Second stimulus check could be 'very generous'.
Today's update on another IRS payment.

IRS has sent $6 billion in stimulus payments just in June. Here's how to track your money

Your stimulus check could be on its way, along with child tax credit money and unemployment tax refunds. We'll explain the state of the payments today.

Wow.
Whoever is left with this tab is not going to be happy.

Yeah. All of us taxpayers...... And you can bet they will put that as a new line on the tax form for 20. "Did you receive a stimulus check during the novel Corona virus pandemic? If so, you owe XX%...."

Uhhh, no.

"The short answer: No. In the somewhat longer words of the IRS: “No, the payment is not income and taxpayers will not owe tax on it. The payment will not reduce a taxpayer's refund or increase the amount they owe when they file their 2020 tax return next year. A payment also will not affect income for purposes of determining eligibility for federal government assistance or benefit programs."

It's gotta come from somewhere. They'll raise taxes on some essential item(s) then.
And just because the government says they won't do something, doesn't mean Jack squat.

Some body will have to pay this money back one day. Look for small increases in gasoline and cigarette taxes, reduction in social security payments, etc.,

Actually that is the fairest way possible. An interest free loan with payback based on future earnings.

 

[Shankilicious]

I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that's what will happen. I'm just concerned the govt will find a way to screw that up to

If it's a loan that has to be paid back not everyone would be interested.

Fair enough. But interest free loan is a good deal.

sure, higher taxes to pay for the coronavirus "stimulus"

 

[Luanne]

Yeah, but that would take more time to process and get out to people.

 

[rapmarks]

Some of us didn’t get the stimulus, but we will certainly be paying for it

Nothing over the last 40 yrs shows me the government ever plans to pay off any of the debt except for a couple years in the late 90's and that ended quickly.

unfortunately that's true. With low interest rates the federal government keep deferring and increasing the debt .... and pushing the debt repayment to the far far future

 

[am1]

Just send it and allow people to pay it back on next years taxes or over a few years based on income. That way the people who receive it are the ones paying it back.

So you're saying send the checks out to everyone, then everyone will pay it back. Oh yeah, that will work.
