Re: I Had To Chuckle Sending Check To IRS.

I'm sorry to hear any people who are not entitled to money under the stimulus act got money -  whether it's the heir of a decresed or a huge corporation already floating in cash.

 

But I'm pleased the IRS is trying to claw back that money because the nation has millions of citizens already on food lines.  As one of those paying, that's where I want my money to go -  even during WWII rationing, I don't remember we went hungry.

We just got back from mailing the check for my MIL.. I saw that word immediately and thought, BS, LOL ...  the IRS giveth and boy oh boy it wants their money back fast... hahahaha

 

It was really easy process on the website someone posted yesterday and thanks for that!

 

When the money was direct deposited we donated it all to our local food bank, Emcompass Ministries (Papa's Pantry) so it was a good thing all around..

Originally, yes, but the IRS had a change of heart yesterday.

Funny, I saw on the IRS site, it says Do NOT call the IRS about this.

A10. No. A Payment made to someone who died before receipt of the Payment should be returned to the IRS by following the instructions in the Q&A about repayments. Return the entire Payment unless the Payment was made to joint filers and one spouse had not died before receipt of the Payment, in which case, you only need to return the portion of the Payment made on account of the decedent. This amount will be $1,200 unless adjusted gross income exceeded $150,000. 

 

Notice the question says added May 6th (yesterday for those who've stopped paying attention to what day it is. jk Smiley Very Happy) From what I'm reading in this thread it must have changed. I'll include a link :

Thank you @SusieQ_2 for the website.  That's exactly where I got all the information for sending MIL's back.  Was really easy to do.
