This is going to do wonders for our image..........I imagine many Thai's will be rejoicing at the news we will get 20% of 'their' vaccines.

Not their vaccine. Donated to Thailand thanks to the tax payers in America.  If they don't get that <deleted> them.

With less than 10% of the thai population vaccinated so far what will this accomplish. Hope they don't thimk they will get to the front of the line or even get treated equal.

Odd story because back in may it was reported in the news that  4 million for Oct and another 1 million a month later and an additional 5 million early next year. 10 million was never for Oct.

Got the email and after reading it my first thought was that was a lot words just to tell me I'm on my own.

I was currently using an overseas address and tried to make the change by phone and mail to manila and Baltimore and was told flat out I cant use a US address while living overseas. 

You can't and PIB has the best reply on this. I recently tried to change my address to a re-mail service in the USA and Social Security told me can not do if I still live in Thailand.

I registered on the 0ver 60 web site and all done except no apt.  Just now went to the new site and used my log in information from the over 60 site and was  logged in. Had  all my information. So its all the same data base.

In your case no, see attachment

Bet most of those 100,000 are spies or members of the Chinese army which makes then essential to china. Just guessing of course.

She was greedy. I wouldn't help her. She deserves to lose her money.

Before anyone gets all excited about this do yourself a favor and google Sinovac and AZ and read up on them. Those vaccines are not as effective as the 3 currently being used in America; After doing extensive reading on this I'm going to wait and get it in a private hospital late summer or early fall. The Hospital that I'm going to use already has my name and information. 

I claimed the credit and filed 12Feb21 and my return has been processing since then. Seems if you your 1040 on line 30 shows a credit your return is held for further review.

Let ne add ti this since I started it, My intent was for information to only those who use the Uthai Thani  province i immigration office. Not announce any new rules ,etc.. IOs can ask for whatever they need to prove income  and other items like place of residence. The IO at Uthai Thani wants to see a bank book that is up to them.  The province is large and some have to travel a long way on back roads to get to IO which is located close to the Nakon Sawan province border. It's even located several K from the city of Uthai Thani. It's a 40 minute drive from where I live. If someone had to go back and get a bankbook it could ruin someone's day.

Intuit Turbo Real Money Talk Community  after reading comments of this site it seems while some  refunds can be identify theft verifications but most state they claimed a credit for the stimulus checks on line 30 on the return and IRS needs time to verify. But someone at Turbo Tax says it is backlog in processing returns. This is caused by stopping work on them to process stimulus checks.  Some who called IRS were told could take up to 10 weeks for a refund.

It's only complicating the lives of expats that do not meet immigration's criteria and shouldn't be on that particular visa.

 

I go the 800k route and never touch the money.

I think at uthai thani  IO they will also have to produce the bank book. Just like I did.

This may help someone who uses that IO. Did my retirement  extension yesterday using the income method and it only took 28 minutes. Took four hours to get the bank letters.  From the bank I had two letters, one showing ownership and current balance and the other listing monthly FTT deposits for 12 months each exceeding the required 65,000 THB but something  new this year, they wanted a copy for my bank book for the last 12 months, which I had and was told to bring it with me whenever  I cone to the IO like 90 day reports. Not a big deal but glad I had it in my stack of papers.

Is this being discussed elsewhere? 

OK, along with many others I did not qualify for the 1st $1,200 stimulus check as my wife has and ITIN. 

I did receive the second $600 check via direct deposit to my US bank account right around the same time (most?) everyone else did..

I filed my 2020 tax return (married/jointly) on the first day IRS was accepting them, utilizing TurboTax. Anyway, TurboTax indicated I'd get a refund of $1200 plus the regular refund I was owed on or before March 5th. 

Hey, it's not a big deal, just curious. If other folks in my same situation HAVE received their refunds I'd like to know that. Get me working on what I what I might'a done wrong or at least find a place to hide if the the IRS is coming to take me away. haha.

PS. I've been checking the IRS "refund status" web page. It's indicated they have my return, but still processing.

Have the same thing and used turbotax. Been processing for awhile now.

That is simply not true. The hassle with using money in the bank method is down to few rogue offices requiring folk to return back to office 3 months later. 

When I apply for annual extension at CW, I obtain bank letter at banks lower level and present that along with photocopies of last 12 month transactions. That's it. Walk in the park. Don't be confused by few random rogue offices. 

 

In my case it is true and you will see more IO will be doing what the OP experience.

I was going to switch to the money in the bank method but it's turning out the income method is easier as IO try to nail the cheaters using the money in the bank method.  Income method only requires a trip to the bank and you are done with it . Did it that way last year and it was easy except for the wait at he bank to get the two letters and credit advice statements. The hassle with money in the bank is caused by those who use agents who fund or lend you the money.
