Why did I only get half of my stimulus payment? I qualify for $1800 and only got $900 so far.

You are so wrong my friend. TurboTax stole money from me and a bunch of other people. TurboTax wants us to file and claim the rest do they can charge us to get our money. Your answer isn't fooling anyone.

You are free to believe anything you want to believe.  However, since TurboTax is only a software company and not a bank with a routing number or any account number for receiving ACH payments it is not possible for TurboTax to receive or send any type of tax refund or stimulus payment.


If you used the Refund Processing Service to have the TurboTax account fees paid from your federal tax refund, then see the information on this SBTPG website - https://www.sbtpg.com/coronavirus-stimulus-payment-info/

the IRS did not send half payments, there is literally no math where we would end up with 900 or 1500. they have all of our information, Turbotax absolutely sends money like a bank or they would not have been able to forward the amount after the IRS screwed up and sent payments to their accounts rather than ours. I believe this is a turbo tax error now. they need to check again and send us the rest of the money we are due. People are hurting and shouldn't have to wait for tax time.

Same here. I am owed another $1500! Both the IRS (we already know) and Turbotax are full of incompetence. For a "software company" they sure don't have a clue. Or maybe they are complicit? No way that they didn't know the "dummy accounts" used to take the fees from our tax refund were closed and that it would pose a risk for those people! We received the previous stimulus fine because it was still tax season. Now they only send half of the money to what seems like a bunch of people and again they deflect. What a bunch of clowns!!! We will get to the bottom of it! The IRS and Turbotax had to work out the first issue and if they don't figure this out they will be in trouble. A tax credit isn't the same a stimulus. Stealing money from the people is going to be a mistake.

A friend of mine told me my husband and I should have gotten $1200 each in the first stimulus check.  We each only got $600.  We make well under the $75000 in income.  I also had this friend do my taxes this year especially to get the third check but he never asked for my bank account info.  The first & second checks were deposited into our account so I thought the second 1/2 of the first ck would also be deposited.  Got the 2nd check no problem.

When you prepared your 2020 tax return, you should have a recovery rebate credit on line 30 equal to the stimulus payment due you for the first round. If you did not list deposit account information on your 2020 tax return, your refund will be mailed to you.

 

You should also get a third round stimulus check of $1,400 each. You don't need to do anything special to get that check, since you filed a tax return for 2020.
