Chris- Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Still nothing for me. I owed on my 2020 return but didn't pay right away, so I'm thinking maybe they are mailing me a check since my bank account information wouldn't have been on my 2020 return. Balls.

From what I understand, your tax filing has a lot to do with it. Â I, uh, *erhm* forgot to file my taxes last year (I didn't owe anything, so it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things), now my stimulus checks are held until I file for 2020. Even though they're based on 2019 taxes? I don't quite get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioandsonic Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Got mine this morning.  I can't actually log in to see it because my bank's online service isn't working right now, but I receive automatic daily balance report emails every morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I got my stimmy this morning.   $225.    I don't really need it, but that's a bad look to all the middle class suburbanites that got 10x that amount under Donald fucking Trump. I don't want to really reduce politics to "give more money to people than the previous president did" but for some people, this is going to be a slap in the face. And for others that benefit so much more under this bill than Trump's stimuli (ew) it'll be great... until it ends. Then it's "back to poverty to you dorks. Hope you enjoyed it!"  These small tastes of actual social governance are so much more sour when they're so incredibly impactful yet made so temporary.

I better try not to blow it all in one place.  On the last two I got $963 and $363 and I would have gotten $100 more the first time if I hadn't filed 2019 right before the checks went out.  And I don't think anyone benefited more from this one than the previous two? If you got the full amounts last time you got $1800 total. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Going by ($363.30/$600)*$1400, I would have gotten $847 this time before the last minute phaseout changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 I was reading a news article when the change was announced about people making in the $80k-$100k range who didn't lose income but had big costs related to COVID, got stuck supporting family members who did lose income, etc. There's definitely a bunch of people out there for whom this is a really material "fuck you" and not just bad optics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Mine cleared yesterday. I’ve been able to keep working like normal for the past year, so I didn’t really need this, but also I don’t make a lot of money, so it definitely helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69los Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I regret doing my taxes a week before this passed. I'm guessing that's the holdup since I still qualify. I don't need it but it would be nice to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whomp whomp  I got a paper thing in the mail from the IRS this week about the $363 from January saying I should contact them if I haven't received it seven days from the date on the letter, which is March 19, 2021. No idea why, got my hopes up for a moment doe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to know about filing an amended return WWW.CNBC.COM The $1.9 trillion stimulus package that Congress aims to send to President Biden this week may mean some people need to amend their tax returns.

Received just about $10k too.  I did our taxes a few weeks ago and between federal and state, withholding was about $1,800.  I know Ron Wyden (my senator) is working to get the IRS to automatically refund the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 We are in a moment in American history where two guys — Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — own more wealth than the bottom 40% of people in this country. That level of greed and inequality is not only immoral. It is unsustainable.— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) March 18, 2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The def star Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Haven't gotten my stimulus yet. I wonder if it's because I filed my 2020 taxes in February. I didn't have issues with the previous 2 being direct deposit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
