Feels weird to have a president that doesn't spend 30 extra minutes complaining about everyone who did him wrong. "This is a great bill, and the Republicans know it. And the Republicans will never admit it. But they know it's great, and they'll be sorry for not supporting it. Maybe something will happen to them that makes them sorry. I dunno. Some people are saying it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently if you go below the limit this year you'll get the money when you file for this year in 2022 so I guess it's a good excuse to up my retirement contribution to try to decrease my AGI. Under the original eligibility rules I was going to open a Roth and stick this stimulus check in it as the initial funding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I have no idea what I’m going to do with mine. I think I might just leave it in my checking account (my personal finance system is slightly odd and not particularly efficient for a variety of reasons), but I might splurge on something. I dunno.

Guest Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 My income tripled 2019 to 2020, and is on pace to do the same thing this year. I shouldn’t get a dime but because they use 2019 returns, I barely fall under the threshold for the full amount.

Chairslinger Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I have a question for people who know the details in the bill. I saw something about how this bill is increasing the size of the Earned Income Tax Credit from something like 500 to 1500. Is that right? But we won't see that until next year's filing? And if this is true, is this bill running that through the next 10 years, or is it a one time thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
