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…”
