forcebwithu Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 That's your Economic Impact Payment. Everyone that met the following criteria received up to a maximum of $1,200. If you're a single US resident and have an adjusted gross income less than $99,000 If you file as the head of a household and earn under $146,500 If you file jointly without children and earn less than $198,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Received 10,000 HKD (1300 usd / 40 k Thb) in July from HKG government, being a permanent HKG resident. It paid half of my son's 1st semester UNI fee. Or other way to look at it, it paid 2x mys cost to apply for HKG P.R. a few years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalEden Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 For Single Filers the max adjusted gross income is $75,000. The amount of the rebate depends on family size. The payment is $1,200 for each adult individual ($2,400 for joint filers), and $500 per qualifying child under 17 years old. Rebates are reduced by $5 for every $100 of income to the extent a taxpayer’s income exceeds $150,000 for joint filers, $112,500 for a head of household filer, and $75,000 for single filers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So expect next tax filing season you'll have to give the extra payment back at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaksey Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Governments went a bit loopy didn't they 🥴 I read today that in the UK, £3.5 billion of Covid Furlough Scheme payments were lost to fraud. Yet I had to step in and hold up friends businesses when the government would not. Crazy times for sure man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code_slayer_bkk Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 ^^^^^^^ Bro ... I think all governments have suffered the same fate with fraud ...
