My husband and I only received 1/2 of our stimulus checks! We should have received $4200 (me, him, dependent) but only got $2100. Why? We don't make the max amount.

Our updated payment date for the second half of the $4200 is dated 3/24 (today) and lists our bank account but there has been no deposit made yet.  Is anyone else having this issue?

My stimulus was received today just like the IRS website said it would be.  We do not know why something less than the full amount was issued. 

Has your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return been filed and accepted?  Perhaps the IRS is waiting to compare this payment to your 2020 tax information.

This TurboTax Help states:

Do I need to do anything to get my stimulus check?

You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited.

Perhaps, at some point soon, the 2020 Federal 1040 tax return information will be updated and the full payment issued but we do not know what the IRS plans to do.  The IRS could, again, use the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return to reconcile the third stimulus payments.

Follow the TurboTax COVID Tax Center and the IRS Economic Impact Payment Information Center as further updates are issued by the IRS.
