@AmyC I appreciate the response. Unfortunately I do not have my deposit. I am praying I do not end up having to claim it on taxes. I owe the IRS and they have already confirmed that the credit will be applied to my debt so I won't see any of it. And even if I was able to claim and receive it as a refund, my transcript shows a refund issued. The IRS rep said this will trigger an audit which will delay processing and that's on top of the delay we face due to the PATH Act. I don't feel that is fair at all. This stimulus is supposed to go to people to help during this horrible time but many may not get it because of a screw up that is out of our control.
It's very stressful and frustrating. I am sorry for venting and I do sincerely thank you for responding. This is the first response I have received that actually gives information.
Fingers crossed we get something this week!!
