The rules changed with a second check, but what about a third payment?
Angela Lang / CNET
Much focus is on a third stimulus check of up to $ 1,400 per person while we wait for the final approval of the $ 1.9 trillion stimulus packagethat might arrive already at the end of the month. Everything can change until a new invoice is approved, including whether your Stimulus payment could be garnished for overdue alimony payments. There are also two loopholes in the law – one that could help you and one that could violate you – and changes to it dependent status that could make more money for families if approved.
As for that first and second examIf you’re one of those parents who never got incentive money, you might be able to get it when filing your taxes this year. We’ll explain more below. Also note that there is a major change in the Admission rules for the third stimulus test would qualify more people, including Relatives of all ages.
How could you and your child’s other parent get an incentive payment for the same child, and what if you didn’t get as much of the first two checks as you should think? We’ll explain. This story has been updated with new information.
What will the child support situation be like with a third stimulus payment?
We won’t get a response until a final bill is approved, but the latest stimulus package proposal specifically deals with child support, at least in terms of attachment. As with the second stimulus payment, the conditions for a apply third stimulus check could possibly look like this:
Prepayments are generally not subject to administrative compensation for overdue federal or state debt, including compensation for overdue child support payments.
This means that people who owe child support could continue to receive their full stimulus payment if the terms were included in the law – but possibly only in the case of prepayments, ie a stimulus test. direct deposit or EIP card sent automatically by the IRS. An example of something that is not a prepayment would be a lack of money request as part of a Recovery Discount Credit. The final billing language is expected to be more detailed.

How a proposed change in dependent status might affect the third stimulus payment
The third stimulus check could do Relatives of all ages count to the family total, e.g. $ 1,400 each. For families with children who are 17 years old (or 18 years old but live at home and still in high school, depending on your local regulations), welcoming loved ones of all ages can be beneficial, including those that are in child maintenance scenarios.
How other skill adjustments might affect your stimulus exam
Ultimately, your situation could change, including your eligibility, by the third approval. There is talk of doing that next stimulus payment “targeted” with the bottom line is Overall, fewer people are qualifying. The latest proposal puts a harsh income cap so you wouldn’t do this if you were earning above a certain amount – say, $ 150,000 as a head of household Entitled to Stimulus Check Money in the third round, even if you have several dependents. When filing your taxes could also play an important role in whether or not you receive a payment.
How can both parents get incentive money for a child they have joint custody of?
Many parents who are not married and share joint custody of their children actually received two payments for the same child in the first round of stimulus testing if they took those children on their taxes year after year, alternately.
If one parent claimed a child in even years and the other in odd years, both could have received checks for the same child. This is because the IRS examined two different tax years – 2018 and 2019 – to determine eligibility for the first audit.
On the second stimulus review, the IRS only reviewed the 2019 tax returns. However, this does not mean that the double immersion completely closed the gap. If you are a parent in a joint custody scenario like the one above and you typically have a dependent child in odd tax years, you may be able to receive a double child-related payment of $ 600 Tax credit on filing and claim the child on your 2019 tax return, much like you would if you didn’t get a second stimulus check even though you are entitled to one.
The second stimulus payment blocks the attachment of overdue child support payments, but the IRS may still be able to reroute your check
not as CARES Actwhat made it legal for states garnish the first stimulus check For those who owed more than $ 150 in arrears, a rule for the second check is that parents can keep the entire payment even if they owe child support. In fact, the latest bill bans the seizure of stimulus payments that the IRS sent out by Jan. 15 on most types of debt, including from private creditors and banks.
However, if you have not yet received full or partial payment from the IRS and you intend to do so Claim it when filing your taxes This year, the IRS can reroute that payment to cover overdue child child support payments, unpaid student loans, and other federal and state liabilities. The IRS said it is aware of the loophole and is “looking into this issue”.
For this reason too, changing the garnishment rules is a big deal
If the first stimulus tests were garnished In order to provide overdue child support payments, spelling mistakes sometimes also used stimulus money allocated to a (new) spouse who was not the other parent of the child. Stopping all seizures of stimulus check funds means these individuals will not have to reclaim their full second stimulus check funds from the IRS. Here is how they will be have to claim garnished money incorrectly from their first payment.
