IRS debacle involving stimulus checks

[IWishIWasAPro]

Apparently a lot of stimulus deposits were either sent to wrong accounts or inactive accounts. Apparently if you filed through turbotax you will need to claim it on your taxes. How you manage to mess this up is beyond me but it leads me to a story of a guy I used to work with way back when, real nut and conspiracy guy.

He was big against banks. So big he would refuse to put even one dollar in any bank especially a major one. He had kids early on and divorced. By the time he turned into this defiant, conspiracy driven guy his kids were already grown. He would work low level jobs and ALWAYS claim 1 on his taxes so he could get damn near the full amount of money on his checks. $15 hour isn't much but when you're not paying your share of taxes it probably feels more. I know he had a decent car but he had no credit and really not too much in his name if anything. Not once was he arrested or fined for not paying taxes. I'm assuming he still does what he does today if he's alive but this entire situation with the stimulus checks just reminded me of him for some reason. Maybe people should just refuse to pay taxes this year. Lol.

Not once did anybody garnish his wages either. He had no health care and would always just go to the ER if he had a problem. Never paid any medical costs either. It always appalled me he got away with all this.

My daughter got her $600 right when they said it should be received.

Biden’s Final Pitch To Georgia: Vote Blue And $2,000 Checks Will ‘Go Out The Door Immediately’

 

[John Kelly]

I've instructed the federal government to send my $2,000 stimulus check directly to my BetDSI betting account.

An oldie but a goodie.

Turbo tax had to respond. Lol

(2) Unfortunately, because of an IRS error, millions of payments were sent to the wrong accounts and some may not have received their stimulus payment. We have been working tirelessly on a solution with the Treasury and the IRS. As a result, our expectation now is that within days the error will be corrected and stimulus payments will begin being deposited into the correct bank accounts.

If you do it right, you'll never have to fund it again.

first check was mailed, 2nd check... sent to an old checking account...not even sure why turbotax had the account since I didn't receive or owe any money.

How much are these checks you guys are getting?

 

[MrTop]

600 - 2 dimes... the bettors could be getting a bump too.

I got 600. I'm sure there will be another one in the next month or two.

Funny but not nice.

I had a decent run in December and then all hell broke loose in January.

Ugh.
