Is This IRS Stimulus Check Info Just Plain Wrong?

Tens of millions of families are suffering the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, as many employers have told workers to stay home or laid them off entirely. Many of those families are desperately waiting for promised financial relief from the federal government. Coronavirus stimulus checks are reportedly on their way right now, and some people have already received their payments.

As hard-hit families try to figure out whether they'll get money in a stimulus check, they're naturally turning to the IRS for guidance. Yet some of the information you'll find on the IRS' own Economic Impact Payment Information Center is misleading, at best, and could lead you to believe you're not going to get the stimulus check you actually deserve. Below, you'll find the correct information about stimulus checks and whether you qualify to get one.
