    Let us know how it went.

    Some of them, yes. People living on disability or social security. People who use the Earned Income Credit to reduce their tax liability. People who make less than $75K a year, no matter how much in tax they paid--even zero. 

    If you want to know if you're eligible, go to the IRS website:  www.irs.gov. There is a way to file for the check if you ARE eligible, and have not filed a tax return for the past 2 years.

    The purpose of the check is to make people spend money again so that companies can stay in business. What they're trying to "stimulate" is the economy.

     

    Giving $1200 to rich people accomplishes nothing - they don't even notice it, and certainly don't spend more than they were already going to. But if you give $1200 to people who have nothing, they spend it on things they were struggling to get by without.

     

    It is not a tax refund or anything else the recipient might "deserve" by paying taxes. It's not about the recipient at all.

    Yes, if they meet the requirements, which are having a social security number, not making $99,000 a year, and not being a dependent.

    Yes. Overall, they are most affected by the pandemic, we've had earned income credit so it's not new, they spend it immediately, all of it is borrowed national debt, we all pay some taxes even if not income.

    As long as you file a tax return, aren't declared by someone else as a dependent, in general yes.

    Children that don't file their parents get a check for them that seems fair.
