Stimulus checks and 2019 tax year...

[Tidus992 47]

What will happen to the people who have not filed their taxes yet, they will not get the stimulus check until they file?

 

Also I had a CPA do my taxes this year which he took the fee out of my return and the rest went into my bank account,  he won't get a cent of this stimulus will he ?

They will base your check on your 2018 numbers if you haven’t filed 2019.  
And no, the CPA absolutely won’t get any of your stimulus.

your CPA has nothing to do with the stimulus check so no, they will not get anything from it.

 

the stimulus check is based on your most recent tax filing. So, if you filed this year for 2019, it will be based off that. If you have NOT filed this year, they will base it off 2018 taxes. Any adjustments (ie: marriage) can be filed with NEXT YEARS taxes for a credit/ refund if applicable. I had not filed for 2019 yet until I found out it would be based off 2019 taxes if filed. I sat down real quick and did them LOL
