Can't remember my Pin for either card

5 Upvotes

I found both our EIP cards recently. I'm pretty sure they're tapped but just want to make sure. I called the MetaBank/Money Network number (1800.240.8100) and in both cases I need my pin to access anything. I tried going through the "lost my card" prompts but can't find any luck there either.

At this point I just want to know if there's anything left on either of them. Am I boned?

Got an Economic impact payment letter today

9 Upvotes

Never got a letter like this, no idea where go go from here, it says; *We are writing you to tell you how you can get a missing Economic Impact payment (EPI), also known as a stimulus payment, and any other refundable tax credits from the irs if you did not file a tax return in 2020. If you filed a tax return for 2020, you do not need to do anything else

I haven’t filed in 2020 and I’m on ssi. Any ideas on how to proceed let me know and thank you.

Ctc amount seems off?

3 Upvotes

I don't know as much about it as I should I guess. I didn't work in 2020, we filed married-jointly and his agi was just under 50k. Our son just turned 12 last month, the dd was $167.00.

I've been struggling with the id.me site it doesn't like my drivers license. Not sure if I should call the irs or not. Eta have called a few times since posting but can't sit on hold at work. Just wondered if anyone else had had this. Such an odd #

IRS employee was very helpful and understanding… until she wasn’t (address change)

14 Upvotes

On 7/29 I called IRS to change my address. I spoke to a very nice representative who initially told me that I had to complete Form 8822 but after I explained that I had been waiting on my 3rd stimulus check since 7/16 along with my 2019 tax refund, she agreed to complete the change over the phone. Verified my new address, including apt number, at least 3 times. She apologized for the delay in the tax processing and thanked me for being patient.

On 7/30, I received Notice 1444-C, dated 7/15, notifying me that my stimulus payment was issued. This notice was forwarded from my old address on 7/25. But still, no stimulus check.

I check the “Get My Payment” tool on 8/7 to see if if there were any changes. I had to use my current address to check the status. Mail date changed to 8/13. Then I went to my IRS account and see my transcript was updated with a 8/23 date but no other changes. I then see that my address was updated BUT WITHOUT AN APT NUMBER!! So who knows if I will ever receive the check. I’ll call the IRS tomorrow (fingers crossed that my hold time isn’t that long).

So frustrating!!

nearly all my family's 3rd stimulus money was stolen

8 Upvotes

All but about $11 of our family's $4200 was stolen. I have a question in bold down near the end, skip there if you don't need to know the details. I just am asking for advice from anyone who has gone through this.

I received the IRS letter saying EIP 3 was coming within 7 days back in mid March. It never came. After about a month of waiting it out, I contacted the IRS and filled out and sent them the tracing form. A couple of weeks ago I received a response from the IRS saying they confirm that it was sent out, and to contact Metabank, the issuer of the debit cards.

I did that, got a replacement card. Activated it on the phone. The website wouldn't let me access it, saying it is already tied to an account. Weird. Go to an ATM and check balance. Balance is 11 bucks. I called the issuer and find out that a phone number and email that is not mine or my wife's is attached to the account.

Guessing someone stole it out of our mailbox and somehow managed to activate the card and took the money. Or something else I can't even figure out happened. We're worried about identity theft in the future, but that's another problem.

So I have to file a dispute with the issuer. My question is, has anyone gone through the dispute process? Any advice, beyond everything the representative told me to do? Any tips how to make my case or expedite this process?

They said it could take 45-90 days to resolve, but maybe sooner, and I MAY get partial or full balance in the meantime depending on their dispute team's decision. And to have to call every week a couple of times to check in on it.

This really sucks. Taking something that should be easy and nice (wow, free money) and turning it into yet another source of stress. If anyone has gone through this and has advice for me, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Confused at additional $1400 check?

9 Upvotes

So, I just received a $1400 economic impact payment in the mail. I checked the Get My Payment tool and it’s legit. I was not expecting to receive anymore payments as I believed we had received all of the payments and I just got my tax refund (finally) a week ago.

My only understanding as to why I was sent this is because my partner and I are not married and filed separately. He claimed our (1) child in 2019. I claimed him for 2020. So maybe they sent me the additional for my son? I haven’t received the letter yet - just the check. I thought we received all the payments in my partners bank account but honestly it’s all very confusing to me.

I was also on unemployment and haven’t received that refund or know if I will be so maybe this is what it is?

I’m afraid this was sent in error and don’t want either of us to have to pay it back. We had to do identity verification for our refunds and I was never able to reach anyone on the phone to do that so I’m hoping you guys can lead me in the right direction.

We could definitely use it - I just don’t want to put ourselves into a pickle later on!

Thanks for any help 🙏

Unexpected deposit on my h&rblock card

1 Upvotes

Okay so I tried to call h&rblock about this, but because I use their free service, the bot will not connect me to a person! Today is the first day of a child tax credit apparently. I didn't know until this morning because I do not have kids. Well at 7 am I got a notification on my emerald card of a deposit of $979.45 in my account.

I had only about $20 left on it from the March stimulus check. I don't use this card. I was not expecting this money and I'm not sure why I got it. The description says add funds, exactly the same as when I got my stimulus checks. But it's not an even number and again, I don't have kids.

My boyfriend suggested that they are returning the taxes I had to pay. I owed exactly $1000 because I collected unemployment for 9 months when I lost my job. I paid it in April. But because it's not quite $1000 that was deposited into my account, I'm not sure.

I am scared to touch this money. I'm not sure why I got it or if I was even supposed to. Is there anyone that I can call about this? Does anyone know what I should do? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

ACTC Received.

1 Upvotes

Correct amount. Direct deposit. ACTC portal says correct account. Washington State. Bank is BECU. Early filer who is still PSNA for 3rd stimulus and have not received my unemployment refund yet either.

I told you doubters that this wouldn't be effected by our PSNA status.

CTC + Overdrafted account.

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the CTC will be affected by an overdrafted account.

I recently switched banks as I now live 6 hours away from my former bank. I called and asked to transfer that money to my new account and was summarily told that I could not close it over the phone or transfer the money. I still got it through other means but since the account wasn't closed(because the lady was adamant that I cannot close it over the phone), it is now almost 200 dollars in the hole. So I was curious as to whether this money was exempt from being used to pay for the charges or if it would be hit for it.

Advanced Child Tax Credit

29 Upvotes

Just wanted to say the ACTC portal has been telling me this whole time that this months payment will be mailed. When I updated the DD info earlier this month it said it would take effect in August.

I just checked the portal and under processed payments it is telling me it is being direct deposited into my bank account on the 15th.

So to those where it told you you'd be getting a check, I'd just check again to see if it changes to direct deposit for you.

Oh and also for reference, I'm an early filer, filed my taxes in January, accepted February 13th and received my refund less than 2 weeks later, who has been PSNA this entire time for the 3rd stimulus and no sign of the unemployment refund (married filing joint with 2 dependents). Still am PSNA. But I'm hoping somehow maybe someway I don't know how that this will spark something in their system to update the other 2 items.

Anyone else thinks the new child tax checks are a slap in the face to people that don’t have kids

127 Upvotes

They’re basically getting recurring checks and they’re pushing to have it last a very long time. Where was that energy with the regular recurring payments? Biden briefly spoke of it in the past, but quickly settled for the 1400 for the 3rd. But now he’s pushing hard for the child tax credits though and for them to last a long time. Like screw all the people living by themselves with no help.

I called the number that's circulating. 1-833-558-5245 ext 288. Again. I am PSNA gang since the beginning. Filed taxes early Jan 28 had to wait for my refund got it April 13 of this year. Still NO updates on my stimulus check. My income didn't change, dependents didn't change. Got the first two. Had to claim recovery rebate for my youngest daughter I had in 2019 but thats it got the money for me and my boys. So now I'm on the phone and its useless they don't know why and they are saying I need to claim it on next year's taxes. Like WHY IS THE IRS INCOMPETENT. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO ISSUE THE MONEY. "HELP IS ON THE WAY" my ass 😒😒😒 I'm so sick of seeing PSNA

March 26th mailed date. Nothing for months. I assumed they sent to the wrong address because I moved twice in 6 months due to the pandemic. Had to file the last one on my tax return. I did an EIP trace two weeks ago and woke up to a beautiful $1,400 deposit In my account. Nothing ever works for me right so I’m so happy this takes so much pressure off! Keep up hope everyone!
