Get your stimulus check payment

[MartyFine]

Correct. This is all based on 2018 returns because not everyone has filed 2019. They aren't going to use 2018 for some and 2019 for some. They're using 2018 for everyone.

That's not what this indicates...

Click the link I provided in the first post of this thread and then click the "get my payment" button at the top of the page. This will check the status and let you know if you need to enter additional info.

I just get the "cannot determine your eligibilty status" and that's it. I didn't see an option to input more information.

Same, I'm really pissed off. We e-file every year, there's absolutely no reason to not be able to determine our eligibility, unless they're doing something like not allowing payments to certain states yet. What a joke.

Got mine this morning. Thanks HOH status for helping me qualify!

They've moved me to the too many attempts to access in 24 hours grouping, which is doing great things for my anger towards this.

They used 2019 for me

 

[LarryISU]

That is contrary to what all the guidance I have been reading is saying. The Guidance I have been getting all along is it will use your 2019 info if you've filed and if you haven't then it will use 2018 info.

I agree with your assessment. I filed in 2018, but not yet for 2019 since I always owe money. That seemingly puts me in the category of "we are unable to determine your eligibility." No one on here seems to be able to explain how to help the IRS determine eligibility. Plus, there is nowhere on the Get My Payment website where they give you an option to find out what they need to know to determine your eligibility.

"Government website" I think explains why this isn't working.

 

[Skyh13]

Well, clearly something is ****** up on the site and some of us are just lucky.

I also haven't filed my 2019 but was under the impression they'd just use the 2018?

What a mess.

 

[LarryISU]

Those of you saying you are adding your bank account info, are you using the Get My Payment app (as opposed to the website)?

Thank you. My wife is freaking out about this for some reason, I tried assuring her everyone is probably getting this, she was just concerned with the eligibility term used.

I'm hoping they use our 2018.

They also announced that payment would go in reverse income methods. Meaning those who make nothing get it before those who make a million.

Here’s the timetable for the first mailed checks, per IRS documents seen by the Post:

• Taxpayers with income up to $10,000: April 24
  
  
• Taxpayers with income up to $20,000: May 1
  
  
• Taxpayers with income up to $40,000: May 15
  

The rest of the checks will be issued by gradually increasing income increments each week. Households earning $198,000 who file jointly will get their reduced checks on Sept. 4. The last group of checks will be sent on Sept. 11 to those who didn’t have tax information on file and had to apply for checks, according to the Washington Post.

Is there a correlation between not having filed for 2019 and getting this message? I think I know a few people who have not filed for 2019 and still got their money.

I even entered my 2018 info as instructed (after attempting 2019), but that doesn't work either...

So my question remains how do you get your bank information to them to avoid that? I think we'd clearly qualify, but we never get a refund. It would seem it should be as simple as just providing them our bank info.

 

[Clonefan32]

I'm going to just chose to believe they are keeping my check and I can just call it good on my 2019 taxes.

"Cannot determine your eligibility"

I e-file every year so there's no reason for this. Guess we're never getting ours.

Same thing here. I typically pay in each year so it sounds like that is complicating things?

That seems to be the common theme. Which is fine-- I suppose they don't have my direct deposit information. What was troublesome is the "cannot determine your eligibility" language, which would seem to indicate they don't have the information they need to determine if you are entitled to a refund, which should not be the case.
