2021 COVID Stimulus Payments

We can start filing now, and returns are coming in. The IRS is extremely shaky already. If a return can slide through the automated system, and any payment or refund handled electronically, it should be fine. The least little thing to derail it may derail it for months.

We have to reconcile the third COVID Stimulus Payment on the 2021 return. If we don’t get it right, the return is derailed. So. . . please check your records, your bank accounts, etc. to see how much you received in that third COVID payment and when you received it. It was most likely March or April, perhaps later. The amount should have been $1400 per person included as either Taxpayer or Dependent on the return.
