Has anyone else received only part of their stimulus

I only received an amount for half of my family. I had the same issue with the 1st and second stimulus and had to wait until I filed my 2020 taxes to get the remainder of my stimulus.

It is best to check the rules for the third stimulus to know what to expect. These are different from the first and second stimulus.

 

If you are married filing jointly, the stimulus payment is reduced when the adjusted gross income is between $150,000 and $160,000. For adjusted gross income amounts over $160,000, there is no stimulus.

 

To calculate what to expect, use this stimulus calculator.

The rules for each of the three stimulus payments also differ as to whether they can be seized (and by whom) for past due debts.

Yes I used the stimulus calculator. I am aware of the rules. The issue is that I am only getting half of the stimulus payment due to an error on turbo tax's part. I filed my 2020 taxes and had to do the rebate for the 1st and 2nd stimulus and it was approved. For some reason it is not going off of my amended return.

Thank you I did see that the bank account that it is depositedin can be froze and collectedby debt collectors. This has happened on each stimulus and it is that they are only giving me half the amount for half of my family. Example: A family of four that makes 20,000 a year. Husband and wife with two kids they give them 2800. No debt no collections.
