After you file

Ohhh boy did this thread crush my dreams.

So. Lemme tell you my story real quick and then maybe all you "old timers" can tell me exactly how screwed am I..

So. I haven't EVER gotten ONE stimmy. 

My first 1200 went out as paper check to: first, an old address I'd been evicted from in May 2020. The nice ppl there returned it to sender. Then they sent it out a second time, returned again. Finally, they sent it out to an address I had lived in Oct 2019, which they must have gotten from my having my food stamp card sent while there. Only issue was, I was in very bad car crash Dec 3rd, was in hospital until May (well hospital then physical therapy) so I wasnt on top of tracking all this back in June.

So, my 1200 paper check went out June 9th for 3rd time. This time, the lady who owns the house where I rented that room TOOK MY CHECK, OPENED IT, SIGNED MY NAME (VERYBADLY MIGHT I ADD, SHE USED FREAKINH WHITE OUT, I HAVE A PIC OF THE FORGED CHECK THAT A MUTUAL ACQUAINTANCE TOOK) 

This lady then appears to have been able to cash my check without me, likely had someone pretend to be me and said that I had lost my I'd but signed it over to her, idk but itd be a 3rd party check then plus badly forged so I still dont see how she got it cashed...all this happened in SC where I was living. However, by june 12th I had moved back here to OH. 

So also, I filed taxes in may when I got out of pt but my return always gets offset. So I never got any money but they did offset my refund eventually. 

So in September I decided to open a trace. I called irs Sept 30th and told them all my info told them never got my 1200.

Told they would investigate and to give them 6weeks and I'd either have my refund or a fraud kit if my check had been cashed.

I had not yet received the pic of my check and thus I didnt know that lady had cashed it.

I waited 6 weeks. Called back.  Told oh we are behind, we will escalate your case.

Called back 2 weeks later told that agent didnt escalate it right and now it's been closed! But theyd be glad to reopen. I asked for a supervisor.  Was told theyd call me back. Also told them that my check needed to be MAILED, as I'd realized they had old info for me, my exs bank account from those 2019 taxes I had filed in may. Was told they couldnt update bank info but could remove it so told them to.

Tried cLl back told irs closed for xmas. 2and stimmy, 600, was released. CHECKED WHERES MY PAYMENT AND FIND THAT IT WAS DIRECT DEPOSITED TO MY EXS BANK ACCOUNT FROM MY TAXES! 

Call irs jan 3rd after break.  Am informed that since its after 1st of the year, I now have to file both payments I never got on my 2020 taxes as a rebate credit.

Filed taxes with TT on Jan 6th. Now, I did not work in 2020 at all due to my injuries.  So I ONLY EVER FILED bc I wanted to claim the 1800 from first two stimmy on taxes as rebate credit like I was told.

Did that. Only thing on refund would be the 1800. 

Refund accepted Feb 12th. 

STILL NOT APPROVED,  AND IVE SINCE THEN BEEN CONTACTED BY A TAX ADVOCATE SAYING BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEM SHOWS BOTH OF MY STIMULUS CHECKS WERE CASHED, EVEN THO NONE BY ME, I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECOVERY REBATE CREDIT,  I INSTEAD FAXED IN A 1399 I THINK IT WAS ON BOTH PAYMENTS TO MY TAX ADVOCATE. WAS ALREADY TOLD SHE HAS TO FWD IT TO SOME OTHER DEPT AND NOT TO COUNT MY CHECKS ANYTIME SOON.

MEANWHILE,  3RD STIMMY INITIALLY GOT SENT TO SAME BANK ACCOUNT, THE EX. BUT LUCKILY HE HAD MESSED UP AND OVERDRAFTED IT BAD AFTER THE 2ND 600 PAYMENT,  SO FINALLY 3 WEEKS AGO I LOG IN TO WMP JUST KINDA RANDOMLY,  IT HAD ALREEADY SAID 1400 DEPOSITED TO HIM. BUT IMAGINE MY DELIGHT WHEN I GOT THE " WE NEED MORE INFO" MESSAGE AND A SHINY NEW UPDATE DIRECT DEPOSIT BUTTON.

So. That was 3 weeks ago. IRS now has my correct account, has my correct mailing address cause I've gotten mail from them. I dont know what to do tho bc if yall are right and its held up because of my taxes not processing, they wont ever process bc I dont qualify for the rebate and that's all that's on the return. So, going forward maybe since my bank is now finally fixed, itll send the money to my account, or is anything going to process?

Is this something I could fix by like somehow amending my return? But since I did not work last year I jyst need to remove the 1800 (1200 + 600) and then what, resubmit my return with nothing on it?

I just desperately need some of this total 3200 the irs has managed to **bleep** me on. I'm actually homeless right now literally stuck living on friends couches while my little boy never sees me, I just want to pay on a place. Should I email my congressman,  or what??

Sorry  so long thanks for reading please advise.
