Stimulus Checks

[BC38]

Whether or not a person qualifies is based upon their 2019 reported income so if you had a significant drop in 2020 income you could be outa luck for a check.

Close.
Whether you get one and how much is based on your 2019 tax return AGI.
If you haven't filed your 2019 taxes, then it is based on your 2018 return AGI.
If you made more than $75k filing singly or $150k filing jointly on your 2018 return, but made a lot less in 2019 you want to file your taxes ASAP to get a bigger benefit. If you made less than $75k singly, $150k jointly in 2018 then it makes no difference either way, you should get the full $1200 for single filers, $2400 for joint filers, and $500 per dependent child (if you have any)

Still waiting...

... but I've already spent it two weeks ago on a S&W 696 (no dash). Whenever it comes in, it's going back into savings to await the next "gotta have" toy!

For all those doubters and nay sayers:
I didn't receive my $1200 when they first started hitting banks about a week ago. So with not much hope in ever getting the Eagle to poop on me I signed up on Get my payment a week ago Thurs.. This morning with little hope I signed onto GMP and "great balls o fire" ... instead of the usual message of "we know you're there", I get "Money will be deposited in your acct. on APR 30th". I shall be truly happy if it actually shows up. Who knows what one can buy with 1200 smackaroonies. Maybe a new cane and a can of Top Coverage.

I got the response [ check will be mailed on 4/24 ] - it arrived on 4/22 - this was after I gave them my direct deposit info the week before -

Here is an update. Mine will be deposited in my account 4/30/2020 as well.

Now for some interesting stuff. I did not see the bank accounts or the paper checks, BUT, I have two neighbors, both retired on Social Security who received $2900.00 Direct Deposit (married with a dependant) and $1200.00 check (Single), and they both received an Additional Social Security direct deposit of $1200.00! They both got it a week after their normal Social Security deposit, i.e. 2d Wed pay and 3d Wed additional deposit.

Got stimulated this morning. Payday Friday. If'n I was still drinking, you'd need to send out a search party 2nd week of May. Couldn't begin to think about where to look though. Joe

Got a letter from the IRS/president today that I was getting $1200. Nice ,however I got that money on the 15th. Seems to be waste of taxpayers money to sent me notice two weeks after the fact.

...and now "Schmuck" (NYC lingo) Schumer is complaining that our President's name is on the checks, and future ones must remove it. I've never seen such division and would had thought that this health crisis would had unified us. "Never let a good crisis go to waste" is the mantra of many demented folks nowadays.
