The vast majority of people do not need to take any action. The IRS will calculate and automatically send the economic impact payment to those eligible.

For people who have already filed their 2019 tax returns, the IRS will use this information to calculate the payment amount.

 In early May, the IRS will start mailing paper checks to households. The paper checks will first go to the households with the lowest adjusted gross incomes, and continue upwards.
