I think today is supposed to be the first day the government might be direct depositing them? Nothing yet here. I think I've decided I'm going to buy a couple of new bikes with some of the money.

I guess some lower-income families could sign up on an IRS site last week for the checks if they hadn't paid income taxes the last couple of years? And shortly folks in the lower income levels can use a portal system to enter their banking information to get the checks direct deposited?

Otherwise from what I understand, the folks who have already submitted their banking info. (from a refund or check sent to the IRS in the last 2 years) should get their checks this week?

I believe some folks already received their check.

No

My wife and I are in the group, noting getting a government check. Neither one of my son's have received one. While I know people that are living under the lowest, income, suppose to receive a check first. They have not.

Friend of mine got theirs on Saturday. He has a good blue collar job. Not rich, but not lowest income, though his wife doesn't work and they have 2 kids.

Nope.. I figure we'll be some of the last..Which doesn't matter it goes into the house fund

Same here. If we get anything it's going to help pay for the new HVAC system we had to get installed a week or so ago. So, I got that going for me, which is nice.

Since it is direct deposit, it really is going to fall to those who make just enough money to have bank accounts and and credit cards, but not so much they have to pay taxes. I always owe taxes so I dont get anything from the IRS direct deposited.

IRS is supposed to have a site up where you can enter your bank info if they don't have it. Not sure if it's up yet or whether it will work. These things tend to crash due to volume when first launched.

Don't know the pecking order, but I filed my return electronically before the IRS even opened up accepting returns and got my refund on the first available cycle, yet have not seen anything yet. In case you thought your file date has any bearing.

Nope. Should be getting $3,400... we'll see.

Well...maybe early filing does matter. Too funny...just appeared this afternoon!

IRS TREAS 310/TAX REF/041520/PPD 4/13/2020 None $2,400.00

Do you pay what you owe via draft? If so, they should have your banking info, right?

I hope the govt has that site locked down. I'm pretty sure it's going to be target.

They're pretty secure. With the amount of money they move around, they need to be.

Mine is showing as pending in my online banking

Buy American when you spend it, if not then at least don't buy directly from China. Screw it, I'm buying guns. I already have a new AR12 shotty on the way.

Not yet.

A single filer making $75k or less gets a full stimulus check.

A married couple making $150k or less makes a full stimulus check.

That's well beyond "not paying taxes." That's probably 80% of people who file taxes.

The IRS is going to issue an online tool in the next couple of days to check the status of your Trump bucks.

I think you missed the point. Nothing I said has anything to do with WHO gets the checks, everything to do with WHO GETS THEM FIRST.
