Hello Dana
According to my research, the applicable standard AGI for determining eligibility to receive the stimulus checks from the government is 2019 (or 2018 if you did not file for 2019). Instead, the current TT program seems to be using the AGI figure for 2020. this doesn't make sense, since the payment was supposed to have been made during 2020, actually fairly early in 2020, well before anyone knew what his AGI for 2020 would be. So, if you did not receive the first one (as I did not), it seems to me you ought to evaluate your eligibility based on the 2019 number. In my case, that was only $163.7K, (filing jointly), so I ought to be able to claim appx. 1700 (compare the gross $2400). Please review and confirm that use of 2019 AGI is correct.
thanks.
