My stimulus payment was 900. is this amount correct?

Question

i thought i would be getting 1200 total, 600 for myself as well as 600 for my two kids. however i only received 300 for myself. is this correct?

Answer 1

Probably so.  The amount for yourself is $300 UP TO $600, not necessarily $600.  If your tax liability was $300 or less, then $300 for yourself is correct.

Your net income tax liability is one of the following depending on which form you filed:

· On Form 1040, the amount shown on Line 57 plus the amount on Line 52;

· On Form 1040A, the amount shown on Line 35 plus the amount on Line 32; or

· On Form 1040EZ, the amount on Line 10.
