Verify initial payment

here on the verify team we know that there are a lot of questions about stimulus checks in just the last three days we've received more than 500 emails with questions and we're committed to getting you the facts first here's a quick recap the checks go to people with a qualifying income six hundred dollars for individuals and twelve hundred dollars for couples plus six hundred dollars for each dependent under seventeen and a lot of the confusion that we're hearing is about checks that are smaller than people expected or checks that haven't arrived at all take this email from jeanette quote i got the 1200 but did not get the 1200 for my kids and we heard the same thing from dozens of others so let's verify what should you do if you haven't received your check or it's less than expected our sources are henry grez from the american institute of cpas the irs and the text of the bill itself let's start with an important date january 15th that's the cut-off date established by congress for when all checks must be sent this time around so what should you do if that date comes and goes and you still haven't been paid well here's what our accounting expert had to say about that the only way to obtain that both first and second round if you haven't gotten it yet is to claim it on your 2020 income tax return the irs agreed writing quote eligible individuals who did not receive an economic impact this year either the first or the second payment will be able to claim it when they file their 2020 taxes in 2021. more specifically you'll need to turn to tax form 1040 by filling out the line labeled recovery rebate credit it's on the form itself i believe it's line 30. and this is for people who got less than they think they deserve as well for example if you have a qualifying dependent meaning they're younger than 17 but you didn't get paid for them you could enter that number on the form and this includes new parents as well if you had a baby in 2020 it wouldn't show up in your 2019 taxes but you'll be able to get that money back come tax time you'll be able to get it but in order to do so you're going to reflect that child on your 2020 tax return reporting here at the capitol this is evan kosloff with your verified [Music] you
