• Apparently I don't exist right now. Check back later...

    "I was really excited about receiving a stimulus check. I actually make enough money to qualify and I really needed to put some money away. I figured that the fact I live at home would hurt me, but when my parents filed taxes, the government said they could not claim me. Strange, since I'm a 21-year-old full time student living at home. But the time for payment has come and there is no payment to be found. Hm... so I guess the IRS has just chosen not to acknowledge my existence at this particular time. We'll see how they feel about my existence when my taxes are due next year..."

  • Hi Heather,
    For some reason the IRS excluded anyone 17 and over, even if the parents pay all the bills and they work.

  • Sounds like you need to write a letter to the IRS. Have you double checked and made sure that the date of mailing is already past for your SSN? It's based on the last 2 digits, so you might be scheduled to get yours at a different time than either of your parents.
