The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Forbes, but told the Washington Post that the checks “are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned—there is absolutely no delay whatsoever.”

Yet these "reports" are from unnamed sources...
Good grief.



If you were a lowly IT tech that has to program this change NOW would you be non-anonymous? My career was IT so I know how this stuff works.

The Post said the decision to include Trump's name was announced to the IRS information technology team on Tuesday.

"The team, working from home, is now racing to implement a programming change that two senior officials said will likely lead to a delay in issuing the first batch of paper checks," it said.

Who is still receiving checks? Shit, today everyone should be dealing electronically, and the small few who can't or wont will get it in due time.
Either way it is dumb if it is true, and I would take it with a grain of salt...


People who usually pay in to the IRS, rather than receiving a refund, have had no reason to give the IRS their routing info. Hence the IRS is mailing them checks.

Looks like the banks can seize the checks to pay off debt. Not sure how that is going to help anyone who is struggling. If true, total scum admin top to bottom.




Classic GOP. "Stimulate" the economy by giving money to banks, not people.

Or you can go to the web site they have and enter your banking information after verifying your identity. That is what I did as I have not received a refund from the IRS in many many years.

We got our Obama Bucks deposit late-ish Tuesday night. Early Wed. morning was unemployment deposit...two separate $600 deposits in addition to the normal weekly payment...the two were for this week's payment and making up for last week's. (Wife's still working...retires in Aug.)

Thanks, Obama. I needed a new computer.

All I can say is, I'm glad I retired a little earlier than my actual retirement date. It's given me the ability to completely shelter, except for getting out to get groceries. Having to deal with the dilemma of forced layoffs, all of this, is just incredible. I just hope people can hang in there. Me feelings about going into any type of Long Term Care not being an option, have been magnified by the slaughter that's going on in those places. Testing and contact tracing has to be #1 priority at this point, with a vaccine being the ultimate answer, maybe. What if the vaccines are only as effective as the current flu shots. It does give one the willies. It's like being in a jungle with ambush predators all around you, at least if you are my age.

Good luck with that, this administration doesn’t give a shit about any of that.

What all the death in the care homes highlight is the severe lack of regulation in that sector. I’m sure a clear picture will emerge that highlights who is for or against such regulation.

Imagine that. One more of the Negro's regulations that had to be removed by Trump.

I get it but, they already have it or have access to it if they wanted it. For example if someone owes $100k, and have not paid, and they receive their love letters from the IRS, while fighting them off over a couple years. Eventually they will pull any cash they can from your accounts if they see funds sitting in there.

I have my bank information setup to pay tax due electronically, and it applies for refunds if applicable as well.

Has anyone gotten their checks yet? I've tried the portal multiple times over the last few days and I get the same message. "We don't have anything on file" or "please try again." I don't even have the option to enter my routing number. Thus du KS because they have my routing numbe. I've owed money, and I owe money for the 2019 year as well. I guess I'll have to wait for the paper check which will take weeks.

My wife and I still are getting payment status not available. They have may 2018 tax returns. Filing my 2019 returns on July because we owe money.

So my antenna tells me, that this would not be a good time to think you good go to a somewhat empty grocery store.
