Why Some Workers May Need to Prepare for an Extra $2,232 Tax Bill in 2021

Remember that second stimulus check so many of us were holding out for? At this point, it may not arrive until October -- if it arrives at all.

Lawmakers have been deadlocked on a second COVID-19 relief bill that should, in theory, allow for a second direct stimulus. Until such a bill is signed into law, that money can't go out.

Why the delay? It boils down to Democrats and Republicans not seeing eye to eye on a number of key issues, and unemployment is a big one. But President Trump has made it clear that he's unhappy with that lack of progress, and to that end, in August, he signed a number of executive orders designed to provide relief in the absence of an approved bill.
