WHY AREN'T STIMULUS PAYMENT GOING THROUGH? WHY ISN'T THE IRS FINALIZING TAXES? WHO IS WATCHING THIS SHIT?
Yeah, we are pissed off. We are awake. But NO ONE IS ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS!
Americans with tax issues aren't getting their coronavirus stimulus checks. They suspect the IRS is delaying payment
WASHINGTON – Kimberly Dyer was counting on her $1,700 stimulus check to help pay her bills after her work hours were reduced and her salary was cut in half because of the coronavirus pandemic.
But the check hasn’t arrived, even though the Internal Revenue Service’s “Get My Payment” tracking app says she’s eligible.
Neither has the $5,129 tax refund she is owed. The IRS has notified her that her 2019 tax returns are under review.
Dyer, a single mother and a social worker, suspects the two missing checks are connected. Hundreds of members of a Facebook group she created for people who haven’t gotten their stimulus check soon realized they had something else in common. They, too, have tax returns that are under audit or review.
“That’s what made us realize this is why we haven’t gotten our stimulus check yet,” said Dyer of Spring Hill, Tenn.
More than 130 million people have received stimulus checks totaling more than $200 billion since the government started distributing the payments under the CARES Act, a new federal law designed to reinvigorate the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic, the IRS said last week. More than 150 million payments will eventually be sent out, the agency said.
People who are eligible for a stimulus check are supposed to receive the money even if they owe back taxes. The IRS says on its website that stimulus payments won’t be reduced or offset because the recipient owes federal or state debts, except in cases involving past-due child support. The website doesn’t say, however, whether stimulus checks will be delayed until issues with a recipient’s taxes have been resolved.
The Treasury Department, which is overseeing the distribution of the checks, did not respond to multiple requests for comment on whether the IRS is delaying some checks because of unresolved issues with a recipient’s past tax returns.
While there have been numerous reports of glitches preventing some recipients from receiving a stimulus check, tax experts said they have not heard of checks being delayed because of an issue with a recipient’s past tax returns.
