Issuing of Stimulus Checks Begins

The Treasury Department recently began issuing stimulus checks to more than 130 million Americans. It is anticipated that the checks will be issued over a period of months through the spring and early summer with the initial round of payments completed by early July. For tax returns processed by April 15, the stimulus checks will be sent out in the order of the last two digits of the Social Security number used on the tax return. Those who filed their tax forms electronically will receive their rebates sooner than those who filed a paper return. A schedule of payment dates based on Social Security numbers can be found on at www.irs.gov. No checks will be issued after December 31, 2008.

The IRS has an economic stimulus calculator on its website for taxpayers to use to calculate the amount of their stimulus check. Generally, the bipartisan Economic Stimulus Package provides rebate checks of up to $600 per individual and $1,200 per married couple, plus an additional $300 per child.
