I still haven't gotten my stimulus payment?

Question

I checked on IRS.gov and it FINALLY says it is on its way... however me and my husband filed joint with 1 qualifying child... so as far as I am aware I should bet 1200 for married and 300 for kid so total 1500. I put in my social to check the payment schedule it says I am getting 600 for individual and 300 for child... i check my husbands soc it says the same thing... so does that mean we are getting 600x2 and 300x2 for a total of 1800 or will we end up only getting 900 (since we filed together?) both cases are the wrong amount as far as I am aware so can someone explain or give me details and suggestions on what to do if it is wrong.. thanks!

Answer 1

You should check the Primary SSN (SSN listed first on the tax return usually the husbands ssn.)

Sounds like you should qualify for $1500.  Did you use the Stimulus calculator using your husband SSN (if he is primary on the return)?

Answer 2

Married couples can get UP TO $1200.  If you have little or no Tax Liability, then your stimulus amount will be reduced. Your household will get $900 as the IRS site says. Your payment amount means they are giving you $300 per household member.  If you have your tax return handy you can double check using the calculator on IRS.gov.
