ARE WE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A STIM... - Page 2

If you got divorced and no longer live at the address on your tax return, or if you moved, the process is trickier. Normally, the IRS requires you to submit address changes by mail, however the IRS is not processing paper forms. If you received a paper check, you can notify the post office that services your old address so that it can forward the check (not all post offices forward government checks). Alternatively, you can try to provide direct deposit information using the IRS Get My Payment tool by May 13. Whether the IRS is able to successfully update your information before delivering the payment will depend on timing.

No. My parents are in their 70s and didn't get theirs. My dad called ITS who said because of an IRS error or computer glitch, he was identified as a dependent and no one at the IRS could override the error. He talked to 5 different IRS employees during a 4 Hour phone call and was told he wouldn't get any stimulus this year, but could file tax forms next year to try to claim it. H e reached out to his congressman for help this morning, but hasn't received any response. He said he'd call the senators office tomorrow. My dad has worked his whole life, my mom is mentally disabled. They shouldn't be going through this. I hope this hasn't happened to others.

We haven't received ours either. We do our own taxes...old school. Don't file electronically and they don't have our banking information. Told my DH to check the IRS site.

My son has not received his check either. He has our congresswoman working on it.

The latest email he received said it was referred to some department, I can't remember what it was called, in the IRS. An escalation department.

This has taken months.

Yes, I read about this. I'd look through the link posted above. If that doesn't resolve the issue, do it through next year's tax return.

My mother received a debit card in late May. I haven't received anything yet. I am lax in researching it. I need to get on it though.

I don't think everyone gets one. I didn't get one.

My daughter said my investments made too much money so I won't be getting one.

She takes care of keeping track of gathering up info for the accountants, so she'd know.

Doesn't bother me as long as it goes to the people who deserve it.

I don't think it has anything to do with income or assets that you have. @Annabellethecat66

I guess if you are a tax paying American citizen, you deserve it. Needing it is another thing altogether.

I mentioned that we hadn't received our check. He looked into it on his own. I am going to go to the site you recommended and do a little digging LOL. We filed an extension and when we get back up north we will be filing our taxes. If I don't have answers yet, I will have him help us out. Apparently there is a form you can file for this.

Thanks for the info. @Mz iMac

@tends2dogs Ours came in a debit card and I almost shredded it thinking that it was just another application for a credit card. You can go online and see about getting a replacement. If you still have your mail, you might want to check. You would never know that what was in that envelope was your stimulus.
