    No one knows for sure, although many for some reason thought it was going to be done first of the year that is far from the case.

    The new president elect wants there to be one, so most likely there will be, but Congress will have to pass a bill to approve it, and the details worked out, and funding found for it.

    Then the IRS will have to do it.
    You can most likely expect them toward middle of the year

    Hi, sweathe1!

    I don't know for sure, but hope that it happens.

    With all the ideas about stimulus involving the economy with the new administration, I would think that it would be likely that we will. But, I think that the new administration will also be looking at how successful the last distribution of stimulus checks was, as far as improving the economy or not, in making their decision to do that or not.

    Thanks!

    Recovery Rebate Credit — If you did not qualify or did not receive the maximum amount for the 2008 economic stimulus payment you may be entitled to a recovery rebate credit when you file your 2008 tax return. Review the tax return filing instructions including the recovery rebate credit worksheet. You need to know the amount of the payment you received in 2008, which can be found on your Economic Stimulus Payment Notice (Notice 1378).

    Two online tools on IRS.gov will be available soon — the Recovery Rebate Credit Calculator will help taxpayers figure the amount they should claim on their 2008 tax return, and How Much Was My 2008 Stimulus Payment? ( check at https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/irfof/IRSer...ectLanguage=en) helps you determine what your stimulus payment was.
