Will I still get a stimulus check if my taxes were rejected

If you received the first two payments, the IRS has your information to send you a third payment.

 

You must fix the rejection to e-file your 2020 tax return. TurboTax would have sent you an email telling you exactly what was wrong. See: How do I fix a rejected return?

 

The IRS would ask for this to prove some Credit eligibility for children under 17 in 2020.

 

To reach the IRS, call 1-800-829-1040 Monday through Friday 7 AM - 7 PM.

Will I still get a stimulus check if my taxes were rejected

My e-file federal tax return for 2020 was rejected.  I think the reason is that I submitted an incorrect amount for the previous year's (2019) Adjusted Gross Income. 

Will I still get a stimulus check if my taxes were rejected

 

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2019 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2019 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

 

If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.

 

Or—-if you filed as a “non-filer” just to get the stimulus check on a 2019 return, try using $1 as the AGI.

If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

The IRS doesn't share your information with us but if you filed a 2019 income tax return, yes, you'll probably get your stimulus payment.

  • The IRS will determine eligibility and where to send stimulus payments based on your last tax return. Stimulus payments will likely go to the bank account where their last tax refund was deposited. For those who didn’t have a refund or didn’t choose direct deposit for their refund, the stimulus payment may be sent by check.  

The IRS just started sending out stimulus checks and will continue to send stimulus payments for weeks to come. 

 

Check the IRS Get My Payment tool. If the status is "Payment status unavailable", it means that either the IRS has not yet issued your payment OR you are not eligible for a stimulus payment. 

  • Once the IRS issues your payment, it will show the amount of the stimulus and how it will be delivered.
  • You only need to check the tool once a day since the IRS updates it once a day.

If you qualify for third stimulus payment,  you could get up to $1,400 for each taxpayer in your household plus $1,400 for each dependent.

  • Families earning less than $150,000 a year and individuals earning less than $75,000 a year should get the full $1,400 per person.
  • Families earning up to $160,000 per year and individuals earning up to $80,000 per year will receive prorated amounts.
  • One notable difference from the first two stimulus is that you will receive stimulus payments for all your dependents, including adult dependents and college students.

To correct your rejected return, see How do I fix a rejected return? If the rejection is due to a wrong PIN or IP PIN, see Is my Self-Select PIN the same as my IP PIN?

Will I still get a stimulus check if my taxes were rejected

We have no way of knowing that. 

If you are eligible and the IRS knows how to contact you, yes. 

If you received the first and second payments, you should get the third payment the same way. 

 

If you haven't gotten any payments, you need to file a 2020 Tax Year return in order to get what you were shorted. 

 

Why was your return rejected? Can someone else claim you as their dependent? Can you mail in your return?

Not unless you file your tax return by either fixing the reason it was rejected and re-filing, or by printing and mailing it.   A rejected tax return went nowhere.   The IRS does not have your tax return if it was rejected.

 

 

 

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.  

Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead. What is the rejection code or rejection message? 

 If it was rejected for AGI—-be aware that many 2019 returns took so long for the IRS to process that your 2019 AGI might not be in the IRS system.   Try using zero instead.

You can get the third stimulus payment (economic impact payment) and and child tax credits by filing a 2021 income tax return @Lebron12.

 

Any missing payments will be added as credits and will be part of your refund.

 

The IRS is no longer ending out stimulus checks.
