Also if you have your tax return handy you can use the  on-line calculator (http://www.irs.gov/app/espc/) to get an estimate of your check.

Thanks for posting this, Jim!  :thx:  At least, mine falls in top half of the list, so I may still have time to buy a couple of things from my "Wish List" for my yard and myself.    :yay_jump:

Well MY numbers are the first category but I'm pretty sure (okay, somewhat sure) that Adam's are the last.  Shucks.  But still, we're going to put almost all of it to the girl's' (can you use two apostrophe's to show both possession and duality?) savings accounts--so it's not like I'm going to see it anyway.  Thanks for the article and calculator Jim!

Sarah-loo, I'm afraid that Jim would do something horrible to me if I hijacked this topic by posting a reply to your question here, so look for the answer in Back in the Classroom... (Stuff we forgot after we grew up!) (http://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/index.php/topic,1980.new.html#new)

Hi there, Jim! :wavey: Thanx for posting this topic! :ThumbUp:  Keith has been working such crazy hours this week, that I haven't had the chance to ask him yet, if he knows about it.

I was wrong Adam is in the middle bracket.  Woohoo for that.  He was really surprised to see that the IRS is direct depositing the money though.  The other "special" refunds that we've gotten have always been by check despite the fact that we have always had our regular returns/payment direct deposited.

Next week the direct deposits start.  From what I have read they will be transmitted on Fridays.  Dianna and I are in the second group so May 9th is when we will be checking.

Wrennie - about the only good news I could think of!  :thspeechless-vi:
