Economic Impact Payment for those who haven't filed tax returns


Someone raised this issue a while back, but I could not locate the thread.

See the link below for information on how to claim an Economic Impact Payment if you have not filed tax returns in recent years.

It may have behooved you to wait depending on your circumstances.

I think the day laborers and waiters and so on should get the most help right now
I'm in a large Union and have a contract for the time being...other workers are really badly hurting and need the help way more than I do

I was referring to the convoluted way of how much you would receive depending on whether you filed in 2018 vs 2019. Your (in the collective) circumstances may have changed from 2018 - 2019. The IRS is going by your latest tax return. If you had more deductions in 2018, as an example:

“In 2018, A and B have a 16-year old daughter and income of $120,000. In 2019, they have the same income, and their daughter has turned 17.

Based on A and B’s 2018 return, they are due a payment of $2,900 ($2,400 + $500). Based on their 2019 returns, however, the payment would drop to $2,400, because their daughter has turned 17. As a result, A and B should delay filing their 2019 return until they receive their payment.”

Everyone should read the above articles I have posted.. My grandson was under the mistaken idea our relief sums would be deducted from our 2020 tax return...not so!

Thanks for posting this.. I filled it out, left the banking information blank, submitted, got a message

"Watch your e-mail for two messages from Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info:"



Send me a check! I gave them my address...

You would get the funds much faster if you provide the bank info. It may take quite a while for them to send checks.

I don't have a bank account, either. I got an e-mail with errors that don't make sense. I'm sure the phone numbers are either down, or a robot. Either way, I'm sure many people aren't going to get checks, so I'm not going to waste my time with something that doesn't make sense, and I'm sure the government is going to withhold many checks, anyway.

they won't. it'll just take a while to process from the influx.

You don’t have a bank account?

“I'm sure many people aren't going to get checks, so I'm not going to waste my time with something that doesn't make sense, and I'm sure the government is going to withhold many checks, anyway.”

Your sour attitude and your assumption is incorrect. Work a little harder in order to help yourself. It isn’t the IRS’s job to find you and your information.

A memo from lawmakers earlier in the month said that paper checks wouldn’t start being mailed until May. And because the paper checks would be issued at a rate of about 5 million a week, the process could take through August.

The Treasury, however, said that paper checks payments would begin later in April but did not confirm a date or how long it would take to complete those distributions.

All payments will be made based on income, with lower-income individuals receiving payment first.

WHY SO LONG?

It’s a tough wait for those who are struggling financially.

However, the Treasury and the IRS need to sort through a tremendous amount of data and create a complex distribution method plan quite quickly, said Mark Mazur, director of the nonprofit Tax Policy Center. The IRS’ outdated technology could also slow things down.

“For the vast majority of people this will work, it may not be as fast as they may like but it will work.” Mazur said.

I suggest taking the time to investigate the errors. If you are a lawful resident of the United States, you are entitled to receive this money.

COULD BE AS LATE AS JUNE.

reply

For physical checks, yes. Direct deposit payments will not take nearly as long.

Its so very eerily calculated.
