With the changes to the cut off, I was wondering how many on ERA are getting or not getting the $1400 stimulus check? Please vote yes if you're getting above or below $1400. Thanks.

Which Tax Year Is Used To Determine Eligibility?


The IRS will use the most recent tax return on file (2019 or 2020 tax return).

If your income has fluctuated during the pandemic, consider whether you want to file your 2020 taxes now or wait until this bill passes to do so. For example, if your income in 2019 was too high to receive a stimulus payment up front, but your 2020 income decreased to a level that would make you eligible to receive a full or partial payment, it may benefit you to submit your tax return ASAP so your payment is based on that most recent tax return.

On the other hand, if you think your adjusted gross income (AGI) increased in 2020 beyond the point of eligibility for this stimulus payment but you would benefit from the financial relief, you may want to hold off on filing until after the payments are distributed. You won’t have to pay your stimulus check back to the government if you ended up making too much money in 2020 or 2021. (Just keep in mind that Tax Day is April 15, and the IRS has not announced that it will delay that deadline.)

In any case, it’s always important to file your tax return as soon as possible. Make certain to consider the pros and cons before deciding to delay your tax filing; you may want to consult a tax professional.

If you receive Social Security (either retirement or disability) but didn’t file a return in 2019 or 2020 (because you earn too little to be required to file), you’ll also receive a stimulus check, based on the information sent to the IRS on forms SSA-1099 and RRB-1099.

How Much Would Each Person Receive?
  • Up to $1,400 for qualifying individuals
  • $2,800 for qualifying couples who file a joint tax return
  • $1,400 for each dependent child under the age of 17
  • $1,400 for each qualifying adult dependent

If you’re a single filer, your payment is reduced if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is above $75,000. For married couples filing jointly, the phaseout begins at an AGI of $150,000. If you file as head of household, the reductions begin at $112,500 (if you are single, widowed or divorced and claim a child as a dependent, you probably have been filing as head of household.)

According to new information reported on March 3, these payments will phase out completely at the following income levels:
  • $80,000 AGI for single taxpayers
  • $160,000 AGI for married filing jointly taxpayers
  • $120,000 AGI for heads of household

Click to shrink...
Individuals earning $80,000 or more, married couples filing jointly earning $160,000 or more and heads of households earning $120,000 or more will not receive a stimulus payment. So far, there have not been any changes to adult dependents receiving the full $1,400 (if the taxpayer claiming them qualifies).

How Much Will Adult Dependents Receive?

Adult dependents, including college students and disabled adults, are slated to receive $1,400. But that amount could be reduced depending upon the adjusted gross income of the person claiming them on their taxes.

If you vote No, please answer these additional questions:

What's your filing status? Single, Head of Household, Married, Adult Dependent
Are you unemployed at the moment?
(Optional) How much over the cut off were you?

I certainly hope so, but I am definitely not counting my chickens before they hatch. No reason for me to be excluded.

Had no idea they were doing this. Voted no:

  • Single
  • Employed
  • A lot (If base salary: over by about 35k, if total yearly compensation: I'd be over the joint limit by myself)

Yes, but just found out the Dems have given in and are allowing the 400.00 a week unemployment benefits per week be dropped down to 300.00.

Yes, especially since my wife was let go early in covid. Filing jointly, I make over $80k, but combined we are under threshold (and would be if she had her previous job at ~$50k)

more than offset by the fact that over $10k of it is not taxed.

Shouldn't everyone who got the 600 get the 1400 because it's a continuation of that and 600 plus 1400 is 2000

And there the same thing and it's not 2 diffrent entities divided by 4 months along a linear timeline?

Yes. I was unemployed for two years until last November. I didn’t even get the first stim check bc we filled out our taxes before the disqualifications came out regarding adult dependents. I’m absolutely getting my stun check this time though, I’ll likely even get the additional $600 stimulus from the state (I’m in CA)

Not necessarily. If you filed early for 2020 and made more that year than the year before, your stimulus will be based on the greater 2020 amount.

I think not, but let me find something definite.

EDIT: I was wrong. No adult dependents can claim. Will update if someone corrects me.

EDIT2: I was wrong again. Adult dependents can claim.

Nope, single employed and over the mark. The last one I think I only got like $400? No qualms about it, just wish we could help people who are hurting bad with more than $1400.

Wait? Did I pass yet? I'm under the assumption I'm getting $0 until they make it official. Otherwise, I fit under the threshold.

Over the cutoff but I’m not upset about it. I live in an expensive area so I get paid competitively. I’d rather people below the cutoff get 2,000 instead of 1,400. Personally all I used my stimulus for from the last two checks was to pay off taxes to the government so there’s no difference to me.

If I was single no, but since my wife makes so much less than me, we're under the married cut-off.
