To some single people. Now asking people to return.

1. So, do they not know who they sent them to?

2. Just says some single people with no children.

3. I saw that. But are their systems so bad that

They don’t know who got them and are asking people to return them if they got one? Seems weird that they have to publicly ask people to return them.

4. Oh that's just great.

I haven't received my $1400 yet. The 'get my payment' website has been saying this since February:

Quote: You are eligible for the payment. Once we have your payment date, we will update this page.

We will deposit your payment to the bank account below.

Bank Account Number: ************

Updates to your payment are made no more than once a day. We will mail you a letter with additional information on this payment.
Unquote.

I never got the $600 either. I claimed that on my tax return back in February. Then they changed the tax due laws on unemployment benefits, so my tax return was wrong as filed, so they're going to refigure it for me and I don't have to file an amended return. Instead of owing $60, I'm now due a refund. God knows when I'll see any of that money.

6. You're right, maybe I should call them

I'll do it Monday. I'll have time then to sit on hold for half a day.

8. Lol. Wonder if those law firms that advertise that

They can get your IRS debt down do the opposite for people.

May have invented a new business... Be on hold for people

9. When did you file? How long does it typically take? We

Never get refunds always pay

They say it should take 21 days. IRS is working every day now.
