H2B Visa Holder Stimulus Check

stefanhave — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 14:45:32 GMT

Hi. Quick one.

I just filed for the 2019 taxes as an H2B, but I can't file for 2020, since I left the US in May 2019.

I already got my first stimulus check. Am I still eligible for the 2nd and 3rd round?

Some of my friends got both the 2nd and the 3rd round so kinda confused. On IRS "Check my payment" there is no info on this issue, with my SSN plugged in.

Thanks,

Stefan

As you are no longer a resident alien and do not file a US tax return for 2020, you cannot claim the second stimulus. Also you are not eligible for the third stimulus.

You received the first stimulus based on your 2018 tax return.

heya,

perfect, I understand now. I was just curious as another friend who also left in 2019, but late 2019 got all 3 of them, but I will not insist on this.

Probably there are others in more need than I am.

Thanks a lot.
