  • stimulus payment question

    So I know many people have received a stimulus payment and I don't think we qualify but we have had conflicting information even the irs website doesn't make sense, it says that we don't qualify as I have an itin number and we filed jointly although they haven't processed the new itin paperwork or our taxes for this year (he pays federal taxes)...but they also say that because he gets SS that he should get it...we are not expecting any money at all but since hubby has both how do we find out or can anyone tell us what if anything we should be doing or do we just not bother with it...if they do send a check then it will go to our old address and since they haven't processed any of our tax papers yet (if they have them) it means they haven't changed our address...and we don't want money we aren't entitled to either...any thought??

    If I recall, you're Australian and your husband is American? He probably qualifies himself, but you don't. Just guessing though...

        Saw this article just now, Mumof2. It says that US citizens married to non-US citizens have been excluded from stimulus payments. Further, it says that a lawsuit has been filed over this and is gathering attention from some members of Congress.

                If you paid taxes for year 2019, I think you qualify.

                If you do in fact qualify, and do not receive the payment, I think you can claim it next year when you file for 2020.
