How much of a helicopter can you now afford?

Remote control helicopters are (relatively) cheap, and apparently quite popular with geeks.

Did you do the direct deposit?

Mine's not supposed to be mailed until the 30th.

Yeah, direct deposit, which is why I'm getting it now and not in 4-8 weeks.

I didn't even know there was a direct deposit option. Have to keep that in mind next year.

Do they just use the same method as your regular refund/payment? Because I don't remember being given an option for the helicopter monies.

Yeah. There's a page at the IRS website with the schedule. It's based on the last two digits of your SSN.
