My stimulus check is wrong. What now?

[Stacey5267]

My wife and I got 1200 stimulus yesterday, should have been 2400 since we filed jointly and make less than the threshold provided. That is quite a large missing payment. I do receive disability as well but was under the impression wouldn't matter and would still get stimulus payment. How do we complain about this?

I didn’t receive payment for my three kids I only received payment for myself I don’t know why.. my children are (2)11 (1) 2

Me and my wife filed jointly with 3 children and we received 1000$less then what was calculated and shown

Again, why are you blaming Turbo Tax? I know people who did not use Turbo Tax, yet the same thing has happened. People please educate yourselves. THE IRS SCREWED UP, NOT TURBO TAX!!!!! 

[webicknell]

Agree that this issues with incorrect Stimulus Checks is not the fault of Turbo Tax... 

This is an IRS issue to solve.

Ours is also wrong. We filed jointly married and make less than $150k and have two children ages 5 and 2 and only received $2400. I hope this gets resolved sooner than later.

We are a married couple filing jointly in 2018. We received only $1200. Income is within the guidelines. And when I checked the irs.gov website, for both mine and my husband's accounts, it says the deposit was made on 4/15 to the same account. But only the $1200 was deposited. Very strange and no way to inquire about it. Poorly rolled out. Very poorly.

We are married filed jointly  with one dependent but only received $1450, half of the payment as if we were head of household + one child. What do we do in this case? Is there a number to contact?

[Funlvnmama]

Earned less than $99,000 for single filers, $136,500 for heads of household, or $198,000 for married filers according to the most recent tax return filed.

I don’t think anyone is blaming turbo tax. The IRS doesn’t have a place to “discuss” and no place to have this discussion. When you google the statement, this is one of the only threads that comes up. 

[Funlvnmama]

But if you had to pay tax on your 401k they could have taken it from that. From what I've been reading there are several reasons it could be short

Question answered please delete

[Funlvnmama]

My eldest was born in mid December and I remember claiming him at the time.  Although I have given up on the free sights because it hasn't been giving me my child tax credit or anything, now I have to wait for the place yo open back up with people to help you file.

Yes mine is $500 short as well. Married filed jointly with a 5 and 2 year old. Make under the threshold. Supposedly they are mailing info on why you got your amount within 15 days. Seems to be a common theme. 

[Funlvnmama]

Yeah it has a phone number on it to call I tried calling the same number yesterday got a recording that they don't have enough employees to answer questions and use website which is pointless
