I know a few people who haven't filed yet, but already got their stimulus payments. I'm eligible, but nothing yet because I didn't do direct deposit through the IRS last year. Supposedly starting today the website is gonna let people who didn't use direct deposit enter their bank account info so they don't have to wait on a paper check through the mail. Let me/us know if you are able to enter your deposit info. Quote

The problem is, that tool is how you give the IRS your direct deposit info. I never get a refund, so they don't have mine. But they should have my bank info. from payments I've made. I get the message as well when checking on the status of my check. They have my direct deposit stuff all set up, I just got my tax refund deposited like last week. I'm not sure how any of this works or if what I'm saying makes sense as a response to your post Quote

I just have to wait because I got booted last night for 24 hours by logging in too many times. A lot of people are struggling to get any info through the IRS site. Quote

Did you use HR Block or Turbo Tax? Lots of issues with them according to the Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/16/coronavirus-cares-stimulus-check/ Quote

Lanny Posted April 17, 2020 Report Posted April 17, 2020 2 hours ago, spndnchz said: I always owe and don’t use direct deposit too. If you don’t do direct deposit for a refund your check won’t get mailed until the end of the month. And if you check the irs website you need to punch in exactly the address you used, capitals, hyphen, etc to see if you have anything coming. and before I get judged, I give back to my community anonymously, kinda like here lol This is my issue, I've owed small amounts each of the last two years, so we will be waiting for a paper check.

Radar Posted April 17, 2020 Report Posted April 17, 2020 Haven't got it. When I do it's going to charity. One of the arguments about "stimulus money" is that it has little economic stimulus as most bank it or pay debts with it. 1 Quote

But it will buy some votes. I think it's nice of those of you who are donating. Edited April 17, 2020 by Eleven Quote

I'm not planning to use it, but if I have to it will be to pay rent, which basically does nothing for the economy. Quote

#freejame Posted April 17, 2020 Report Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I was really poor in 2018 and only moderately poor in 2019 and I got my check. I also file my taxes the first chance I can get. I don’t need the money per se but it’s nice always nice to have. Things are finally starting to break for me financially and I might clear 3k in bonuses and commission for the month and make 5k in a month for the first time ever. There’s a sig rifle I’ve had my eye on for a very, very long time that’s really calling my name but I’m not spending any of my stimulus until I see how the end of this month goes. Combined with a management position at work I just applied for, I’m really looking forward to 2021 and much more financial comfort. Edited April 17, 2020 by #freejame 1 1 Quote

Before the change to the tax law, back when I could itemize my hefty expenses, I could alter my withholdings to match my OT hours so that at the end of the year, Uncle Sam and I would come out Even Stephen. I would sometimes file a dozen W-4s a year. First year post change I owed a ton. I tweaked this year and over payed by a few hundo. Underlying truth though, my total tax bill is more than pre change. I’m convinced that standard deduction going up(discouraging itemizing) and the reduction in payroll withholding was a carnie’s trick to hide the fact that your middle class tax obligation increased. The regular disclaimer about my uneducated opinions apply. Quote

I will get it but I don't need it (and for other reasons, I frankly don't want it).. I would have liked the ability to decline it and put it back in the pool to increase the amount for those that really need it. Now I have to get it, cash it, donate it, and hope it gets to the people that need it most. Would have rather not have to be the middle man. Quote
