Will spouse of US Citizen qualify for Stimulus Payment? AOS application in progress

[b911 16]

Hello, new stimulus has passed and I read they are going to consider 2019 tax filing as it's too early for 2020.

 

We got married in 2020 and we plan to do joint filing for 2020. 2019 my husband filed as Single.

 

My wife's case is ready to schedule interview. We have her SSN. Will she get Stimulus? Do we have to fill any form?

 

Any experience from previous stimulus payment? That time we didn't claim for my wife as she didn't have SSN back then.

 

Thank you in advance.

Not right now since she didn't file 2019 taxes. But during 2020 tax year filing you'll get all the relevant rebate credits that you have yet to receive. The 1040 form should have a space for Recovery Rebate Credit: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1040--dft.pdf

 

The draft instructions currently just mention the earlier $1200 (and $500 for eligible dependents), so unclear if they'll quickly update the instructions with the yet to be signed (by Trump) into law additional $600.

The instructions have been updated to include both amounts: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i1040gi--dft.pdf "Line 30 Recovery Rebate Credit"
