This is your formal reminder, if you are close to a phase out or did not receive the Part 3 Stimulus of $1400 AND you filed an extension, AND your return may get you qualified for the $1400 stimulus, GET THOSE TAXES FILED!
Third Stimulus Look Back Reminder IMPORTANT Tax Filing Date Those Close To Phase Out
As mentioned here in great detail and in our Q 2 2021 Newsletter, one week from today, the IRS will look back on those who were phased out by their incomes on their 2019 Returns and did not receive phase III stimulus of $1400 …
Individuals earning $75k will be phased out at $80k and JT $150k phased out at $160k
Individuals/Families who had a higher 2019 income that knocked them out of some or all of the stimulus original money but a lower 2020 income assuming this person would have qualified for the $1400 per person stimulus based on year 2020 … what the IRS is going to do concerning this matter is on September 1st 2021 they’re going to review all of the 2020 tax returns for folks who had not received the $1400 credit for them and their family and if they meet that threshold they will then receive the $1400 credit period remember this is the much faster phaseout of only $160k and $80k Joint and for an individual.
Bottom Line: If you are close to the phase out and have not filed your Tax return, do so before September 1, 2021!
Have a Great “Phase III Stimulus Reminder” Day!

Financial Planning Tips
Required Minimum Distributions Now 72
As mentioned here in our post, do not feel bad if you lost track of changes, as in just over 12 months there were THREE – yes three major laws implemented.
Late December of 2019, the SECURE act (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement) among other things, upped the first mandatory RMD (Required Minimum Distributions) from Qualified/IRA/401k type plans to 72!
The Covid 19 related Cares Act passed in late March of 2020 nullified RMD’s for all of 2020, making for some confusion.
Second Stimulus Check Update
In this post, we review the new Stimulus check amounts, and where you can CAREFULLY go to check the status of your check…. here are the highlights…
Generally, U.S. citizens and resident aliens who are not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s income tax return are eligible for this second payment. Eligible individuals will automatically receive an Economic Impact Payment of up to $600 for individuals or $1,200 for married couples and up to $600 for each qualifying child. Generally, if you have adjusted gross income for 2019 up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns and surviving spouses, you will receive the full amount of the second payment.
