Did tons of research on the first one. The IRS doesn’t even follow their own rules. When the first one came out, I went to the website and waited a few weeks for eligibility. When it told me I was eligible I immediately signed up. Under their rules ( from their website ) if I signed up by noon Tuesday, I would have had a projected date by Saturday. If it was past Tuesday then it would the next Saturday after that. I called them late June and they blew off the question about that. The phone call was useless. I finally got a projected date at the end of July, several months after I was supposed to. BTW several posters here reported that the projected date can often be wrong.
Since our second one ended up being a check (since they messed up/changed our bank info??), I am expecting this one to also be a check, maybe by the end of April?
