COVID-19 Tax Relief

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the IRS has taken steps to provide relief for taxpayers. On March 25, 2020, the IRS launched the new People First Initiative to give taxpayers relief from the burdens of COVID-19. Some examples of relief included postponing compliance action and easing up on payment guidelines.

I applied for the stimulus payment but still haven't received it yet. What do I do?

There are various reasons as to why you haven't received your stimulus check. The IRS addresses stimulus check reasons here.
