stimulus check
 

Received a check from the IRS Treasury this morning....$441
I'm assuming that is a stimulus check? I have no reason to get anything else from them.

An actual check? Or direct deposit? I don't even know how that number would work with any of the Stimulus (either CARES or the current)

Was it from Uncle $ammyG? Sending mine to Pelosi .... again :D

direct deposit.
The reason I'm almost sure...is because it's the same ratio of the payment that I got from the prior stimulus check

What comes around goes around.

I get the full amount from Uncle Sammy... just checked. Posted for deposit on 01042021 ...

The payee is listed as IRS TREAS 310

They took out taxes? My last one came in complete without taxes being deducted. And I live in Connecticut where everything is taxed. Sometimes twice.

From what I recall... you should get the full amt. My posted amt just shows "External Deposit" for now.

No..taxes aren't taken out.
I'm over the allowable income for a complete check.

Ahh....good for you! I didn't realize they did that. I thought you either got it, or you didn't.

I haven't looked into it much but I thought the ceiling was 75K or 150K filing jointly. I thought this go around if you were over the limits you got nothin! I'll have to do some more looking.

5 buck reduction for every 100 over those limits.

^^^ sticking it to us retirees again!


(I'm not complaining)

Got my 600 last night.

i didnt get one last time.

i dont expect one this time. it is such a temporary bandaid fix anyways.

Of the 10 or 12 people I talked to today at lunch....over half said they received the direct deposit yesterday.

I'd be down at the local slot machines at the convenience store. Pack of cigs, some pbr tall boys, and a bag of chips.

PBR?? Uncle Sam wants to pay for something better than that.:eek:

Nothing yet...

Laugh it up fuzz ball (Han Solo ref.), I've already covered over 130 of those checks this year in fed withholding.
Some people get checks they don't deserve, others just get the bill.

Nothing yet.

But on the bright side I've decided to put the money towards all new coil packs for the 3.5 Ecoboost. I figure what I'm paying in taxes for the stimulus I'm recovering some of the cost by doing the work myself.

^^^
Supposedly a bigger chunk going out tonite...check your acc't tomorrow.

I'm going to use $200 of it to start a small business, then use the other $400 as a down payment for a house

Nah, I'm in the same boat as Vash here.

I guess its "Free" Porsche parts for me.

Yup, mine is posted for 1.4.21

Apparently not many received theirs today?

I had auto deposit. No checkie and no washee.

^^^ Prob next year.

“Yesterday, Secretary Mnuchin announced households should begin receiving those payments as early as today and this week. That is more good news for a lot of people.

I really needed my Hookerz'NBlow stimuli $$$ by tonight ... crap :(

Read something about it taking longer for SS recipients.....

Bull crap. I’m getting SSI. Got the schizzle first day. That asshat McConnell is holding my 1400. Did I mention he’s an asshat?

That's me...I started the thread....I'm 67

Why do I get the feeling that most on this BBS don’t NEED this, it’s more they WANT it? Personally I think anybody who hasn’t lost their job shouldn’t be eligible. Sorry but for all the news of how bad off people are, there’s a record boom of people buying homes, vacation properties, boats, RVs, i.e. discretionary purchases. Which means that a whole bunch of people aren’t feeling any pinch from 2020. Meanwhile this “free” money is basically just a government loan that we are going to be paying back for decades in the form of higher taxes and inflation. So don’t fool yourselves into thinking there’s not any strings attached....

havent had a paycheck since March. this $600, might as well give me a bag of jelly beans

I'm set up with direct deposit with my SS but the prior stimulus check came by snail mail. I think you had to apply online to receive the stimulus by direct deposit with the default being USPS.

Good point and one that I think most of us already realize.

But for someone like me on SS - how will I be affected by future tax increases?

I think it depends on how your taxes were paid or refunded in the last reporting year.
If you direct deposited a refund...you should get the check the same way..and early.
