From what I understand, the "direct deposit" may well be snail mail.
There's some fine print in there somewhere.

I received a paper check i the mail on May 10th, and spent $300 on
groceries the next day.

Maybe they just don't like you.

I know why you missed it - because there is no mention of that
anywhere.

Did you have someone else do your taxes, like H&R Block or another agency?
Did they take their fees out of your refund? If you did, and they did, it
was a 3rd party direct deposit and you will get your refund by mail.
well, at least that is what my taxprep DH said.
I'm not counting on anything until the check is in my hand or the numbers
are in my bank account.

If you got your regular tax refund via direct deposit, your stimulus check
will also come via direct deposit. No fine print.
Did you file singly or with someone else that has a SS# with higher digits?
<sigh> The day we got our payment, our dishwasher died and one of the cats
got sick.

For the last 6 years I've only done direct deposits for my refunds. My
Stimulus refund is said to be direct deposited on the 16th. I'll let you
know.

No, I prepared my own taxes using TaxAct who filed my return electronically
with a separate pe-paid fee. I've been using TaxAct for years with no
problem, and always paid the fees separately.

Thanks, Dave, I would appreciate it. I, too, have only done direct
