Stimulus Check when Changing Income 2018 and 2019

In 2018 we sold stock to pay off our house. This meant our 2018 income was above $150,000, for joint filers, though it was never before. I forgot and was holding off turning in my 2019 taxes because we owed. We just filed, and it was accepted on 5/26/2019. My income was under $150,000. Should we get our check for $2900, according the information even thought 2018 income was too high?

Yes, you should receive a stimulus payment based on your 2019 tax return after your return has been fully processed by the IRS. You still have until July 15, 2020 to pay any balance due for your 2019 return. It does not have to be paid for the stimulus payment to be processed.

You can check the status of your Federal refund through the IRS -- Where's My Refund? tool.

See the following TurboTax article: Where's My Tax Refund: How to check your refund status

Also, there is now a tool available through the IRS site link below that will allow you to check the status of your stimulus payment. It is called Get My Payment.
