Since the start of May-- the IRS has sent out nearly 30 million economic stimulus payments totaling more than $27 billion dollars.
These checks have been issued to the vast majority of taxpayers directly to their accounts. We spoke a few folks on the street today, who say they've received their money and plan to spend it wisely.
While they had no problems with receiving their tax rebate money, about 1500 payments went into the wrong bank accounts.
The IRS says they discovered the problem and will send out paper checks in July to those taxpayers.
