Title: Stimulating Confusion

Even as millions of people are anxiously checking their mailboxes and bank accounts for their stimulus payments, others have received more than their fair share.

One taxpayer, a technical writer in Chicago who preferred not to give her name, said she'd already deposited her $600 stimulus payment when a second check arrived in the mail, also marked "stimulus payment" and also for $600.

The IRS said in May that about 1,500 payments were sent to the wrong accounts. In an unscientific survey of a handful of tax preparers nationwide, MarketWatch found just one who said a client had received two payments by mistake.

What a bonus! Until you have to pay it back!

Did you spend your stimulus payment? Retailers claims sales have been great!

Actually came at a good time as our above ground pool wasn't going to last another season.

2 stimulus checks later we have a new pool.
