After you file

@kycats15 - read ANY of the responses on this now lengthy thread. No one really knows. 

 

what we do know is that if the payment is direct deposited, it is expected to occur between April 9th and April 14th per Treasury Secretary Mnuchin.  

 

by the 15th, you will have a better idea of what occurs.

 

also, the IRS is required by law to inform you within 15 days after the direct deposit / check is provided to you how much they sent and how they sent it.
