You need to quit with all this stuff. Your stimulus payment is based on your 2020 status. So the IRS will ante up with you *AFTER* you file your 2020 tax return next year. You'll get the balance *IF* you qualify, when or after your file your 2020 tax return next year.

I am in a similar position. We filed jointly for 2018, but separate for 2019, both qualify and have no reason to be disqualified, but I received my 1200 and my spouse did not receive any. He has not filed his 2019 taxes yet, but with the deadline being moved to July he should be fine.  We did file in 2018 so not sure why he isnt getting anything.

We just received our Stimulus  deposit today and it is only for $1200. My husband and I have always filed Joint and make less than the cutoff.  We have filed 2018 and 2019 taxes so hopefully we will see another deposit or the letter soon.

Anyone only get 1200 married filing jointly? 

[Arleen1313]

Yes we do and my husband does have a valid social security number 

[Arleen1313]

We never received anything from the IRS about the payment or shortage. I was under the impression it wasn’t going to be touched by anyone, and no one was gonna be penalized for anything.

If your spouse did not separately receive a $1,200 payment, you may be able to claim the stimulus as a credit on your 2020 return.

Per the IRS:

If you did not receive the full amount to which you believe you are entitled, you will be able to claim the additional amount when you file your 2020 tax return.  This is particularly important for individuals who may be entitled to the additional $500 per qualifying child dependent payments. For VA and SSI recipients who don’t have a filing requirement and have a child, they need to use the Non-Filer tool (link) on IRS.gov by May 5 in order to have the $500 added automatically to their $1,200 Economic Impact payment. We encourage people to review our “How do I calculate my EIP Payment” question and answer (See question 11).
