If you have already been deposited the second stimulus check, or are about to do so, it is best to verify that you were given the correct amount. And in order to do this, you could use an online calculator that was shared on the CNET site.

By putting some data in said calculator, you will be able to know if they gave you the sum that corresponds to you. And if there is any discrepancy you can make the claim to the IRS.

How to use the calculator

–Enter the CNet website where the tool is. Go to the part where it says “Calculate your second stimulus payment” (Calculate your second stimulus payment).

–In “Choose your filing status below”, select “Single” if you are single, “Married” if you are married, and “Head of Household” if you are the head of the family.

–In the question “What was your adjusted gross income (AGI)?” (What was your adjusted gross income (AGI)?), You will put the amount of money that you declared in 2019.

–In the question “How many dependents under age 17 did you claim?” (How many dependents under the age of 17 did you claim?), Enter the number of children who are 16 years old or younger, and that you have declared as dependents with the IRS.

–Finally, click on the button that says “Calculate” and the calculator will give you an estimate of the amount of money you will receive on your second stimulus check.
