Got My $600

I was surprised very early this morning when checking my bank accounts online that I had received my $600 from Uncle Sam. Didn't realize it would come so soon.

We got our $1200.00 the day after they signed the bill. I was shocked!

Ours is going towards property taxes.

Puzzling, as the IRS has the direct deposit information and the last stimulus payment was made by direct deposit, but I received an actual check in the mail yesterday, which I'll deposit tomorrow.

I have no idea why they sent a check.

@gidgetgh Could the paper check have anything to do with the date of DH's death? (I'm so sorry-I can't locate even the year in my memory-it feels so fresh to me.)

@millieshops - I don't know. He passed away in July but the bank account number we used for direct deposit didn't change. No biggie as it's no problem for me to go to the bank, it gives me something to do, but I just thought it was weird. And it was one check and made payable to me. So that was correct.

@deepwaterdotter

And the greater portion of mine just a while ago got sent back to Uncle Sam in the form of my estimated final tax payment for 2020 due on the 15th.

He giveth with one hand taketh away with the other. (or something like that)

I've got plans for a new laser cap for hair regrowth. I have been sick for so long, I haven't paid attention to my hair. I was shocked to see how thin it has gotten. I'm sure it will come back with some major help!

Amazing! Good to know.

I have mixed feelings about it. I definitely need it, but there are so many people worse off than I am. I may donate.

As long as we get it in circulation, right?

SharkE — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 23:54:01 GMT

probably be the last one. I'd keep it not much anyway.

I’m hopeful that many people will be generous with donations from their checks/deposits. I wish there had been a better system for those in greatest need to get more.

I like the way you think, @KaySD. If you can comfortably donate it, I'm sure that those in dire need would be much appreciative -- no matter that it is not a large amount.

I didn't. IRS doesn't know our bank account number. So no direct deposit. We got the debit card last time. I wanted to apply for direct deposit last time, but my husband refused. Saying the less the IRS knows, the better. If we get it at all, it'll be probably a lot later.
