Re: stimulus checks

We got the deposit into our account yesterday but I thought it would be more money than we ended up getting, since we are married and file jointly, we don't make near the top end of the salary range, and have 2 kids (i thought you get 500 per kid?). I mean at least its something which helps though.

So it did not match up with what your adjusted gross income is?

Did you just get the $2400? Yes, you should also get $500 per kid...I think a lot of people are missing the money for children. Hopefully you will eventually get it, but you may have to inquire about it.

It depends on the age of the kids. It only goes to age 16. After that if the child has a job and NOT your dependent they would get $1,200.

Ok, that makes sense then.

Nothing yet here

Literally. NOTHING



Us too. Not under my SS or DH's. Does yours just say "Payment status not available"? We should be eligible and they should have our direct deposit info from prior years.

I am getting anxious. There is literally no one to ask. What are we supposed to do?

Re: stimulus checks

I am on a tax forum and there are IRS agents on the forum that have said the money is being distributed in batches, if you make over $150,000 he expectation is that you can wait for your money more so than someone who makes less than that, if you filed your 2019 taxes in March 2020 they may have not been reviewed. So for those people the early bird did not catch the proverbial worm. They would have used your 2018 tax return, but since the system knows you filed, it needs to be reviewed. There is no mechanism to say oh this person is unemployed now, and needs the money today. So you will either wait, as they are entering more returns starting tonight through Saturday, get a paper check in August, or be able to get the money in 2021 on your 2020 tax return. I know this is not ideal or what you might need or want to hear, but this is what it is.

I received mine today



A paper check or direct deposit?



Direct deposit



Were you checking the stimulus online tool? What had it been saying?



I had been checking daily and it said they could not determine my eligibility for payment. When I checked again on Sunday it told me I would get the deposit on 4/22 and the bank account last 4 digits were correct. I got it Wednesday.

Thank you for this. I had given up, figuring we would just get a paper check. After I saw your post, I went back and finally was able to put in the bank info. It didn't say when we will receive it but I will check back in a few days.

Thanks for this. Just checked and same for me. But it’s asking for a lot more then bank info. Now calling accountant. Because we file jointly but it’s not allowing us to write that anywhere while filling this out. Soooo now sure what to do here. Just have it filled out by one of us? Or wtf

I hate this. Hate it

Ok. Once we did DHs and then went to mine, it said mine was done. Meaning it knew we file jointly
I wish there was a button to choose joint so you don’t wonder wtf is going on

Thanks again for updating. Now we wait

Still no UI or PUA though

It’s so frustrating. I am hearing horror stories of people not getting their unemployment $$. It was very easy for DH he took only 10 minutes or so but then each week we have to go on and certify. I am not sure why it is so easy for some but difficult for othersChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
