Direct Deposit. Trump asked the IRS how long for paper checks to arrive. He was told it's usually 4-6 sometimes 8 weeks. Trump said he wanted them out in 3 weeks. Can the IRS make that happen? I don't know. But the below comment stating it will take 5 months, is just not true. There is no return to go over to give a check. It's just an auto amount with names and addresses. Those who did not file in 2018 OR 2019...will have to file first. Then they get the money. Maybe THOSE will take five months? I get that. The IRS will have to do the returns as usual first....before they can auto mail a check. So those that want the money who didn't file the year before or last year, must do so. We already filed this year and so we were included in the first direct deposit batch.  But anyone up to date with the IRS will not wait five months. That's stupid. Further, the deadline for penalty has been extended from April 15th to July. What more can anyone do for those who don't do what they should in the first place? they must file first. This also means...no illegals.
