A cubemate here has been on the phone for the last hour with the folks at TurboTax about the stimulus check.

The end result is this ...

If you filed with TurboTax (federal) and had your refund direct deposited, you may or may not get your stimulus right away. If you paid with a credit card, the direct depositing will have already been done. If you had them take the filing fee out of your refund, it's not considered direct depositing (it's actually a refund anticipation loan, though they don't tell you that!). You'll get a paper check mailed out with the rest of the country.

This cubemate is freaking out. She'd made arrangements to pay off a whole bunch of things based on the direct deposit, and now she finds the check won't be mailed out until the last week of June.

Glad I don't trust the IRS for facts and dates.

CNN, MSNBC, KETV, and others are reporting the death toll in Myanmar has reached 100,000 after a cyclone ravaged the area.

They aren't burying the dead, instead taking the bodies and dumping them (as the AP says "unceremoniously") into the river. There is a wall of bodies being washed away and no time to mourn the dead.

My heart goes out to those affected in the area.
