"...Without any help from the professionals on this community forum"

And exactly WHY do any of the professionals here, who volunteer their time & expertise owe you (or anyone posting here) a DAMNED thing?

I've done numerous webinars, read many white papers, and (gasp) gone to the IRS website to research answers to my questions.  Give it a try?

"...Personal opinion, not facts, I think perhaps they are doing the 2019 filers first"

And you'd be incorrect in that opinion.  One client, 2019 NOT YET filed, got their $ 2400 on the first day.   There's no real rhyme or reason, only the IRS knows.  And this constant speculation is a complete waste of time.
