Eligible for third stimulus check?

[Patrichulaa 4]

I filed for AOS and recently received my SSN and EAD. Never worked or paid taxes in the USA. Am I eligible for the third stimulus? If possible, explain this to me like I’m 5

Yes, assuming there aren't any significant changes to the proposed law from now until congressional passage and subsequent signing by the President.

 

Did you already file taxes? If not, you now qualify for the first two stimulus (*see Line 30 below) because you now have SSN. You are a resident alien for tax purposes because of the Substantial Presence test: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/substantial-presence-test After filing taxes with your SSN, the IRS will send you third stimulus separately using the info from your tax filing.

 

*Line 30 "Recovery rebate credit. See instructions."

If you never filed taxes, then you are not eligible.

 

Your spouse will be eligible assuming he/she filed taxes, like very US citizen.

Won't receive it immediately but still eligible. Read Line 30 section of Form 1040 instructions: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040

With no income I have to file taxes? My husband is filling jointly I believe

Since your husband is filing jointly that is where you'll claim your Recovery Rebate credit of up to $1800 ($3600 if your husband also didn't get his stimulus).

I had some self-employment income since I arrived US in late 2020. My husband and I will file tax MFJ and our accountant would claim the rebate credit for me in the tax return.

 

My question is will I get the 2021 stimulus payment that just got out? My husband received it today. Is there anywhere I can register my bank account info with IRS for this? Or should I wait until 2021 tax return filing?

Yes. After you file 2020 taxes, you should get it separately. If for whatever reason you don't get it then you can claim it next year when doing 2021 taxes.
