Question

Does anyone know, If I owe back taxes will I still recieve my stimulus check?

Answer 1

You will not receive your stimulus check if you owe back taxes. The check will be applied to that debt. If there is anything left over you'll receive that amount.

Answer 2

no, apparently now the stimulus checks can be used toward paying down funds owed to the government, such as back taxes.  they'll send you a letter telling you that the money was applied and how much you then owed.

Answer 3

They deducted what I owed in back taxes immediately before I recieved confirmation thats what they did

Answer 4

Your rebate will go to your back taxes first.  According to the IRS:

Q. I'm eligible for a payment but I still owe federal income tax from a prior year. Will my payment be reduced?

A. Yes. For this purpose, the stimulus payment is treated like any other tax refund. This means that part or all of your payment can be used to pay past-due federal or state income taxes or non-tax federal debt such as student loans and child support. If this occurs, you will receive a letter explaining how the stimulus payment was applied.

Answer 5

You will if there is anything left over after the back taxes are paid.

If you owe more than the rebate, the entire rebate will be put towards the back taxes.

Answer 6

The stimulus check will be taken toward your back taxes.  If there's anything left over, they'll send it to you.
