Question

Qualifying for CARES Act "Stimulus" Payment Based on 2018 Income

We earned more money in 2019 than 2018.  I would have been able to qualify for a CARES payment based on 2018 income.  Unfortunately we filed our 2019 taxes on Feb 23, 2020.  Does anyone know a way to get them to look at your 2018 taxes instead of 2019?

 

I suspect there's not, and this is just an unfortunate accident for people who files early and whose income increased.

Based on all the updated information located here, they will be looking at the most recent tax return you filed.
