From the IRS Stimulus Website:

You will get the full amount for the stimulus check if your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is:

$75,000 or less for single filers
$150,000 or less for married couples filing jointly with no children
$112,500 or less for heads of household


Now, I'm no math genius, but I've been doing my taxes for 20 years using Turbotax and even I know the AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) is what's on line 37 of your 1040. That's all that really matters. It's only based on what you tell the IRS every year.

Those who have filed taxes with the IRS but haven't given them your checking account because you never got a refund. You can go the IRS website and give them the info and set up an account. I attempted that earlier, you'll need a cell phone, but when I attempted it wouldn't accept my cellphone I guess because it's a prepaid phone, which I've had for years. Here's the link.

Economic Impact Payments | Internal Revenue Service

For those of us who filed taxes and are unable to setup an IRS account, you will be mailed a paper check. You can check the status of that without a cell phone. I found out that my check will be mailed April 24.
