Stimulus Hit Account

Website problem earlier so just rechecked.
$910.15 through IRS.
The calculator on WaPo showed we would get $900, so it was a good estimate.
Surprised we got it so soon. I thought I read they were going to prioritize from low income to high.
Apparently they changed their mind or I read that wrong.

I typed in the adjusted gross income as asked and then struggled to know what to do since we owed no taxes and had no refund owed (we used to get a refund before Trump). It was a big fat zero and there was no way to put that in except to check the refund option and then write zero in the line that asked for amount of refund. I got an error message and to try later.
Joint filer here.
Oh well. I worry because we moved four years ago and it will probably get messed up.

On the WaPo calculator, all I needed was gross income. Since I had only done taxes about a month before I remembered the UGI to within a couple hundred.
Worked well for me.
Not sure why it failed for you.

Is that what you used?
I had the questions page to fill out and submit to see if there was a check coming. I used our filed tax information as asked.

Good day for me. I don't make a lot of money from my job, so I got the full $1,200

Direct-deposit is handy.

I've heard that the self-employed even though they paid taxes and had direct deposit are getting status cannot be determined at this time

Maybe the self-employed are in a different internal grouping in IRS-land.

I also don't make very much money total per year (though I just got a newer, nicer job, though the new job didn't have a huge amount of influence on what my tax return looked like.)
