March 2020 Tax Returns: Words From Patrick

By: Attorney Patrick Rosenquist

As you may have heard, the federal government will be issuing stimulus checks over the next three weeks or so. If you’re a married couple that made less than $150,000 collectively, you can expect a check of about $2,400, including an additional $500 for each qualifying dependent child. If you’re a single individual who made less than $75,000, you can expect a check of $1,200. With these stimulus checks will come a series of scams and scam artists.

Please consider the following:

•  Do not give out any routing number, account number, or any banking information over the telephone.
• Do not give your Social Security number to anybody over the phone.

The federal government is unlikely to call you and ask for any of this information. They’ll be getting this information from previously filed tax returns, so be cautious of potential scams. If you feel like you’ve been scammed or someone’s attempting to scam you, contact local law enforcement.
