Representative Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today announced changes to the 2020 Congressional Art Competition.

Tax filers with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns will receive the full payment. For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 above the $75,000/$150,000 thresholds. Single filers with income exceeding $99,000 and $198,000 for joint filers with no children are not eligible.
Young filers: Yes, if they are not a dependent, and have already filed for 2019 then IRS will have their information and be able to process them. If it is the second year they have filed then the IRS would be able to use their 2018 or 2019 filings to send them a rebate. If they are a dependent but have not filed for 2018 or 2019 the Secretary of the Treasury is tasked with a public awareness campaign that will provide information with regard to individuals who may not have filed a tax return for taxable year 2018 or 2019.

Although this $2 trillion bill is not perfect, I believe it is necessary as it provides vital funding for Alabama and the entire nation.

Since first being elected to Congress, one of the greatest joys for me has been to personally give tours of the Capitol Building to the hundreds of people who visit our office each year. I make it a point, whenever possible, to take people into the House Chamber, so they can see their government at work. If constituents have traveled all the way to Washington, then they deserve to get a tour from their member of Congress.
