YOU WROTE:
So just to clear our AGI on 2018 was more than $150,000 versus our AGI on 2019 which is less than $150,000. So my point is, since I filed the non filer and our 2019 is rejected then I don’t have the choice but to put my 2018 claim on the “need more information” section when I check my payment status on the IRS website. So the AGI for our 2018 return has been accepted by the IRS when I completed the “ need more information” under the the check my payment status a week ago. So really we could have gotten a full $2400 if we didn’t file the non filer and if we filed our 2019 return.
Ahhhhhh..... Got it....
That "little detail" that your AGI in 2018 was over $150,000, (and disqualifying) .... was kinda an important detail that wasn't revealed until just now.
Yes... that does make a difference. Based on 2018 you don't qualify.... but based on 2019 (yet not-filed) you DO qualify.... but since you submitted a non-filers 1040 via e-file by mistake, the IRS doesn't know that you qualify for $2,400 and there is no mechanism available to you now, to let them know this.
Ouch!!
Now I feel your pain. I understand.
The only remedy at this point to let the IRS know that you qualify for the $2,400 Stimulus Money, is to send in a paper Form 1040 for 2019. But that could take at least 6-12 weeks before the IRS processes it. Even when they finally do process it, I don't think anyone knows how you would go about getting your $2,400 retroactively.
Certainly, the IRS will eventually catch up and see you qualify and get you the $2,400 you are owed. But it could be months. It certainly doesn't help you in your moment of need... right now.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
