Yes. An individual with an AGI of up to $75,000 would receive the full $1,400 check; a couple filing jointly with an AGI of up to $150,000 would receive $2,800 ($1,400 per eligible person).

A head-of-household filer with an AGI of up to $112,500 would receive the full $1,400 check. The amount of the stimulus check is reduced once AGI exceeds these limits. An individual (either

single filer or married filing separately) with an AGI at or above $80,000 would not receive a stimulus check. A couple filing jointly would not receive a stimulus check once AGI is at or

above $160,000. Someone filing as head of household with an AGI at or above $120,000 would not receive a stimulus check. HOW DOES THE STIMULUS CHECK CALCULATOR ESTIMATE REDUCED PAYMENTS?

Once the AGI for a filer hits the income limit for the full stimulus check, the amount of the payment is reduced. The payment amount phases out completely once a filer’s AGI exceeds the

maximum AGI for the filing status. Our calculator uses the rate of reduction provided by the IRS to calculate your estimated stimulus check based on the information you provide. CAN I USE

THE CALCULATOR IF I HAVEN’T FILED A TAX RETURN FOR 2020? Yes, you can use your 2019 tax return. The IRS emphasizes that if you use your 2020 return to estimate your payment, don’t guess your

AGI: File an accurate return first. Adjusted gross income, as the name implies, is your gross income (wages, dividends, capital gains, retirement distributions and other income) minus

certain adjustments such as educator expenses, student loan interest, alimony payments and qualifying contributions to retirement accounts. You can find AGI on line 11 of your 2020 federal

1040 income tax return or line 8b of your 2019 return. If you weren’t able to claim your earlier $1,200 or $600 stimulus checks, you can do so on your 2020 tax returns. Use the Recovery

Rebate Credit Worksheet and enter the amount from the worksheet onto Line 30 of your 1040.  WILL ANYONE RECEIVE A STIMULUS CHECK WHO DIDN’T FILE A TAX RETURN IN 2020 OR 2019? Some people

will. Eligible Social Security beneficiaries and railroad retirees who are not typically required to file a tax return will automatically receive a $1,400 stimulus check. The IRS will use

information contained in annual SSA-1099 and RRB-1099 tax forms to generate the stimulus checks automatically. Recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) also receive SSA-1099

tax forms and will receive $1,400 stimulus checks automatically. In addition, Veterans Affairs (VA) beneficiaries and recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will receive automatic

$1,400 checks.
