*For the stimulus checks per child, it's important to note that for one child,

a single parent who makes $109,000 per year will get $0, and for one

child, married parents who are making $208,000 per year will get $0.

How can I check on the status of my stimulus check?

Millions of Americans will be getting a check via direct deposit if they have their bank account information on file from when they filed their taxes in either 2018 or 2019. Those who do not have their bank account on file with the IRS will receive a payment in the form of a paper check.
