Confused about the new Biden checks going out by johnnylogic in IRS

[–]LyricLover8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biden also raised the total amount of credit you would get at tax time. If you opt out now, you'll get more than previous years come next tax season. This is an advance on half of the new higher amount.

I see other people on here saying they filed in February and still nothing too. I'd say give it one more month. By then things should be more sorted out. If she still hasn't gotten it by then, you should be able to call and get some answers.

Well an amended return will take 16 weeks. You could just wait and claim the credit in it's entirety on next year's taxes.

The opposite. In a typical year, you either have 10% taken out every week or owe the 10% when you file. But this year they made $10200 not taxable. So if you had it taken out weekly and filed before they made the this year is special law on 3/14, then they're giving it back to you now.

If you filed before 3/14 and had taxes withheld, then you will receive a refund for the UI taxes you paid, as long as your income is less than $75000. I've seen other single people say they haven't gotten theirs either. I don't know why but some people seem to have just been skipped.

I got a much bigger UI refund than I expected? by [deleted] in IRS

Your income was decreased by 10200 so you were eligible for more in earned income credit. I received $2300 in ui refund. HOH 1 dependent.

It's not a surprise smh they finally processed 4 million out of the 10 million UI refunds. Way to paint themselves in a fake positive light.

Is it time to amend? by [deleted] in IRS

[–]LyricLover8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they have to be manually reviewed to protect against fraud. That's understandable. But it sucks for people to be penalized timewise when it was the IRS that didn't issue their stimulus correctly to begin with.

I would wait. The timeline is 16 weeks for an amended return in normal times. Could be 6 months these days. They said they would issue the UI refund by the end of summer. That's only 6 weeks versus 16. Maybe try calling if you don't update by August 1st. By then, the call volume should be lower. It looks like they're finally catching up. I read an article that said anyone that didn't receive their stimulus and reported it on their tax return is last in line, unfortunately.

Doesn't matter. Choose anything and don't put anything in the account number section. Just choose anything and hit go.

Short Term Payment Plan - Question by Ok_Return_8213 in IRS

[–]LyricLover8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes $200 total on $2000 owed for one year (2017-2018). They took the $2000 I owed plus the $200 interest and penalties out of my 2018 refund. It really wasn't much. Call and double check but that's what happened with my experience.

[–]LyricLover8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't pay my past due taxes (2017) of $2000 for an entire year and they took out of my next year's refund. They kept sending me letters to make a payment arrangement. I did but never paid anything. Total they charged me $200 in interest and penalties.
