Yep, It's $100k and over that gets nothing.
Which is fan fucking tastic. I work at a hospital with COVID+ patients and make to much for these gimmedats and don't even get hazard pay.
Thank you for your service.
Yep. Many medical professions will make more than this limit. On top of that, we're the ones still working everyday and putting our asses on the line, unlike the rest who sit home all day and then post clever things on twitter to make themselves out as heroes.
Well that’s gotta be some form of racism
Isn’t it 150k for joint/married people?
Well, that's a bummer... Another penalty for working hard, getting married, having kids, doing nothing for years to pay off my student loans early, and now making money. I wish there were those magical tax breaks for higher income earners that everyone talks about...
Seems you have to be Jeff Bezos to get the magical tax breaks. I certainly haven't found any. In fact, now with $10K limit on tax deductions and property tax, I'm slightly worse off.
I think it's based on individual pay, not split income. I could be wrong but it looked to me to be based on the individual tax payer 2018 income. So If each person makes $75k then they both get the full amount. If one makes $200k and the other makes zero, then I think the person on $0 gets the payment. Doesn't seem right, but I haven't seen anything about split income.
Ok, I understood differently, but I guess we will see!
Yes. At least the first version they agreed on.
If you're making over 100K, what is a measly $1200 bucks going to do for you anyway? I don't get it.
Some people live in areas (big cities, NY, SanFran, probably the only 2) where the cost of living is stupid (I don't see it being more than $100k/ year can handle) and also millions of people just learned the importance of terms like "savings account" & "living beyond your means" & "credit cards are for emergencies".
It's a 2T scam that's going to fuck EVERYONE, including those getting a "payout".
Yep. I find myself not wanting it, just going to have to pay it back later.
