Stimulus check question.

[greatauntoftriplets]

I can't find anything on this when I Google, so decided to ask here.

My stimulus check totaled a mere $644.80 and I have no clue why. I am not on SSDI, just regular SS and Medicare. I file taxes and had to pay last year. This year I got a refund My wonderful tax preparer filed my taxes online on April 15. The stimulus check went into my checking account on April 30.

Does anyone have any idea why I didn't get the entire $1,200? Could it be Spanky's revenge for all the nasty things I regularly call him?

Thanks for any help.

1. Don't know. I just received mine.

It was $619.50. I did receive a tax refund. I do not receive SS (I am on a pension under CSRS). I do receive Medicare. Horrible that the moronic monster’s name is on the check.

6. That's terrible!

I plan to return it to the White House as so many people have done. Haven't quite decided on the exact message yet, but I do plan to call him a cheapskate and ask where the rest of the $1,200 is.

11. Don't retirm it to the White House. Use it to donate to Biden. to other candidates

to needy organization, starting with Feeding America.

13. Oh, not the money.

I'm just returning the phony baloney letter.

[marble falls]

14. Absolutely. I sent mine to the White House with a message supporting the post office ...

written with a Sharpie.

2. Is it possible

that they deducted what you owed last year? Have you tried contacting the IRS? Yeah, I know, that's almost impossible. Check with your tax preparer and see what they say, or if they can help. Good luck!

4. I don't owe them anything, paid what I owed in full more than a year ago.

I'll get in touch with my tax preparer. She doesn't like Spanky either. Thanks.

3. If your income is above a certain amount

you dont get the whole $1200.

5. Is that the $99,000?

My income was significantly less than that.

10. I think it's $75,000 for a single,

and $150,000 for a couple. After that you only get a part. But you should look it up with google because I’m not sure about the phase-out part, since it doesn’t affect me.

7. Guess my income is above a certain limit.

I may donate mine to an animal rescue.

8. Amount was reduced for any income over $75,000. Mine was like $953.45.

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. My income is under $75,000.

Go figure.

[question everything]

12. Apparently it is prorated if income is above $75,000 for single, $150,000 for a couple
