ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENTS

This is an advanced rebate of your 2020 tax.
It is based on what you reported on your 2019 income tax return. If you have not filed your 2019 return yet, the IRS will base your payment on your 2018 return.

  • To receive your Stimulus Payment, you must have filed your 2018 or 2019 tax return. If you need to file a return immediately for 2018, Let Financial Groove know!
  • Will be deposited directly into bank account on file from latest tax return. If they attempt to deposit and it bounces back, does not mean that you won't get it. Will be mailed. Update mailing address if different from last tax return. Form is on IRS site and must be mailed.

  • View Stimulus Information

    There is nothing you need to do to receive this payment. It is automatic.

    The IRS will use your bank account information on file to Direct Deposit the money. If they do not have direct deposit info, or it does not work, they will send out a physical check in the mail.

    Additionally, there are new provisions allowing for retirement distributions and loans. There is also a new allowance for write off of charitable contributions.
