Currently there has not been an exact date the stimulus checks will be sent out. 

 

Please check the IRS Corona-virus website here for updates. This is where all updates will be updates as soon as information is available.

if direct deposit: Treasury is aiming for no later than April 14.

 

if by check, they will be sent in waves beginning April 24, with those with the lowest income going first.

The IRS began sending stimulus checks on Saturday, April 11th. While the IRS is working to get the stimulus checks deposited as quickly as possible, it may take months for some taxpayers to receive their stimulus checks. The IRS expects to start issuing paper checks the week of May 4.

@pitbulltattos  - the paper checks will begin mailing this week based on income so you can estimate when your check will arrive: 

 

week of April 24 - incomes less than $10k

week of May 1 - incomes less than $20k

week of May 8 - incomes less than $30k

etc

@Lady152  Check the IRS website and update your bank information if necessary.

 

  AGI is line 7 on your 2018 return and line 8B on your 2019 return.  Refund is line 21a of the 2019 tax return. and line 20a for 2018

When should I keep my stimulus check

Stimulus payments may be received by check, checking account deposit or debit card.  You will keep the amount you receive and report the amount of stimulus payment 1 and stimulus payment 2 on your 2020 Federal tax return.

 

In TurboTax Online, you are prompted to input stimulus check 1 and stimulus check 2 information under Review down the left hand side of the screen.

 

You can access your stimulus check choices by following these steps:

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Across the top of the screen, click on Other Tax Situations.
  • At the screen Let’s keep going to wrap up.  Click on Let’s keep going.
  • At the screen Let’s make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
  • At the screen Did you get a stimulus payment? you can update your stimulus check entries.

TurboTax will compare your two payment amounts to the computation within TurboTax.  The computations within TurboTax are based upon the information that has been entered into the tax software.  If you are due an additional amount, it will be issued as a Rebate Recovery Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2020 1040 tax return.
