With tax season officially underway, many Americans are still asking, “Where is my $600 stimulus check?”
The stimulus payments were authorized by Congress under a $900 billion Covid relief package passed in December. Within days, the federal government began deploying the money.
That included payments of $600 per individual, or $1,200 per married couple filing jointly, plus $600 per child under 17.
Like the first $1,200 stimulus checks the government sent to millions of Americans last spring, the payments are based on income.
