After you file

here is the plan Treasury Secretary Mnuchin announced last week

 

Direct Deposit - figure between April 9 - 14; if you did not file but receive Social Security, figure direct deposit by the end of April

 

Checks - they will begin the week of April 24 processing in 'income order'.  So those with incomes under $10,000 will be processed the week of April 24, those with incomes under $20,000 the week of May 1, etc. 

 

that is the plan
