Second Stimulus

[SHolm6605]

So from what I’ve been reading I will not receive a second stimulus check. I was eligible for the first but is was garnished for back child support. According to the IRS I will have to file for the Recovery Rebate Credit for the upcoming tax season. Since my tax returns are garnished for child support it seems I will not receive the badly needed funds and it seems it is a way to garnish the second stimulus check for child support

Greetings New User - ,

You’ve come to an Intuit site supporting tax professionals, and you may be looking for support as an individual taxpayer. Please visit the TurboTax Help site for support of the not so professional .

Have a wonderful day!

Also remember that the child support requirement will be there FOREVER, if it is paid by EIP, it is paid.

Well, it turns out that legally, you are supposed to financially support Children; imagine that.

You seem to be lost on the internet. The info here is for using specific Income Tax Preparation programs.

Thanks but I have also tried the turbo tax 'help' section.  What's majorly disappointing is I know in years past ..I have paid for privileged help.. auditing or whatever insurance or ensurance turbo promoted to me.. meaning I was able to get a real live individual to respond faster than had I not paid for extra protective or inquiry services..and I utilized that privilege and have been successful reaching somebody at Turbo.. 

Now however, ?  I am prevented by what I can only accurately describe  ... 'gatekeeping' &

for response to your suggestion to go to the get my payment irs link, ...we only get redirected to the irs website. which shows last years information and this year's stimulus status as unavilable !!!

that they're working on it.. really?

i haven't seen any progression for over a week.

It was  and is as if Turbo Tax just feels fine while pushing off the responsibility or glitch that delays the necessary means of money needed to people such as myself over to the IRS.. who,  by the way,  has only the account number for which to send anything monetary for actual long needed assistance and help to this taxpayer.. only showing an account funding recipient numeric belonging only to TURBOTAX !!!!..

I get re-directed over to a turbo tax created account number provided information from the IRS.

freaked me out initially.. then after extensive research start seeing information about how

H&R Block and TURBOTAX have the actual 'interference'

with people needing the stimulus!

I understand &.  I get that TURBO TAX had to have control on payment from

tax refunds so they easily implemented the avenue with setting up an IRS account

using my SS number and tax information.

TURBO is automated in response citing admission on helping us get paid

funds needed by working with the IRS>

well, TURBO ?? you arent working too fast in my opinion.

I am appalled and disgusted

that I hear of people getting stimulus shortly after you send your

admittance email that you are working with the IRS.

I must be low woman on your totem pole!!!

I did pay for extra protection both my last two filing years!

i hope to GOD you can for just 30 seconds even ..

put yourself in my shoes!!! 55, two teens, part time

lost the other part time job and made 8K last year

with both those part time jobs urgency !!

O MY GOD !!!!

what is wrong with this picture ?

TURBO when I started seeking my stimulus .. long awaited

help from our country goverment, i had no idea that you were

the caviot to this goal oriented help so needed!

to just blow me off and tell me i can check the irs webpage

takes balls!  doesnt it ?

you're working with them?

really?

I think you are stalling and earning interesst

while you get my stimulus money

and/or you hold on to the funds

and make me wait to file a recovery

credit..

AGAIN!!! what is wrong with this picture ?

those most in need .. NEED IT !!!!!

sorry for my frustration .. prayers are great and appreciated

empathy too.. but results walk the walk ..

I need help.  I think you get that.

@LadyLee1965  You may not realize but this is not Intuit Support.  This is an Intuit-owned Community but one that's only for professional tax accountants to provide peer-to-peer support.

We are all volunteers unrelated to Intuit and not compensated by Intuit in any way.  If you paid Intuit but are not getting the support you expected, we are, unfortunately, not able to help.  Our responsibility is with our paid clients and they are supported privately outside of this public forum.

You would be well advised to not trust what strangers tell you on the internet and should consult your own sources or accountant.

The same thing applies to you; you are harassing and chiding professional tax preparers who are on this forum because it is for using Lacerte and ProSeries and ProConnect to prepare taxes for their clients. The people here are at work and trying to earn a living.

@LadyLee1965 Stop wasting money on TurboTax and the pricey insurance they offer. Look up FREE tax prep in your area provided by volunteers working with IRS. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/find-a-location-for-free-tax-prep

Using TurboTax is like getting a city bus: you pay, but it is open to everyone to ride it for themselves.

Coming to this peer community professional tax preparer forum is like attempting to hijack any car that just happened to be stopped for the red light at the corner.

Complaining here is like complaining to that car driver, that you cannot afford to buy their car right now, so they need to take you wherever you want to go for free and right now, and No, you are not interested in waiting for the bus, even if right now, the bus is Free to ride.
