My stimulus check is wrong. What now?

[Cinjosh711]

Call the news stations, and the Goveners office and complain, if enough people do this maybe they will investigate and correct it.

I filed for 3 children this year 2019 but did not get the full amount. 1,700.00. I did not file for all three in 2018 just 1 of my kids.  I have custody of them. my ex-wife was supposed to file in 2018 for 2 of them but she did not work. how do I get my full amount 2,700?

Seems like I am not the only one in this boat. Just like many others who have commented my deposit was short 1 dependent. I am married we filed jointly and have 3 kids ages 3, 7, & 8 all of which I have claimed as dependents since they were born. I received a deposit this morning of $3400 instead of the $3900 I should have received. While very grateful for any help we have received these payments are based on need, and obviously someone with 3 dependents would require more than someone with 2. I find it very frustrating that there is absolutely zero information out there about what to do.

Never received and if I am a dependent my mother did not receive for me.

Same here. Filed jointly with my wife this year with one dependent. She received $1200 in her bank account she filed her 2018 taxes with, and we received nothing for my daughter and I. Used their new app to track mine and it doesn’t exist.

Same here!

I received stimulus based on my 2018 return and 2019 was filed in Jan and refund received in January.  I had 3 dependents on 2019 and only 1 in 2018.  How to you inquiry or who can you ask?

Same. We didnt recieve for our children, we only got 2,400 for filling jointly with AGI of $88,600 and we have 3 kids.

For security reasons, the IRS plans to mail a letter about the economic impact payment to the taxpayer’s last known address within 15 days after the payment is paid. The letter will provide information on how the payment was made and how to report any failure to receive the payment.

yes! I just called my local representative and told them and all of the news stations as well. Bring it to your local officials attention and let's get this fixed!

[Cinjosh711]

Awesome!  Everyone needs to do this! 

[Sd1212]

Yes you are right. In the same boat as well received 500 for my 4 year old but nothing for my 8 month old born in 2019. A lot of people are complaining of the same issues. Not sure if this helped or not. Have a great day.  

[GGW2020]

Claimed head of household plus 2 children, deposit should be $2,200. Why is my deposit only $1,700 it' is short $500????????????????????

[Livelybm]

We received our stimulus check also. It was correct but didn't receive the $500 for my grandaughter we have had custody for the last 9 yrs. We claim her every year. 

[philalbin1995]

I am having the SAME issue. I think it’s because the IRS hasn’t completed processing our 2019 taxes so they used our 2018 tax filing which obviously our kids weren’t born yet... the IRS isn’t taking calls “due to reduced staff”.. if I find a solution I’ll let you know!
