The second stimulus check has different income limits versus the first stimulus check. The first stimulus check was based on your 2018 or 2019 taxes, if you had filed them. But the second check is based solely on your 2019 taxes. That means if you got a new job or earned more money between 2018 and 2019, you may be in the upper limit, and receive only a partial check.
If your adjusted gross income (AGI) is below,
- $75,000 for individuals
- $112,500 for heads of household
- $150,000 for married, joint filers
You should receive $600 per individual plus $600 per qualifying child.
For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 above the $75,000/$112,500/$150,000 thresholds. This means:
- An individual without children will not receive any payment if their AGI exceeds $87,000
- A couple without children will not receive any payment if their AGI exceeds $174,000
- A family of four will not receive any payment if their AGI exceeds $198,000
You can find your 2019 AGI on line 8b of your Form 1040.
