My brethren (fellow accountants) be convincing people that you need us for this stuff. This should fall under financial literacy for the average person. This isn't hard to do by yourself.

Why?
Biden being a hoe, he hoping folks who made more in 2020 than 2019 will get cutoff from getting the next round of stimulus checks. That why the government can save money. So if you got the stimulus in 2019 and just wait to the next round of stimulus to go out you can just file your taxes after and get both a stimulus check and a federal refund. The government don’t want that to happen.
That and there may be added amendment to have partial UI not taxed
I don't see the issue with this. That's a good way to capture those who actually took a hit during 2020.
But just because you “made more” doesn’t mean you’re over the threshold and relief should be based on the 2020 situation. There aren’t a bunch of us who aren’t eligible at all from one year to the next.For the whites yes, but for usnaw we need every penny available.
