Married filed Jointly Stim Check

[txgnr381]

My husband is the income source and he filed married jointly with me and had our 2 kids as dependents. Am I a non-filer and do I have to fill out the info, or will he receive the 2400 plus the dependent stim check for the both of us without me messing with that?

Do not do anything. Your name is on the Married Filing Jointly tax return so the stimulus payment should be $1200 for each of you and $500 for each child under the age of 17. If you had a refund and it was direct deposited and you did not pay your TurboTax fees with your federal refund, you should receive the direct deposit soon. Check the status on the stimulus payment portal: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

This all assumes your Adjusted Gross Income was under the $198,000 limit.

ok great. I entered the info for our married jointly return and MY SSN and info into the Stim Check App,  with our AGI and address and what not, yesterday, and it prompted me to change our bank account info, which was a relief because it was entered incorrectly into TurboTax this year so we received a check. So I changed it to the correct info. I'm assuming it changed it for both my husband and I more than likely since it was joint?

Married filed jointly, my husband the source of income, we don't have kids. My husband received Stim check $1200 yesterday, will I also receive mine?

Both stimulus payments are usually made at the same time on a married filing jointly tax return. Are you sure you filed MFJ? Did you file MFJ in both 2018 and 2019?
