This IS a legit link, I checked it out.
You can also go to http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=177937,00.html, scroll down to the header "Economic Stimulus Payment Calculator" and choose "Where's My Stimulus Payment?"
You need to have either your SSN or the SSN of the first person who's on the return, and the number of exceptions you claimed, which can be found on line 6d of your return.
Ours was reduced, WTF. Fantastic. (ETA: Apparently has something to do with our pre-tax amounts, buh something. Calling IRS.)
ETA: Called IRS. On hold to "Nutcracker Suite." Just now realizing the irony of that selection.
Testy person on the other end. Believes explaining means saying the same thing over and over as I try desperately to tease nuance from being told the same thing over and over.
It was a matter of asking the right question, which was, "WHAT tax credits I took affected the payment?"
Our Stimulus was reduced due to my business performing poorly and the write-offs I took.
I really hate this week. Hard.
