IRS Payment Coming Soon
1. Each eligible individual (has a valid Social Security Number) is entitled to a payment (rebate) for 2020 equal to:
a. $1,200 ($2,400 for a couple filing a joint tax return) PLUS,
b. $500 for each qualifying child (not yet 17 years old and a “dependent”).
c. The amount phases out for Adjusted Gross Income (“AGI”) amounts over $75,000 (single) and $150,000 (joint). No payments made if AGI is greater than $99,000 (individual) and $198,000 (joint).
2. The payment will be made in cash by the IRS to each eligible individual.
3. The IRS will send the payment based upon the most recently filed tax return (filing status and number of dependents). If you have not filed your 2019 tax return, the IRS will use your 2018 return information.
4. If you provided the IRS with direct deposit banking information on your tax return, your payment will be sent directly to your bank. This is the BEST way to get your payment!
5. If you did not provide the IRS with banking information, the IRS will mail your check to the address shown on your most recently filed tax return.
NOTE:
a. The IRS is developing an on-line process for individuals to quickly submit their banking information to the IRS.
b. To get your banking information to the IRS:
i. Google - IRS.Gov
- make sure you are on the official website of the IRS
ii. Click on “Coronavirus Tax Relief”

iii. Your bank’s routing number
iv. Your bank account number
v. Type of account – checking or savings
d. The IRS “Coronavirus Tax Relief” site IS NOT YET AVAILABLE

Happy New Year!! I wanted to do an update- as stated in much of our informational documents, The Tax Clinic offers free IRS services for low income members/Veterans of the Denton, County community along with surrounding areas. What makes this program unique is that we are using UNT Graduate Accounting Students as the Student Practitioner’s, each of whom is supervised by a licensed tax professional, to resolve IRS controversies. Not only are we using UNT’s Accounting Students, but we also use UNT’s Language Department as translators as well as students from TWU. This is one (if not the only) program that links both TWU and UNT together. The Clinic typically DOES NOT prepare tax returns. That job is handled by the United Way of Denton County’s VITA (Voluntary Income Tax Assistance) Program- which we work closely with to collectively resolve virtually any tax issue. (United Way of Denton County)

As we began seeing more Veteran Clients at the Tax Clinic, we found out that the Veteran services were wide spread out across Denton County and many Veterans have tax issues. Attorney Bob Widmer (Founder/President) was able to find the means and support to form the Denton County Veterans Center (located directly across the hall). Within the Veteran Center there are multiple service providers housed under one roof making it easier for Veterans to find support without having to jump from location to location. Currently, the providers that are available at this location is the United Way’s Veteran Navigator Program, Youth and Family Counseling, Texas Veterans Commission, Military Veteran Peer Network, The Veterans Coalition, VA- Hud-Vash, and Catholic Charities. In addition, if there are additional resources for Client’s are needed, they have the ability to connect with those resources. We are confident both programs will continue to grow and be successful. (Denton County Veterans Center) (Denton County Veterans Coalition) (Denton Chapter, Military Veteran Peer Network) Catholic Charities Diocese of Fort Worth, Inc.) (Texas Veterans Commission) (Camo & Kilos)

The importance of these two programs being co-located is that Veterans have tax issues and collaboratively, we are able to work together to solve multiple issues/hardships.

Our goal is to get this community linked to services in remote locations, that they have not have had access to before.

If you know someone in need, whether it be a tax issue or a Veteran in need of guidance. This is the place to come. Please share and spread the word, as many do not know about available assistance- not only through us, but other non-profits as well.

Please don't be afraid to ask for help... We all need a little help sometimes.
