I come on here to read sometimes, haven’t posted before but didn’t want anyone to miss out on what is due to them. Sounds like some people in the US haven’t gotten their stimulus payment and are unsure why.
Some possible reasons as I understand them:
- If you file taxes as a single person and made over $75k in 2019, this makes you not eligible for the stimulus payment.
- Anyone who made below that amount is eligible unless they are a dependent on someone else’s tax return; if this is the case, they/whoever claims them as a dependent might still be eligible for a smaller amount of stimulus money, but they will want to check with the IRS or find more info about dependents online as I don’t know the details enough to speak on this.
- If you didn’t file your 2019 taxes until recently, or if you still haven’t filed your 2019 taxes and they know you need to file (W-2 statements under your name by your job showing income within the threshold), your payment would be held up.
- If you didn’t need to file a tax return for 2019 because you earned no income or earned less than $12,200, you need to use this page to get your payment:
https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here But don’t delay if you haven’t done so yet: as you can see on the page, if you don’t do it soon, you won’t be able to get the money.
Don’t know whether I’ll end up posting again but hope this helps someone.
Take care everybody
