Q: I filed my W-2's on time via the U.S. postal service and stipulated I wanted the return directly deposited into my checking account but there is still no sign of it. I should have received the money by now. How can I inquiry about this?

A: Just to clarify terminology, you probably mean that you filed your "Form 1040" with the W2 and that you wanted the "refund" deposited directly. Go to http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96596,00. html and check the status online.
