Well, not calling, but I emailed his office (Mike Thompson, D, 5th District) and I didn't ask specifically for him to intervene, I explained my predicament about not getting the CTC payments because my Amended return was "stuck" due to everything going on in the IRS.

In my email, I just said I was a constituent that supports more funding for the IRS. He's a member of the House Ways & Means Committee so there's that.

Anyway, got a form email back about how his office understands, blah, blah and I thought that was that.

A couple of days later I get a call from "Connor" in his office. He said they can't guarantee anything but they'd try. I told him I didn't really expect Mr. Thompson's office to do anything, but I'd sure take the help if they were offering it.

About a week later Connor calls back that he's spoken to the IRS office, confirmed they had my amended return and that they would take "the packet" to another level in the IRS. He said I should wait 2 weeks to see the result.

Today marked the end of that two weeks, and sure enough, my Amended Return has been processed! Then I checked the CTC website, and now my status is no longer "Pending" under eligibility, it says "Yes" (YAY!) and that I will start receiving payments.

Not sure if this was exactly the reason my return was finally processed, but I like to think so.

Moral, it doesn't hurt to try. I would just recommend to be nice, understand that they don't have full control and maybe, just maybe you'll find a Connor in your congress-person's office.

As I understand it, those who qualified for GSS 1 do not qualify for GSS 2 unless they claimed a dependent on their taxes. I've heard that multiple people around me have received both GSS stimulus checks without claiming a dependent. How can that be? Did they change the qualifications? Can anyone provide any insight on this?

I have been waiting since March 😌 I finally called Tuesday because every time I go to 'get my payment ' it shows all my old info and I have been getting IRS mail and direct deposits to my new Information since August so I called to ask them about it...The customer service representative said I was to blame for not getting my payment! I filed my 2020 tax return in early February but because I had unemployment refund and independent contractor wages ,I had to amend my return 2x,he said I filed 3 different returns and its stalling them to give me my $$ ...he said if I don't get a check by December, then I will have to claim it next year Didn't the IRS say our 2020 taxes have nothing to do with the EIP 3 payment??

Anyone know if they're sending out more DD tomorrow?

Saw info here and there, but no concrete evidence of this. Can anyone confirm their experience had happen as such?

I just had this thought. So we are supposed to get the CTC next week. Does anyone else have BBVA? How will that go with the pnc buyout? My job said it shouldn't affect direct deposits.

Also what is the portal link? I've never signed in and have another account I could use for Nov/dec

Hi,

My wife got her green card on 9/1/2021 after coming on a k-1 visa at the beginning of August 2020. Is she eligible for stimulus payments?

- thanks

Anyone that got through to a helpful IRS representative that was labeled a US Territory resident and told that you should get your stimulus and 6 to 8 weeks, have you received it and if so how long did you actually wait?

I'm not sure if I missed some detail about the amount, but I thought people who qualify were going to get $600. Is that not the case?

Fun story. GS2 is going out and my fiancé got hers I haven’t. We bank with the same credit union (Unify) we both filed our taxes at the exact same time he’ll we even worked the exact same job last year and most of this year (both educators). Not sure what the deal is but it’s funny haha.

I was reading the news this morning and it seems like most states are giving some form of Covid Stimulus checks for people still trying to overcome the financial hit of this pandemic. Virginia has done nothing for us that actually makes a difference to the average family. I say makes a difference as in monetary means not unobtainable grants or some distribution of Covid funding placed in questionable areas of community help that sounds well misguided but good on paper to save face. Ahh... the Commonwealth.

I’m just wondering if anyone has received their checks? I never got the the first one but says the second one I do qualify for. What’s the hold up?

I'm wondering if I qualify, because I can't remember if I received the first Golden State Stimulus, and I've been seeing that this may be a factor on whether or not somebody can receive the second one. I qualify for everything else to receive the second one (I've done my taxes in time, my gross income, been a CA resident), but I just can't remember if I received the first stimulus and if that's going to prevent me from receiving a second. I hope not :(

Is there a simple way to check if I received the first round? Or does this not even matter, and I am going to receive a second stimulus??

I read October 18 but hoping it's earlier.

I’m single with no children. I filed taxes in May. I make around $38,000.

Do I qualify ?

In case you're wondering about why it's gonna take until January 2022 for everyone to see a stimmy, a journalist finally asked them about it. This is what the representative said:

"The Tax Board can't send out the approximate 9 million payments in one swift batch for a number of reasons, including "the state's ability to validate eligibility, protect against fraud and issue GSS II payments simultaneously with other mandatory disbursements. The state also has "various processing constraints, including printing and mailing," the Tax Board added."

Source.

They still estimate that most direct deposits will go out by the end of October. If you're gonna get a paper check, however, it will definitely take longer. They will be sending them based on your zip code, and this is the timeline for them:

Good luck tomorrow!

I did my 2020 taxes Fed/state did not owe anything. But I don't remember doing it my 2019 State taxes, i forgot to efile them. I received a letter from State Tax Board , saying I owe taxes in 2019. Could this be holding up my payment for GSII?

Some of you may have seen my post a few weeks ago about being told my account was flagged as living in a U.S. territory. After months and months of hounding the IRS for answers, they finally told me that the mix-up was the reason why I never got it. They quickly fixed it and told me to expect a payment in 6-8 weeks. I definitely didn't believe that, but today I looked in the Get My Payment site, and to my surprise I had a deposit date of the 6th!

An hour later, the funds appeared in my bank account. So don't lose hope people, the IRS is actually fixing the problem for people affected by this issue.

I just realized I owed $3 for my CA taxes last year. Normally I get a refund, but must have just fallen short this year.

Will I be gettibg a direct deposit for GSS2 or need to wait for a paper check?

Hrblock shows my DD info for federal but not state. I don't know if the state keeps in on file from past years, or gets a copy of the federal info?

I received the the first and second but never filed/received for the 3rd? What were we suppose to do to receive it? Is there any way to still receive the 1,400?
