Starting in May, the Treasury will begin sending economic stimulus payments
to more than 130 million individuals. The stimulus payments will go out
through the late spring and summer. The vast majority of  Americans who
qualify for the payment will not have to do anything other than file their
2007 individual income tax return to receive their payment this year.
The IRS will use information on the tax return to determine eligibility and
calculate the amount of the stimulus payments. For more information,
see the IRS Stimulus Package page.
