "stimulus money" yet.

I filed early (April 13th ;) via TurboTax and indicated that the money
should go to next year's taxes. It arrived as a check at my door just
after the 4th of July weekend. It stimulated me to pay a couple bills.

Yep, we got our check several weeks ago. Since we figure that money was
stolen out of our savings (in the form of reduced spending power caused by
deficit-fueled inflation) we put it right back where it belongs...in our
savings.

No. They did want some backup for my 1040, which I sent immediately.
That may be an excuse for delay -- though they sure as hell didn't
lose any time cashing the check I submitted with my 1040 -- which was
somewhat larger than their "stimulus" check they'll send if and when
they get goddamned good and ready -- or not.

Well it is to protect incubents. One of the few things that Congress can be bipartism
over.

Campaign Finance 'reform' was another example.
