Many retirees don't have much income on paper and will qualify for a check.

I'll use whatever amount I get to pay for increased prices resulting from the printing the stimulus.

Yeah, I'll take the money and distribute it as I see fit. It's the most influence over government spending I've ever had, and I'm not going to miss the opportunity.

If you have filed your taxes before they issued the check...they will use 2020 AGI
If you haven't...they will use 2019 AGI

That's why the distribution scheme makes no sense. The virus impacted people economically in 2020. You could have been doing great in 2019 and have your business/income crash in 2020 and wouldn't get a check when you really need it. The stimulus should be based on your situation in 2020.

I did pretty good (for me) in 2019 and i will not receive either of the last two checks, even though in 2020 I made about 3 bucks.

and that is why it is fair....2020 being an aberration.

I don’t understand how anyone on a Porsche forum is getting a stimulus check...

there's nothing really fair about the government handing out money. to anyone.
;)

^^^ cstreit
I belong to a Honda forum also. Is that better?

Somehow it doesn't seem fair that I don't get a stimulus check :(

this is true.

Too much income?...sorry, just noticed your locale.:D

Yep, we is poor people us fullas in the South Pacific.

For those who are saying people on a Porsche forum shouldn't get a stimulus....what is the total amount of money in someone's checking account that anything more than that would disqualify them, assuming they have no other money in any accounts.

In other words.....where do you draw the line that someone is wealthy enough that they don't need it.

Never thought of it that way. Good point.

If it makes you feel better, I own 3 Fords, 2 Toyotas and a Mazda too!

^^^ You qualify with the 3 Fords. :D

I know! Technically the Mazda is a 4th Ford.

I don’t understand why they aren’t. Who pays the damn taxes in the first place?
