Anyone else not get their refund check yet? I turbo taxed my returns on April 2. I am owed over

a thousand dollars. A month and an half later, I have not received my money. I thought the IRS had rules about that, having to get the refund to us by a certain time. Anyone else?

I will tell you another very harmful product coming from Trump Administration from all the lying.

And all the lying from too many Republicans and Govs in red state. And the CDC for crying out loud. And the doctors Trump puts on tv.

We cannot believe anything.

In a time of crisis, it is CRITICAL to be able to believe what we are being told.

Three months in, reflecting on video'd quotes and statements from the past, we know they lie. All the fuckin' time. And not a single one of us can believe anything we are being told.

This is another very important reason the strong majority of people are still sitting in our homes, and questioning going back to work. We have had a lot of time doing nothing, while studying, researching, being educated about C19. Trump is now dealing with an highly educated public. That never serves Republicans well. The majority of us, for a fact. I mean, his believers is getting smaller and smaller and Republicans are seeing it in Texas, Georgia and Az. And more clear to all of us their motive as they wear masks to hold up signs protest saying HOAX, while carrying guns, and barbie dolls lynched, while threatening death to the liberals, lol.

It is crazy that Trump and Republicans have been allowed to have created this atmosphere. And none of us are going to budge. Because we cannot believe anything being said.

It really is an incredible time to be living.

I had to have a conversation today with my son. I am 60, a life long smoker. State is opening up.

I work in customer service. An hotel that has 50-100 people checking in and an 8 hour shift five days a week. People from Washington and Calif, China and Asia, and Europe that stays with us because we are center in tourist attraction. We have a two by two Plexiglas on a 7 foot counter that we hope the customers use to contain germs. No ventilation, no windows. I was talking to a fellow liberal about them telling me I had to go back to work and her comment was, ... It would have to be safe for them to insist you come back to work.

My Governors has opened the state, phase one. But they did stipulation that people in vulnerable position should be protected.

I was talking to a person I have been friend with for decades telling her of the possibility of going back to work in this environment. She is a liberal, on our side yet she said to me, ... The work environment has to be safe to the employee if they are asking you to come back, assuming. That is naive in my opinion that people believe that conditions are in place to protect the workers.

How do you all feel about it? I live alone and even if I just get a 14 days, to a month of pain and illness, I am by myself. I have no one to help me, and I have no desire to experience what I am seeing people experience getting this virus. I have a dog I am concerned about if hospital, a month of illness that comes and goes with fever and if I will end up dead in the morning. Not to mention hospital bills that will break me.

Let me hear what you have to say, or what you feel please. My son says to say no.

Oregon continue state of emergency to July 6. I like, yea us.

https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/05/gov-kate-brown-extends-oregon-coronavirus-state-of-emergency-to-july-6.html?fbclid=IwAR0jb-6srDXmU8tFK042CfpIPnhHWVjSABzlz_rYq1kPNfqHQEbyKCV3KKo


Gov. Kate Brown signed an executive order Friday extending Oregon’s state of emergency to July 6 in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The move comes roughly two months after the original declaration was signed March 8. It was set to expire May 7.

The new executive order gives the governor the legal authority to maintain the orders she’s issued thus far — including the stay-home order, a moratorium on residential and commercial evictions and other financial stimulus measures — and issue new ones as she sees fit, said Charles Boyle, a spokesman for the governor’s office.

Stimulus check. I do that program to check, it says, my information does not match what they have.

Has anyone had that comment? I put the infor in and says nope, not matching their information. Now, I moved since 2018. I do not have the same bank from 2018. I do file 2019 taxes with new information. I hear they stopped doing taxes to work on stimulus. My taxes were sent in on April 2 with Trubo and was my address, not my bank info.

Anything from anyone?

Who would I get a hold of with this? IRS does not have a telephone number.

Thanks for your help.

I was laid off/rehire March 14. I tried unemployment two weeks ago, filed a claim online.

I have never done this and the computer is hard. It said it was successful and gave me a confirmation number. Then I heard nothing. I did the one week claim thing the other day. I still have not heard anything. I did it like 4/2 for the week prior.

Today I went in to see if I could figure what was up and it said it is showing that I did the week claim, but could not find original claim.

Again, I have heard nothing.

Today and 180 calls later, the phone was busy and never did pick up.

I guess tomorrow I have to go to unemployment office. I fall under vulnerable with covid 19.

Anything anyone can share? I called the 877 number provided.
