The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that almost half a million taxpayers did not receive their entire stimulus payment amounts due to distributing complications related to those who have dependents but filed simple/stimulus tax returns. They also report that the IRS had challenges contacting individuals who do not usually file tax returns, as well as those without permanent residences, bank accounts, and internet access. The IRS and Treasury Department stated that taxpayers who filed returns with properly claimed dependents and were received after May 17 were given the correct stimulus payment amount. For taxpayers who did not file proper returns, the IRS is working to adjust payment amounts before the end of July.
