Update on Stimulus Delivery Method

[Phil Marti]

There's been a recent discussion about whether someone who e-filed and had
the 2007 balance due paid through direct debit would get electronic deposit
or paper check. Someone finally pointed me to this FAQ, dated 3/3/08:

Q. I chose direct debit to pay my tax bill. Will my stimulus payment be
direct deposited to the same account?
A. No, the account information used for an incoming direct debit payment to
the IRS cannot be used as the account information for the direct deposit of
the stimulus payment. People who choose direct debit to pay a balance due
will receive their stimulus payments by paper check through the mail.

Thanks for this info, Phil! I'd thought I'd read all the FAQs, but
clearly I missed this one.
