I wouldn't use the stimulus calculator on Kiplinger. Tell them your annual income ... and your sure to see a lot of junk ads 'selected just for you'.

I've wondered when is it worth putting the economy at risk by shutting everything down? That is, how many lives can be written off as just bad luck/wrong place, wrong time? Certainly people die every day for many reasons, and while we try to minimize risk, we don't ban automobile traffic because people die in cars.
I don't know the answer, and would love to hear others perspective on this.
So far, this is what I've come up with. It becomes a problem when it is a significant portion of the daily deaths that would occur otherwise.
However, even that has to be clarified based on region, as hotspots crop up. I looked up NY State mortality statistics and was surprised to find, on average, 404 people die a day. It's been consistent for years.
NY is now having about 150 (I'm not sure of the exact number) deaths per day from COVID-19, and it is continuing to climb. That is problematic for me, and points to a significant crises on the horizon.
Maybe some other areas will get away with fewer mortalities, but I worry that while they appear to be in the clear, that situation will change dramatically in the next few weeks.

Few days ago, I posted a predictive article from ZeroHedge where the writer looked at death total doubling about every 3 days.
Page not found | Zero Hedge
Edit.....link won't copy
and this chart:
The article predicted 800 total on March 26th, and 12,800 on April 7th. To date, 6pm 3/26, the author's figures are off, unfortunately to the high side. Total today is 1100 (and will likely be revised upward tomorrow sometime on the chart), so his figures, so far, were conservative. April 7 is 12 days out. I'll post again then.

Don't know how Kiplinger could do that? :confused3: But you're right, it may be better just to use the IRS link

It is better to either get it early or very late not at the top of the curve where medical treatment may not be available. We are not at the top of the curve yet and the commode licker is getting medical treatment.

Did you ever consider the union induced high cost of labor for even a second?

Direct deposit to everyone on file with IRS from 2018 or 2019. Paper to the rest.

People who invest their hard earned money in equities shouldn't share in the profitability of the company, they invest in, with increased share prices? They certainly take the hit when share prices retract!
Why would ANYONE invest then?

^^ I filed both years, but no refund, so no DD information on file.
I just did some reading re the stimulus checks. You have to file an ?8 or ?9 return. If your bank info is on the return they値l direct deposit and you値l get the money faster. No bank info means you get a paper check and wait longer.

Well there you go... still on #6! And it's FRIDAY morning. Definitely Friday. I double checked.
All of the restaurants have gone into 'take-away' mode, so I decided to support one last night and got an excellent Thai green curry with jasmine rice. Paired it with a chilled bottle of Tasmanian Gewurztraminer. YUM! :licking:
