fredwiggy Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Filed through OLT (online taxes) free filing program. Waiting to see if everything is okay. It gets sent out February 12th. Hopefully this year no mistakes are made in the system and I receive both year's stimulus for myself and daughter. Link to comment

Not to worry too much about that Jan 6th date. Most of us here in the USA that also were slated to have it mailed on Jan 6th are only getting it now. (last week of Jan) Jan 6th I think was actually the beginning of processing Secondly this time........no check was mailed Instead they sent a credit card that can be used of course as a credit card but also as a debit card at a ATM or over the counter withdrawals at the bank (in USA I know it worked not sure about Thailand) I think they may be intending to reload these in the future as they said to keep the empty card. Not sure how this would work for those in Thailand because when we lived in Chiang Mai ...three times we tried to have a credit card mailed to us & each time it was stolen/went missing...Until we sent it registered express mail then we got it Edited January 31, 2021 by meechai Link to comment

I was able to call the 800# to verify my identity and register the card. Immediately I was able to use the card's website to transfer the card balance to my US bank via ACH. Funds were shown the next day as a pending deposit to my checking account. I don't know why the Feds didn't just do an ACH deposit directly to my checking account. I have sent the IRS payments from that account so they know the details already. 1 Link to comment

Damrongsak Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Ours was supposed to be processed on the 6th. We received it about the 26th Jan. Slow mail delivery in the U.S. has been a problem during the holiday season. I mailed a couple letters Dec. 12th. One took 30 days. The other took 40 days to go less than 200 km. I sent a small booklet to Finland and it arrived before the two letters. Edited January 31, 2021 by Damrongsak Link to comment
frantick Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I just filed using Taxact. $5.27 because I had to file Minnesota (for the last time thank God). Federal was free. $1800 of my refund was the stimulus I didn't receive previously due to making too much last year. Link to comment

Yeah that is the thing...If you can get the card it is quite easy to transfer to any account you have etc. Luckily you had yours delivered to US address As for the direct deposit....I know many here wonder the same...some get it some don't & no rhyme or reason to it. I mean I get SS direct deposited each month so my info is there...But I guess different branches of the govt etc etc In any case glad you got your card ;) Link to comment

DFPhuket Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I received my $600 in Phuket today and used my banking app to deposit it into my US bank account.The first check took two months to arrive and this one "only" 5 weeks. It was mailed on January 6th. Link to comment
dekestone Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Got mine today as well ($600). This one, like the previous one, was sent to my Bangkok apt. address. Don't know why they don't d.d. it into my Stateside bank as they did that with a previous tax refund, so they should have the info. Edited February 17, 2021 by dekestone Link to comment
Alex baz Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Got my check yesterday, kasikornbank would not deposit it in my account, krungthaibank got a six month holding time period before accepting to deposit it. Any Bank here accepts stimulus checks? Link to comment
