The second wave of help in connection with coronavirus: what to do in order not to lose money

Like most U.S. residents, you probably closely monitor work on Capitol Hill related to possible legislation on a new round of assistance in connection with coronavirus, writes CNBC. If the law is passed, you will need to take specific actions to get paid.

According to experts, you must file a tax return if you have not already done so, despite the fact that the IRS has extended the filing of federal income tax returns from April 15 to July 15 due to the unprecedented problems associated with coronavirus .

At the same time, the IRS worked to provide millions of lump sum payments of up to $ 1200 per person or $ 2400 per couple, plus $ 500 per child under the age of 17.

Now, lawmakers are ready to consider the possibility of a second round of payments - after the Democrats of the House of Representatives passed a bill that calls for this.

The new proposal would also provide checks of $1200 for an individual earning up to $75, or $000 for couples earning up to $2400. The payments are reduced for people with incomes above those levels and eventually phased out entirely: $150 for individuals and $000 for married couples.

But Democrats want to increase payments to $ 1200 dollars per family member, with a maximum of three payments per family. In addition, children 17 years of age and older and non-US citizens will also be eligible for first and second payments if the offer is accepted.

But these conditions can be changed depending on what legislators in the Senate agree to. Meanwhile, the White House made it clear that they are open to the second round of financial assistance.

It may take weeks for legislators to agree on conditions. Then checks will be sent out, which will also take a lot of time.

Tax experts said that this time frame gives Americans the opportunity to file tax returns, which may help them qualify for the second round of payments.

On the subject: When to wait for the second wave of financial assistance in connection with the coronavirus, and whether it will be

Payments Based on Past Tax Returns

As in the first round of federal assistance, the Democrats' proposal will take into account data from past tax returns.

If the government receives your 2019 declaration, the payment will be based on adjusted gross income according to this document. If you have not filed a declaration, the information for 2018 will be used.

Thus, if your income decreases in 2019, you can apply for larger payments based on an up-to-date declaration. If you had a baby in 2019, this change will also mean that you are eligible for extra money.

“If you have an event that could increase your potential bailout amount, and if a second round is decided upon, your 2019 return must be filed,” said Henry Grzez, lead manager of tax practice and ethics for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA.

Admittedly, there are some delays in processing tax returns due to the coronavirus pandemic. In particular, processing paper declarations is slower. The IRS announced that they will begin to process revised reports electronically a little later this summer.

Of course, not all US residents are required to file tax returns, especially if they have virtually no income. For these people, the IRS has tool, which can be used to enter information in order to receive payments in connection with the coronavirus.

“Just because they don't have information about you doesn't mean you're not eligible,” Grzez said. “Eventually you will get money, although not as quickly as others.”

Tax refund may be waiting

Delay in filing a tax return can harm you not only in connection with the second wave of payments.

“Regardless of whether there is a second round of coronavirus payments, you're probably expecting a tax refund,” said Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union.

And the longer you hesitate in filing a tax return, the more time will pass before you receive your refund. Meanwhile, the refund amount may be greater than the second payment in connection with the coronavirus.

“People are leaving money in the hands of the government that they should put back in their pockets,” Sepp said.

Your taxes can be the key to a higher salary.

By filling out a tax return, you will be able to assess how much is deducted from each of your salaries. By reducing this amount, you can increase the size of your salary, while reducing the expected profit at the end of the tax year.

“This will allow us to get more money in a much shorter period of time,” Grzez said. “You can provide your own personal incentive by doing this.”

Of course, you will want to take into account any additional payment, such as investment income, which can increase your IRS debt at the end of the year.
