Title: IRS Really screwed this up.
Post by: ironhorsedriver on January 06, 2021, 02:36:16 pm
If you haven't received your latest stimulus check, it may not be coming. The IRS is sending checks to wrong or cancelled accounts. If you used an online service for your taxes, they are receiving your stimulus in accounts only in accounts used once then closed. If you check your money on IRS web site, and it says not enough information available, you will probably have to claim a credit on your taxes. This according to NBC.
I feel for those that really need this money, and now are screwed out of it.

Pretty much impossible to complete my thoughts on this matter without an overflow of expletives. 

I didn't  qualify for a stimulus check this time or last anyway, but for the folks who need it?

Luckily my son got his and my husband and I are giving ours to him also to help pay his bills and buy groceries...

My other son didn't get his and went to that IRS website...he doesn't understand why he didn't get one as he got the first, and hasn't changed bank accounts...nothing has changed...

I was told that I'm not eligible.

I went to the IRS site to check on my stimulus status and kept getting an access denied error, then I tried it again on Firefox and got the same error. After checking I found a possible fix on the Firefox forum which was to press the continue button without entering info first, but after (if that makes sense) and was then given the status and mailing date of my check. My mother received hers direct deposit the day after her social security payment.

No. Apparently I was claimed as a dependent when I was out of work last year, which means I get $0.

Same as my daughter in college; she was/is our dependent but too old to allow credit to us.
