Where is My Stimulus Payment 2024

The Internal Revenue Service started giving the coronavirus stimulus checks. Apply to get yours online using the guide below.

Before we get into how you can apply for the stimulus checks, you may not be eligible. Your adjusted gross income on your 2024 tax return will determine this. For single filers, the stimulus checks completely phase out at $99,000. For joint filers, this is $198,000. The phaseout starts at $75,000 for single filers and $150,000for joint filers.

There is also an additional $500 given to qualifying individuals with children under the age of 17. The phaseout limits apply to this as well. By just doing the math, we can say for every $2,500 on adjusted gross income that exceeds the phaseout limit, the check will be reduced by $125. How to make your stimulus check application? How to check the status of your application? All is below.
