Believe it or not, some people are being forced to return their $1,400 stimulus checks

[Andy Meek]

Of all the stimulus check updates we've shared since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, this is probably the one that will come as a legitimate shock. It might even be bewildering upon the first pass.

The two stimulus checks that were distributed by the federal government to millions of taxpayers last year -- for $1,200 and then another for $600, followed by the third $1,400 stimulus check made possible by last month's $1.9 trillion stimulus law -- were meant to both stimulate the economy as well as provide a financial lifeline for people in desperate straits as a result of the COVID-19 health crisis. That crisis is still acute enough, that Biden's stimulus legislation last month also took the added step of packing in a number of other ways that millions of taxpayers will benefit outside of stimulus checks, such as via a major expansion of the federal child tax credit that Biden now wants to expand again through 2025. But now we also come to the stimulus check update that seems so extraordinary to write: Some people, believe it or not, have actually been returning their stimulus check to the government. Read on to learn who should take this unusual step of giving back their stimulus money.
