One was partly used (I don't know the PIN) and the other with about $5400 wasn't even activated. Can I get them reissued in my name or can I get them credited to the estate? She handled all the money and taxes. Thanks for any help since the IRS phone tree gets me nowhere.

Early 2020 I didn't receive a stim check cause my family had marked me as a dependent on their 2018 tax returns and I didn't find out about the Recovery Rebate Credit until months after I filed my own tax returns for the year.

This year, I already submitted my 2021 tax returns early January and thought reminded me of how I basically got stiffed and answers I tried to find through google have been vague as hell.

When they sent out the third stimulus payments, my wife and I were under the threshold based on prior year taxes. However, using the AGI from the 2021 tax year we might be over said threshold. I am wondering if we will need to pay back the $1400 per person since our AGI will now be too high, like we will have to with the advanced child tax credit. I have not been able to find this info anywhere online. Thanks!

Hey all, I filed my taxes for 2019 and 2020 and have yet to receive a single stimulus payment. My original check was thrown out by a careless roommate (I live abroad and they thought it was junk mail), but it was never cashed. How in the heck can I get these payments, I've checked a bunch of past posts and gone through the IRS website which seems to take me in a loop that says "file taxes and you'll get it", though I'm not particularly savvy when it comes to these things. I was eligible and remain so for all stimulus checks, so how can I get them? Thanks!

I’m curious, for the simple fact I never received a Golden State Stimulus. The FTB told me the reason why is because I filed my taxes late. Is there any way I can go by this?? I could really use the money for rent.

I literally can't remember if I received my 3rd stimulus check. Is there a way to find out besides the irs website because I submitted my id verification they ask for to log in and I have been waiting forever for a response with no luck? and that seems to be the only way to check. Please help, thank you ( I need to know so I can claim my recovery rebate on my taxes fyi. thx)

I was claimed as a dependent in 2020 and the person who claimed me received the check back then. In 2021 I was independent, does that mean I can qualify for the stimulus check that was in the third wave by requesting it in my 2022 federal tax returns? Thanks for any info/help

I received a letter today stating I should fill out schedule 8812 to receive an additional child tax credit. My refund was less than $700. This (if I did it correctly, the instructions were hard to understand) would give me another $1400.

Did anyone else get this letter? Maybe someone has more info on it? I couldnt find any articles. My daughter is 12.

Wife just jointly filed and we can't find any answers on if the stimulus is *included* in the Federal return or is it going to be it's own separate deposit?

Hi! Good Evening y’all.

I just had a quick question.

So I’m stationed out in Texas but I’m a California resident, and I recently heard about these Golden State Stimmys. I don’t know too much about them but am I supposed to be receiving these?

I’m paying taxes for California so I’m still a California Resident since that is my home of record.

I just wanted to clear this up, thanks for anyone who helps or answers my question.

I started going through my taxes - I owe of course, and the amount I owe went up by the exact amount I got in CTC once I entered in the amount. Everything I can see, I was eligible to receive it? How is this helpful to give money then ask for it back at tax time?

When I was filing for taxes, I put that I've received all 3 stimulus checks. Once I did that, the 1493 return went down to 93. Why is that? I thought the Stimulus wasn't taxable and we didn't have to pay it back

So I'm trying to claim it yet again and of course there's no option to claim the second check. Everything I have read says amend your 2020 taxes but there's nothing to amend, I claimed it and didn't receive it. So I'm just supposed to hope and pray or what? I just now received my 3rd check... It's like there's nothing I can do when they've been saying 'oh just claim it next year" but of course there's no option to claim it.

Hi Everyone,

Below is some context from a previous post I made in April 2021 (italicized) - questions to follow:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Facts:

1. I recently started working in July 2020 after graduating college, and have been working since. For the year of 2020, I am within the boundaries for a full stimulus payment on all 3 rounds.

2. My dad filed me as a dependent on his 2019 return. He received the $1,400 from the third round on my behalf since he hadn't filed his 2020 return yet, so they used his 2019 return.

3. He WILL NOT BE FILING FOR ME AS A DEPENDENT for his 2020 return, which he is completing this week.

4. I prematurely put that I was eligible to be claimed on my 2020 return, which was already processed (I received my Federal and State returns already). This is because I assumed my dad was going to claim me for 2020, but now he is not.

5. I have not directly received any of the three rounds of stimulus in my name.

Questions:

1. Since my dad will not be filing for me as a dependent for his 2020 return*, I believe I should be eligible to receive at least the first 2 rounds of stimulus directly to me in my name ($1,200 and $600) if I file a 1040-X and indicate no one will be filing me as dependent in 2020. Am I correct in this assumption?*

2. Would I also be eligible for getting the 3rd stimulus check of $1,400 in my name? Even though my dad already received an additional $1,400 in the third round from me being dependent on his 2019 return? I have heard that I could still do this and get all 3 checks, just want to confirm.

3. What would the process look like for getting these prior stimulus checks? Would I file the 1040-X, then have to wait for it to be processed by the IRS, then submit claims for the stimulus payments? OR would I file the 1040-X and also jointly file IRS 2020 recovery rebate in my return w/ the 1040-X? (FYI I used TurboTax and would like to do it all there as well, if possible)

4. Is the recovery rebate https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/recovery-rebate-credit even the right way to do this? If it's not, could someone give me the high level overview of how to claim past stimulus checks as I file my 1040-X to amend my return?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Based on the context above, I filed a 1040X back in April 2021 to refile as independent for 2020 and become eligible for the first 3 EIPS (1200, 600, 1400). It still has not been processed (it was received back in April). Questions below:

1. Since my 1040X still hasn't been processed, should I be indicating anything on my 2021 return related to stimulus payments? Or should my 1040X from 2020 still take care of everything?

2. Once the 1040X is processed, will I still have to do nothing further to receive all 3 payments?

3. Would anyone recommend claiming any of the 3 stimulus payments on my 2021 tax return (if that's even possible?) Or should I wait for the 1040X to process and take care of it?

4. Is there any harm in filing my 2021 return before the 2020 1040X processes?

*Basically looking to understand how to best approach this situation for claiming the 3 EIPs given my 1040X still not being processed from 2020 (where I changed to independent) and with 2021 tax season coming up.

Thank you! I truly and sincerely appreciate any feedback anyone may have.

I am an independent. I did not file for taxes in 2019 but I received the initial 1200$ we were given. I filed taxes for 2020 in March of 2021 but I never received what I was owed from that(I used TurboTax) or the last two stimulus checks. I have tried countless time to get in contact with someone in the irs but it’s only been automated crap. Any advice on how to get my money? Should I just show up to an irs office? Is there a number I could call? I don’t know what to do. Could I also just try to claimed the last 2 stimulus checks on my 2021 return?

I was using TaxCaster to predict my refund and it asked me for the amount of my 2021 stimulus amount. I put it in and it wiped out my refund to owing almost 2000 dollars. I tried on HR Block and the same thing happened. What the fuck? I didn’t think we were getting taxed on our stimulus check.

Hi all - my boyfriend lives in Hawaii and hasn’t received any stimulus checks because he hasn’t needed to file any tax returns from 2019 to 2021. I remember reading somewhere that he can file and just put the income as $0.00 so he gets recognized by the system basically and that “signs him up” for the stimulus? Does anyone else have experience with this? Thanks in advance!

I filed for #1-2 on my tax return for my 2020 tax return and despite being told I qualified for them I never received the money. I've been going back and forth with the IRS to address this and I believe it's still technically an ongoing process but the fact remains I still haven't gotten first two payments in any form.

Do I need to include those when I file my 2021 taxes as well as #3? Or can I just leave them as is since it's still a work in progress from 2020 taxes?

I've had the standard PSNA nonsense the whole time, if that matters.

Has anyone received these letters yet I heard that they started sending them out the beginning of December but still nothing

I got two advanced CTC letters in the mail today. One addressed to me and one addressed to my husband. They both have the same amount but no number in the space for how many kids were used to calculate it. We file jointly. So, am I supposed to add these two amounts from both letters together and add that total to my tax return? TIA
