Question

3rd Stimulus

Anyone get their 3 Stimulus (TAXEIP3) yet? Mine was lower than expected. I thought I qualified for maximum amount since Married Filing Jointly was below $150k

They send me half amount, I don’t make more than 60k per year.

My first thought is that the IRS used 2019 tax information in computing your third stimulus payment. Would that explain the difference? Has your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return been filed and accepted?

This TurboTax Help states:

Do I need to do anything to get my stimulus check?

You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited.

We do not know when or how the additional third stimulus amounts will be processed.

Perhaps, at some point soon, the 2020 Federal 1040 tax return information will be updated and the full payment issued but we do not know what the IRS plans to do. The IRS could, again, use the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return to reconcile the third stimulus payments.

Follow the TurboTax COVID Tax Center and the IRS Economic Impact Payment Information Center as further updates are issued by the IRS.

I guess it explains the difference, but i dont understand how the scaling down from 75k to 80k works. Only got $200 something dollars for my portion.

I filed my taxes on Feb 16....the IRS website says it is still processing...but it has said that for almost 2 weeks now.

So much for filing early and getting it approved in 21 days.

this is the note i get...which doesnt help any. lol

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:

Tax Topic 152, Refund Information

Please Note:

For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.

Hello, @JamesG1

My third stimulus check was rejected by my bank because it was listed as a checking account but it is actually savings, how do I proceed or is there anything I can do at this point?

Thank you,

Per the IRS, if your payment can’t be delivered to you for any reason, it will be returned to the IRS. To get your payment reissued:

Set up direct deposit with Get My Payment. After your payment is returned to the IRS, your payment status will update to “Need More Information.” You can then choose direct deposit to a:
- Bank account
- Prepaid debit card (must be reloadable; contact the card issuer for information)
- Alternative financial products that have a routing and account number associated with them
Update your address with the IRS. The easiest way is to file your 2020 tax return with your current address, if you haven’t already done so. Once we receive your current address, we will reissue your payment.

For other ways to update your address with the IRS, see How do I notify the IRS my address has changed?

I’m still waiting on my third stimulus. It’s been saying I’m eligible for three months and I still have received it😩😩

The TurboTax prepared Federal tax return showed a refund that included the third Stimulus rebate credit which I was entitled to. But to date I have only received a refund payment which did NOT include the rebate amount ($2,800). Perhaps these are no longer being issued?

The credit is still being paid.

Please check your bank accounts to see if the payment was made but slipped your mind or wasn't noticed.

You can check the IRS Your Online Account to see what the IRS has on record as paid to you.

I 've been checking daily the account where the tax refunds go and where what I did receive (the full tax refund due, excluding the stimulus part). Been the same one for years! No 3rd stimulus payment so far. However, I noticed in another comment that the IRS may be sending them out in batches, so I guess I just have to be patient. Have a great week ahead!
