He said both Deferal and that it was suspended.

We'll have to see the exact wording but it's most likely a deferal and we'll owe it next year anyway.

But for those complaining - note that ALL these $600 stimulus checks are TAXABLE AS INCOME and many people will be pushed up a few brackets by taking them.

Yes, all unemployment is taxable. And if you didn't set a withholding amount in the payment system you will owe the whole amount.

Brackets don't work like that.

EDIT: If you guys think your income is taxed fully at the higher bracket level if you "go up a bracket" you really need to check out how taxes work. Here's a good explanation:

Aside from some fringe cases applying for benefits or something there's no reason at all to be afraid of being in a "higher bracket".

This.

Come on, man!

People don't want to make more money because of tax brackets???

Skywise, if you are, say 100$ over a bracket, you are ONLY taxed slightly higher on only that 100$.

Never worry about making more money. You've been duped, likely by a shitty boss that convinced you that the government was taking all your overtime or something.

Good news, right!

Not sure how/why we're being downvoted here... do people really think once they enter a bracket they're then taxed at that rate for all of their earnings? Sad!

Wait so having a higher amount of income doesn’t effect a person’s tax bracket? Hmm

The portion above the bracket limit is taxed at the higher amount. The portion below the bracket limit is taxed at the lower amount.

In other words, if someone gets an extra $600, $500 of which is "above their bracket", only that $500 is taxed at the higher bracket amount.

...so why the downvotes?

He didn’t make the claim that you’re arguing against, that’s why the downvotes.

That's not how tax brackets work, how did you even get 12 upvotes
