An important update on the stimulus checks..The IRS is expected to send stimulus payments to Americans with direct deposit information in mid-April. But those without direct deposit may have to wait until August for a physical check. A memo from the House Ways and Means Committee says the IRS will make 60 million direct deposits the week of April 13th. The IRS is using direct deposit information for people from their 2018 or 2019 tax returns. Paper checks will be issued starting May 4th.

Update ontheCOVID-19 Relief ChecksWe’ve gotten a lot of questions about this at my office - this important update from the U.S. Treasury Department just came through this morning:
Social Security beneficiaries who typically do not file a tax return will automatically get the $1,200 COVID-19 relief payment authorized for the majority of Americans by the federal government’s $2.2 trillion CARES Act. This is a reversal in the rule established earlier in the week when the Internal Revenue Service said everyone would need to file some sort of tax return in order to qualify for the payments.
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.
