But, the way I read it, if you put down 0 and then got it after you file but before you processing or whatever, then it will be removed from your return. If they see you still haven't gotten it by the time they process then it will be added to your return then. So on your case, it sounds like if you put 0, it won't get added to your return since you did end up getting it.

          There is no 1099 or anything. There will likely be a place that simply asks to confirm what you got (as I was asked when doing it online).
          Just did my preliminary taxes (holding off filing til my wife's student loans are officially gone under the PSLF program - she should officially hit her 10-year mark this month - since if we file jointly and they don't go away her payments will skyrocket).

          There's a one-page worksheet where they ask you about both stimulus payments (which TurboTax and other software will automate). Basically ask you what you got each round, what your income is, and what you should've gotten based on that income and family situation. If you got less than you should've you get a credit on your taxes. If you got more, you don't owe the difference.

          One key is that they treat each stimulus independently. So in my case, we got too little last spring and too much last month, so we get to claim a credit for the missing amount last spring but don't have to reduce that amount by the overpayment last month.

            Do I need a 1099 or similar form for my two stimulus checks or are those payments already baked into the 1040 Form?

            With no other income outside of my one normal job last year, it seems that I just need that W-2 and my Student Loan interest form. It seems too simple so I don't trust it, ha ha...
            You don't need the form, but if you don't remember the amount you received in either or both rounds, you can now look it up online at irs.gov/account.

                  He wouldn’t even have to use their name, just say that the machines in State X were rigged, and if it’s a state using Dominion machines, that would be enough.

                        • So, funny thing. I bought one share of GME ($71) and one of AMC ($7) for solidarity last week, and I have been following them.

                          They are tracking exactly.

                            Isn't it likely that two WSB backed stocks will follow the same trend since one would be likely to have bought both and will probably buy/sell in tandem?

                              I guess that would explain the buy side of the equation, but the sell side?

                              Plus, the thing is before the Robinhood Screw Job there was latency between the stocks -- AMC was on a similar trajectory but trailing-- but that event seems to have "synced" them.

                              It seems to me the only way that would happen would be simultaneous collusion on the buy side (retail) and the sell side (hedgies).

                                My guess is these cases, if competently defended, will be defended not on the truth or falsity of the statements but on the damages.

                                If no one believes the statements, no matter how outrageous or untruthful, there are no damages here. This case is even more interesting because it's not like these voting machines are a consumer product where the public gets turned off of them due to the statements. There are probably a very limited set of buyers for these machines (state and local election officials?) so they'll have to show that those individuals have decided against buying the product because of Trump's fraud claims. Probably not going to be that easy to do.
                                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
