Want Your Stimulus Check This Spring?

The IRS has announced the timeline for releasing the stimulus checks. The best way for you to get your payments early: file electronically with direct deposit information included, and do so early enough for the return to be processed by April 15.

The exact date that you will get your stimulus payment depends on the last two digits of your social security number or the first one, if filing jointly.
