Dependents. If you’re claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return, you won’t receive a stimulus check. That means no payments to children living at home who are 17 or 18 years old, or to college students who are 23 or younger at the end of the year who don’t pay at least half of their own expenses.

What happens if your stimulus check does not show up?

Use the IRS Get My Payment tool to track stimulus money If the Get My Payment tool doesn’t give you information you can understand or says your check is on the way and you haven’t received it, you may need to eventually request a payment trace or file for a recovery rebate credit.

Is there going to be another stimulus check?

Whether we get another stimulus check in 2021 depends on how much momentum the proposals for more checks gain. There are still some people who’ve not yet received the third stimulus check, but we’ve got a handy guide for what to do if you’re missing your stimulus check payment.

Can a 17 year old get a stimulus check?

Older children are excluded because the bill relies on a tax-code definition of “child” that states a “qualifying child has not attained age 17.” In other words, many high school juniors and seniors and their families won’t receive a $500 check from the stimulus bill.

Who is not eligible for the Stimulus money?

Estates and trusts are also excluded from receiving the stimulus payments. High-income households above a certain threshold also receive payments because the bill is aimed at getting money into the hands of low- and moderate-income families.

What was the amount of the first stimulus check?

For reference, the first stimulus check amounted to as much as $1,200, while the second stimulus check brought $600 to eligible Americans. The third stimulus check, which the IRS is still in the process of distributing, is worth up to $1,400 per person, although the eligibility requirements are narrower.
