Soon, I hope

We got a mailing from the IRS yesterday, labeled as "STIMULUS PAYMENT", which sent me running back to the house and squealing for Dan to come sign the check so I could take it to the bank. However, it was just a clever ruse by the IRS, probably by some twit in a cubicle that thought it would be absolutely hilarious to screw with people.

That mailing that had "STIMULUS PAYMENT" written on the back of it? It was a notice, letting us know that we could expect our check by 05/16/08 -- this Friday.

But... on the back of the notice, beneath blurbs about how our payment was calculated, general info on qualifying children, blah di blah di blah, was this:

Under Review
Your stimulus payment has been delayed for review. If you do not receive your stimulus payment or a notice explaining the delay within 60 days, call us at 1-866-234-2942.

I've looked around and asked around online, and the general consensus seems to be Who Knows? It could be held for review, or the review message could be generalized. Or it could have been held for review, but is coming by the 16th, the date stated on the front.

I could nag Dan to call the IRS (his social security number is listed first on our tax returns, so I'm assuming the IRS will only talk to him), but I know the hold time would probably be insane right now...
