Responding to IRS E-Mails on the Rebate
If you get an e-mail from the IRS asking for information so they could directly deposit your rebate into my bank account.
Will that speed things up?
No, but it could cost you.
This is a phishing scam; the IRS does not send e-mails requesting personal or banking information. This has become so prevalent, however, that the agency has set up a special mailbox and asks taxpayers to forward suspicious e-mails to phishing@irs.gov.
PS.
Filing an Extension Affects Timing of the Rebate
We filed for a filing extension. Will we still get a rebate check?
A rebate delayed is not a rebate denied, but the IRS says it will take at least six weeks from the time you actually file your 2007 return to get your rebate check. So if you file at the extension deadline of October 15, you may not get your check until early December.
