I am not disputing what you said but me and kids on H4 have ITIN's and our accountant has told us we will get the rebate and we have also had a brief letter from IRS addressed to both hubby and me stating we are eligible.

Just wondered where you got you info from - I dont want to be too disappointed

Most places will your meet and review your tax situation for free to better gauge the complexity of your return and come up a reasonable price.

We have a different accountant now who is much more on the ball. She sorted out the ITIN issue when she did our taxes for 2006. We had a huge refund and I assumed it was because we had paid too much tax etc , thanks to KPMG.

Can you use an ITIN instead of an SSN? Taxpayers with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of an SSN are not eligible to receive a stimulus payment. Both people listed on a "married filing jointly" return must have valid SSNs to qualify for the payment — if only one has a valid SSN, neither can receive the payment.
