Checked my bank account- still no stimulus. Out of all the stimuli(I think there's been 3-4 now), I've only ever gotten the first one.

@lucifargundam well, you were gonna have to pay it back anyway so...

@RustyCrab
iirc the us treasury said it's not considered income and thus not taxable- and is not meant as a loan.

@lucifargundam So I just went out and did some quick research. It's hard to tell if we're paying it back or not... all the media articles (helpful as usual) are vague and weasel wordy. They say "NO OF COURSE YOU WONT HAVE TO PAY IT BACK (next spring)". What they keep calling it though is a "tax credit", which sure as hell sounds like it's going to be cut out of your refund in future years. I need to go to bed, but I should look into this further...

From the irs
"If you didn't get the full amount of the first and second Economic Impact Payments you were eligible for, claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on a 2020 tax return. Even if you aren't required to file, you must file a 2020 tax return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit."

Even if a media outlet were to tell me good/bad news, I would follow up with sources or would be skeptical either way. Better to hear it straight from.the horse's mouth.
