Vent Session - I HATE the IRS

Okay, so I'm going to join the thousands of Americans that are complaining that they haven't yet received their stimulus checks...We were supposed to get our direct deposit back on May 2nd and we STILL haven't received it. I called 2 weeks ago to check on the status and the lady said they're asking people to wait until may 30th...well, I waited and called this morning. The man I talked to this morning told me they show they received my check and return, but he can't find the return in the system!!! So, they were quite fast to deposit my check within 5 days of when I mailed it but they proceeded to somehow then lose my return and now I have to mail in another copy. So, by the time you allow 6-8 weeks for the new return to be processed, we're looking at MAYBE August before we get out money. I realize it's extra "free" money, but the fact that ours was screwed up really annoys me!

Oh yeah and the man assured me I would not have to pay a penalty for a late tax return - gee, thanks...considering I did mail it back in early March!!

That's all, just needed to vent...hope you all are spending your stimulus money wisely, while we wait! :)

Is there somewhere I need to go to register for the stimulus $$$?
