So what are you going to do with your stimulus check?

[Rem700..300]

Depending on how much. My wife wants this if it is still there:

The rest going to both kids tution.

 

[Devneck]

75-99k for individuals
150-198k for couples

$1200 per adult in the pay range. $500 for each child under 17

Sister in law laid off, boss told her not likely to reopen. I will send her what we get.

We are retired and have plenty of play money for us so will most likely give it to friends in need. We feel that it's a real blessing to be in a position where we can do that.

 

[revjen45]

Being retired I have no idea if or how much we might get.
Like any $ in the incoming category it will go into the general fund.

 

[CLT65]

Use it for a house payment or groceries....

Absolutely. I'm not sure at this point whether we'd end up needing whatever we might get, but if we don't, I'd find someone else in real need before I'd buy another gun. I think there's going to be a whole lot of folks really hurting before this is all over.

(That's just me, btw. No judgement intended towards anyone else who might decide to buy a new purchase instead.)

No check for me, and I'm more than fine with that since the idea of receiving any kind of stimulus from someone that calls themself Uncle Sam seems more than a bit creepy.

That reminds me. I need BALCS cut XL soft armor for my Eagle Land-CIRAS vest. Right now it has the BALCS shaped cut up diamond tread antifatigue rubber mats in it that came with it hard plates a different matter... I think they're XL SAPI size.. or 11.5"×13.5"? Been trolling Ebay and other sites for affordable options on the BALCS cut armor.. seems expired/heavily used are whats somewhat affordable at $150-200 ish

So if you are married do both spouses have to have filed a 2018 tax return or either one?

 

[The Heretic]

Put it in the checking account and hope it doesn't bounce.

I got laid off today

I think it depends. It definitely has the phrase "filing jointly" though. But it may not matter if both filed separately?

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

We were planing to buy a new car this spring anyway, so it will go towards the down-payment.

I got laid off today

Hang in there! All week I was being told by everyone in my industry that we were "essential" and now just found out starting tonight no more work for 2 weeks minimum! Would have been nice to know a little sooner than 3 hours before the cutoff.

 

[nehalemguy]

From what I read my stimulus check will be $000.00. Enjoy my tax dollars mf'ers

Bernie for the win!

-E-

 

[The Heretic]

Yup - the CEO was sending out multiple emails every day saying how essential the industry is - and it is - trucks used in transporting goods, keeping those trucks running, replacing worn out trucks with new ones - keeping supplies coming in - it is all essential.

But apparently I am not.

This is going to be a recession and a one time check of $1-2K, or even $10-20K, won't replace the income I got from working every day - not even close. I would much rather have a job. But I doubt I will find one anytime soon - not at my age, not in this market. Most employers will at best freeze their hiring, the ones that will be hiring, I can't do because of my age and health.

Oh well, stuff happens.

 

[wewaits]

We don't qualify as a couple and we file taxes jointly so there goes that

 

[xtratoy]

If it like most bonus checks, it will be taxed at 30%. So out of $1200 you may get $840. That's not even a case 115 gr 9mm ammo at Sportsmans Guide .com.

I think it is tax free - at least on your personal taxes. Everybody will pay for it sooner or later as it will be part of the federal gov debt - but it shouldn't be something you have to declare. I think they are treating it like a tax rebate.

 

[clearconscience]

I should supposedly get back $3400
But it will go into savings since I'm temp out of work, and if things go from bad to worse I may be completely out of work
