If Google was a person: Quarantine edition

Didn’t get your stimulus money? What to do if your COVID-19 check went to the wrong account

Everyone is wondering desperately where their stimulus checks are, which is why the IRS created a new online tool where people could plug in their information and verify their status. Unfortunately, it's not working properly for many taxpayers, and some are even reporting that their checks were sent to the wrong account!

Kim answers your questions

You asked and Kim answered! Got a question for Kim? Email her here.

Help me weather the storm

Q: "I've been struggling to get my business off the ground for years, and we finally hit our stride in 2019. Now with everything happening in the world, my team is working from home and I'm so lost. How do I get everyone set up for success?"

A: I feel for you. It's such an uncertain time, and this is uncharted territory for all of us. For years, I've relied on tech from Dell to run my business, and they can help you too.

Dell Technologies Advisors can assist with everything from helping small businesses stay connected and productive to finding the tech perfect for your team. And these helpful advisors are available by phone. Yep, social distancing friendly.

Call 877-ASK-DELL or visit Dell.com for help.


Slow internet is driving me nuts

Q: "I can't take slow Wi-Fi anymore. My son is home from school and always on his computer or playing video games, my husband is on video calls for work and I just can't get anything to load. What can I do?"

A: Right now, a strong Wi-Fi connection doesn't feel like a luxury — it feels like a necessity. First, run a speed test and make sure you're getting the speed you pay for. You can always prod your internet company if you're not, but networks are beyond strained. Your best bet is upgrading your equipment.

A mesh router is the best way I've found to boost my coverage and eliminate dead spots. Here's how it works: eero blankets your whole home with fast, reliable Wi-Fi, eliminating poor coverage and buffering. It's easy to set up, too.

Is my identity at risk?

Q: "My friend got fooled by a phony IRS call. It shook me a bit because she's smart and I always think smart people can't fall for crap like that. What can I do to be more diligent?'

A: Here's the truth: Scammers are smarter than ever. They know how to fool people, and they make a lot of money doing it. As cautious or skeptical as you are, it may not be enough. These days, if you want to be safe, you need some help. 

Identity Guard alerts you to high-risk transactions your bank may not flag, including personal info found on the Dark Web, requests to open accounts in your name and so much more.
