38. I don't believe I'll get anything.

But I wish I would get a letter explaining what they did with my payment.

I find all this changing about so confusing and overwhelming. I went to the IRS website to see if I needed to do anything to take a stab at this money. (The link was provided by a thoughtful DUer, thank you.) There, they said that if you had no direct deposit set up, and hadn't filed at all, then you could use this alternative method to receive something--except it was only for people who made under $12,200.

WHAT?? Those that fall into that category can't make more than the ridiculous sum of $12,200. I thought, trying to remember here, that the sum at which you had to file was higher than that by a lot, so what gives with that? I didn't file a return yet, because I still think I don't have to, but did they change that too when they did the millionaire giveaway? And, please tell me they extended the tax deadline...If I now have to file, I think I'll just let them compute whatever they want to scrape off my tired old bones.

Well, I don't fall into that category. I fall into the "don't do anything and spend forever wondering why once again you didn't get anything."

I'm enjoying reading the stories of people who got it. It makes me feel good to hear that people are prevailing. But, I feel like the whole process ran over me. I must be tired without knowing it, because I'm usually sharp on such stuff, but damn! Is this the way Trump thinks? Who is running this crap show?
