Washington D.C.(GNB): The Internal Revenue Service announced Tuesday evening that the IRS and the Treasury Department will begin delivering a second round of Economic Impact Payments as part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 to millions of Americans who received the first round of payments earlier this year.
“Eligible individuals who did not receive an Economic Impact Payment this year – either the first or the second payment – will be able to claim it when they file their 2020 taxes in 2021”, according to the statement released by the IRS Tuesday evening.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also tweeted on Tuesday that direct deposits for the second round of COVID-19 stimulus relief payments are already underway, while paper checks will begin to be mailed out this week.
While the checks are already being delivered, the Senate will continue to debate boosting the payments to the proposed $2,000.
“That $600 stimulus is going out starting tonight: “The initial direct deposit payments may begin arriving as early as tonight for some and will continue into next week. Paper checks will begin to be mailed tomorrow, Wednesday, December 30”, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin tweeted Tuesday night.
