Yes!! You are right!!! We all need to rise up and do something! Local news is all I can think of. I did reach out but no response yet. Treasury Department must know this was a big mistake. Want the federal taxes, fine!! But not the stimulus. So wrong!!
The Treasury Department has nothing to do with it - they are just enforcing the law that Congress passed. The CARES act suspends all tax refund offsets except for child support. The IRS says if there is an outstanding 2019 Injured Spouse form in file then they will apply it to the stimulus payment. If they didn't then the IRS should mail a letter in about 2 weeks explaining it with instructions how to dispute it.
Congress wrote the stimulus law that way. Complain to you Congress person.
