First round of stimulus checks deposited today

[AndreaDM]

Got mine this morning, on the first day of my furlough lol. Getting DD17 the new Animal Crossing game because she is bored out of her mind at home, saving the rest.

Does this answer your question, maybe?

Sorry, don't trust the government that much. As I said, I'll hang on to it (except for emergencies) until 2020 taxes are done.

Yes, it's a fictional show, but I still picture something like this happening (jump to 2:14 in the video):

yes I got that for my college son who I knew wasn’t eligible but I wanted to check anyway.

Awesome, ours is now available, which is good. Target + student loans + CC balances all came out today. I need to replace the savings I took out for my cat's surgery. I'm grateful for the money.

 

[Owlpost23]

Got ours today,and we're putting in the Alley account.Never know what the future holds....

 

[firefly_ris]

Ours is pending this morning and our NYS refund is finally pending too.

Mine is working full time. Not a student. Was part time student in 2018 but not since then. And lives on his own, not on our taxes. Same with my nephew and he got same message.

DS-23 did not get his today. Wonder why? We do his taxes for him and he's had direct deposit the past few years.

Daughter didn’t get hers either.

 

[georgina]

Anyone not get it & use the check my status & it say “status unavailable”? We should be eligible, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have our direct deposit info as we usually have to pay each year.

Just checked. It said we are eligible but they say they don't have our direct deposit info. I had to enter the numbers from our 2019 tax return (AGI and refund or owed amount) and got a message I didn't match their records. I think it was because I did not take the refund but applied the amount to our 2020 estimated taxes. I should have put in zero for the refunded amount (instead of the amount of the overpayment) maybe? I have to wait until tomorrow to try again.

Wonder why. Both my DS and nephew have been working full time since 2018. And not on our taxes. DS, currently, works at hotel which is shut down. Signed a new lease in Feb (before this all hit) and was set to move in this month to new place. Tried to get out of lease due to his hotel being shut down. But apartment said 'no can do' you must honor lease and cost 2 months rent to get out of lease. He really really needs this stimulus check.

 

[a1tinkfans]

Ds received his, direct deposit BOA, based off ‘18 taxes filed as none Filed this year.
I’m thankful.. one less (full) mos of rent I’ll be paying.

 

[mi*vida*loca]

I went back in after updating my bank info and it has all of my info and says it will update again with my deposit date.

 

[lovin'fl]

Why is the wording, of who is NOT eligible, this?

You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child, student or older dependent who can be claimed on a parent’s return.

As opposed to 'you WERE claimed as dependent on parent's taxes'?

Update lol husband called and was able to get the automated and it is Pending in the account for $2,400.

I also don't believe this is going to be free -- of course at the end, it isn't free but I don't think it will be free on an individual level. Fortunately, we don't need it. My wife has talked about donating it but I think, at the very least, they will change it to be taxable income for 2020. I told my wife to treat it like a 30% loan so if she wants to give it away, just give it away thinking that we might end up giving away an additional 30% come February.

There is a a lot of time between right now and the end of December and don't forget it will be a lame duck session this year so...

This is what my daughter is panicked about. She wasn’t claimed by us and doesn’t live here since November of last year. She works part time because she’s in college but lost her job because of all this. Would the irs even know she “could have“ been claimed by us?
