Are they going to mail stimulus checks
The stimulus checks I'm assuming you're referring to are the Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and subsequent legislation.
The IRS has been mailing stimulus checks to eligible individuals and families since April 2020. The checks are also known as "recovery rebates" or "stimulus payments."
Here's what you need to know:
- Who is eligible: U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and qualifying resident aliens who have a valid Social Security number, are at least 18 years old, and have a gross income below $75,000 (single) or $150,000 (joint).
- How much you'll receive: The amount of the stimulus check depends on your income and filing status:
- Single filers with income up to $75,000: $1,200
- Joint filers with income up to $150,000: $2,400
- Heads of household with income up to $112,500: $1,200
- How to receive your stimulus check: The IRS has been mailing paper checks to eligible individuals who:
- Did not file a tax return for 2018 or 2019
- Did not provide direct deposit information to the IRS
- Are not eligible for direct deposit
If you're eligible and haven't received your stimulus check yet, you can:
- Check your IRS account: Use the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool to check the status of your stimulus check.
- Update your address: If you've moved, update your address with the IRS to ensure you receive your stimulus check.
- Contact the IRS: If you have questions or concerns, you can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 or visit their website.
Keep in mind that the IRS has been mailing stimulus checks in batches, so it may take some time to receive your check.
