Never said anything about making over $3,000 and the letter they are sending is just now being used. So if you filed jointly and made over $3,000 you only get $600 no one is going to get $1200. And here is the worst. Social Security recipients most who do not file taxes as they are told over and over they do not need to unless they owe...will get ZERO even though they qualified for $300. The IRS knew this yet send nothing out to them telling them to file this year. Leave it to the IRS to cheat everyone. If you owe taxes they are also deducting from the amount they send. They lied.

We also received $600, when we were expecting $1200. It was very late, and the letter said the same thing as the OP. However, we wrote a check in to the IRS this year (the amount of the check was considerably more than $600), so can I assume that our "net tax liability" was more than $600? So why did we not get $1200? What do we do? I was hoping somebody else had this problem that also received an explanation. We also received $600, when we were expecting $1200.

They were disappointed. I won't get mine for several weeks yet, but I am not counting on much. I need to get a water heater, but we'll just have to see. . . . .

I rec'd a check for $533 not the $600 I thought. Why such a strange amount? I electronically file my taxes and have read something about a tubo tax fee being deductedin USA TODAY, but that does not make any sense. Any thoughts? I am a single filer and made under 40k.

Good luck trying to find out why. I have called the number given, which is completely automated and hangs up on you when you have gone through all of the menu. You do not have an option to speak to someone. The letter stated that I didn't have any children, but I have 2. Has anyone else had any success in contacting someone who can explain?
