U.S. Senators raised hell, and Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin forced the IRS to reverse itself ...
///////////////////////
My senator. Murphy CT emails everyday saying he is responsible for everything good that happens re: covid. Today he said Democrat senators forced feds to run money giveaway for seniors through Soc. Sec.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Seniors on Soc. Sec who didn’t file tax return were always scheduled to recieve through SS dept. It was in the bill. Dems emailed seniors scaring them into thinking they wouldn’t get anything if they didn’t file taxes. IRS only has tax info on filers. They were never going to process non filers. Freaking fake news to make Trump look bad.
I will bet that Trump will ensure that tax filers get their money in two to three weeks because he doesn’t want all that goodwill to go to waste. When you promise cookies you better deliver.
Senior are getting their SS checks and will get the cash through SS if they don’t file taxes.
“Seniors on Soc. Sec who didn’t file tax return were always scheduled to receive through SS dept.”
totally false: up until about six hours ago the IRS coronavirus website gave chapter and verse about how SS recipients who normally didn’t need to file HAD TO FILE to to PROVE they were eligible and to get their checks direct deposited ...
As soon as a whole bunch of Senators, Dems and Pubs, raised hell a few hours ago, Treasury Secretary Munchin forced the IRS to obey the provisions of the new law regarding SS recipients, and the IRS hurriedly changed their tune and their website.
