Go go along with the whole thing until the end.

STOP.

Do not submit it via efile.

If you do it takes you to file for the state, etc. etc.

Easiest thing to do is this:

Print it out, sign and date it (either single or joint) and mail it to your IRS. Keep a copy of the signed form for yourself as proof that you filed.

Google your location to find out where to mail it to as far as the IRS goes.

If you file and are on SS you'll get the $1200.00 or $2400.00 this way!

It does not long if you have the basic information they want.

Someone posted a link to the IRS Coronavirus site. You need to post a simple form that they have yet to come up with.

Thankful I did. Hope I don't need to repeat or something.

I don't file as I am only on SS and don't make enough to do so.

They want us to jump through a few more hoops. It is not like they don't know we exist as I get my monthly check, direct deposit from SS.

...but it was a relief to get it over and done with. I don't care, but it looks like we may be among the first to get the direct deposit.

I spoke to my wife yesterday, told her that I want to give most of it to our local food bank. I expected resistance (she can be a tightwad!!!) and was so happy that she agreed.

To anyone who can afford it, look into it for bona fide organizations, but please give to feed the poor. In our area $100 feeds a person for several months. To me, feeding the poor is one of the most important things we can do these days.

we receive monthly SS checks now.

I should think that would be sufficient to receive these checks

None of us needs this shit right now. Just one more hoop to jump. Let's make it as hard as we can to make people suffer the most.

I have been in tears all day. I am so worried about my niece on the front lines without the PPE she needs to protect herself...and her family.

Thanks Cha.

of Health and StayingSafe for your niece and all those literally fighting on the front lines for all of us.. with that hideous monster in charge.

Looks like we are going to be okay. No forms. This has been a nightmare. They have no clue what they are doing. Our lives are a ping pong match to them.

and ETA on my post #14.

I'm really grateful for this.. I'll take his damn blood money and tell him to FO!

Mahalo, she! I got this news bc of your OP.

He can FO along with his team. I hope they all rot in hell.

I am relieved. The money will help and I plan to donate some to the food pantry my mom worked at for years.

PS...My moms friend, her daughter had a box of masks at home that she used for her work. She gave them to her mom to give to my niece, they ran out. I love these people.

having a box of masks to give to your niece, she!

The admin? Just lie cheat and steal as people die.

with my daughter and her husband. They are both self employed but they have no payroll. He has a gym with subscriptions and she is a tattoo artist. They also have an 8 month old daughter. I am hoping they do no have to go through a bunch of flaming hoops to get this $$ they so badly need.

Neither one of them can work now; it's a nightmare. At least they are in his parents' house so they do not have living expenses.

It is like following a ping pong match. I am tired and I am have a hard time coping these days.

Once again, I thank you.

I just saw that, jojog.

Tired of them flip flopping all over the pier with a hook in their mouths.

Believe it or not they won't F us. We will see it without filing!!!!

IRS website said that the form would be out soon...and the message DO NOT CALL US.

I have been freaking out as well. Hopefully they saw the error of their ways.

I'm shocked it has already been processed and direct-deposited.

However, we got $2232, which is $168 less than the $2400 they're touting.

EDIT: I mistook my usual monthly Social Security direct deposit for the $2400 we'll be getting. Sorry!

Lol....Munchkin needs his cut.

I will check mine.

Thank you, George.

Also payments do not start until April 17th.

You are mistaking that payment you received for the stimulus cheque.

....monthly Social Security deposit!

Thanks for catching that.

I usually am not that much of a drinker
