The first economic stimulus checks of up to $1,200 have begun to arrive for eligible taxpayers, beginning with people who have direct deposit set up with the IRS. You'll be able to track your payment with the IRS, through a tool called Get My Payment that the agency will have on its website by April 17.
If you would like to set up direct deposit to receive your payment directly to your bank account, the IRS will have an online tracker portal you can use to set up and track electronic payments by April 17.
While we know when to expect the first checks, we don't know how long it will take for the IRS to complete the process for every entitled taxpayer, of which there could be more than 100 million.
