Stimulus and Refund Concern

[mrsmcgee-2020]

Will I receive this 3rd round of stimulus even if I have not recieved my 2020 refund yet?  Or, will the irs go off of my 2019 return? Not counting the weekends, it will be 21 days  this  Friday, and it's not looking very promising to me or my husband. This is so frustratingly confusing, overwhelming, and discouraging!!!

We don't have specific information on the income qualifications or procedures for the third stimulus payment because the measure hasn't been passed yet. However, if you had issues receiving your earlier stimulus, then the best way to ensure that you are one of the first to receive any future stimulus payments is to file your 2020 tax return as early as possible and use direct deposit so that the IRS will have your updated information. 

You can find the most up to date information from the IRS here, and updates from TurboTax here as they develop.  Also you should check this link regularly.
