according to my bank's app, everyone who was supposed to have gotten a stimulus should have gotten theirs by now

also according to my bank apparently, i am not one of those people

WHAT THE FUCK

i got the first one!?!??!!?!?!?!

why haven't i gotten the second or third?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!!?!??!

my parents must have claimed me as a dependent again this most recent tax year to fuck me over

oh god damn it

"If you are a college student or adult who was claimed by a parent or someone else as a dependent on their most recent tax return, your stimulus will be included in their payment."

THOSE BASTARDS ARE GETTING MY FUCKING MONEY

@vantablack how the fuck is that even allowed?

Does USA govt even consider not everyone is in a happy family situation, and if they are, people are supposed to be considered adults by 18 or 21 or whatever and can be responsible for their own finances?

This seems like its done deliberately to nudge young adults to return to parents they are estranged from to "preserve USA family values"...

@vfrmedia nah, this sounds like a case of tax fraud

https://www.irs.gov/publications/p501#en_US_2020_publink1000196863

the exception would be, I believe, either if @vantablack was a student last year or was determined to be permanently and totally disabled, *and* lived over half the year with the parent

@bhtooefr

the exact dates of the #vantascape are recorded on the Fediverse, proving that
@vantablack has mental/physical capacity and she left California in June 2020 (I'm not sure of exact dates of a USA tax year though..)

@vfrmedia @vantablack US tax year is calendar year

this sounds like slam-dunk tax fraud then

file a 2020 tax return as individual if appropriate, report parents to the IRS

I suspect stimulus payout may not be available until the 2021 tax season (so 2022) though
