The Evil Genius Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) To me the bottom line is...if you (the IRS) have the routing info for people who paid (electronically), send the checks. It's no different that having the routing info for people who got a refund last year. Edited April 22, 2020 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernatural24 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-04-20/u-s-citizens-coronavirus-stimulus-checks-spouses-immigrants Quote She works as a film producer and her small business has ground to a halt, forcing her and her husband to eat red beans and rice most nights, scramble to find small business loans and apply for medical assistance for their two children. So the 44-year-old woman from the Midwest, who asked that her name not be used to protect her privacy, has had to bite her tongue as friends have celebrated the arrival of economic stimulus checks. As a U.S. citizen whose children are also U.S. citizens, she is excluded from the government’s $2-trillion coronavirus financial relief package because she files her taxes jointly with her husband, a Mexican citizen from Guadalajara. “It’s the biggest slap in face that the government left us out,” she said. “It’s already such a stressful time. This just increases the stigma and feeling of shame. It feels like a very big betrayal.” More than 1 million U.S. citizens, in states as far afield as California and Pennsylvania, have been blocked from receiving stimulus checks because they are married to immigrants who don’t have Social Security numbers. Some are frontline workers employed in hospitals, police departments and public transit. Others have been laid off or are working fewer hours as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It asked for my AGI & my bank account info. I mistyped my AGI & was prompted to re-enter because the figures didn't match. I reentered the info and the response was - Ok, thanks. Makes no sense. Nothing changed from my 2018 return. Why did it take 2+ weeks to get this prompt to appear? 😠 And now that I've done this step, what other hoops do I need to jump through? I hate these people. 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
