IRS website now has some preliminary information about Economic Impact Payments. If you haven't filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019, you will need to file a Simple Tax Return with more detail about that to follow.

A portal is also being developed so if you normally have received paper check refunds from the IRS, you can submit your banking info to get a direct deposit. Tough choice of fast payment or waiting to get the coolness of a paper check and depositing it using my credit union's app.

If you get a paper check make sure you can cash or deposit it. I hear but haven't investigated that many bank extensions are closed.

my credit union tells me checks can be deposited thru the drive-thru, atm, or mobile app. the lobby is closed for those tech challenged or who like to interact with the good-looking tellers.
